Professional Audio Projects
This is where it all started. Designing amazing audio systems for the UK's (and beyond) leading entertainment venues, from nightclub to football stadium.
After meeting with the architect, consultant or customer, the involved process of modelling the venue in CAD would take place, designing the best audio installation for the venue type, then demostrating, specifying, overseeing and supporting installation, training and eventually commissioning to hand over ready for the opening night.
