Meet the Shure KSM11.

Our Shure Axient Digital systems just got an upgrade. We’ve added the KSM11 cardioid condenser capsules to our mic head collection - bringing studio-grade clarity to the stage.

Clean, consistent, and designed for today’s live productions, the KSM11 is already becoming a new industry standard.

Take a look at Shure’s video to see why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ39XZhmvDQ&t=8s

First outing for our new ALLEN & HEATH ME-1 system.

At the recent Limoblaze show at the Camden Roundhouse we debuted our brand new Allen & Heath ME-1 personal monitoring system.

With ME-1s, ME-U hubs, and Dante + MADI cards alongside the standard A&H interface, the system ran flawlessly - giving every musician full control of their own IEM mix, while freeing the monitor engineer to focus on Limoblaze and his guests.

He’s been handling FOH duties and touring the world with Bury Tomorrow for the last 10 years, and now he’s also a very welcome part of our audio team too.

Dave brings a wealth of knowledge with him and already feels like part of the family!

Three decades of Carnival.

For over three decades we’ve been powering floats at Notting Hill Carnival. This year we filled a 40’ truck with L-Acoustics Kara, KS28s, A15, SB18, and more for Heritage Roadshow’s Mas Band.

We mixed on an A&H SQ5 with Pioneer playback and Shure radio mics, and this year we introduced new safety measures including CCTV monitoring and our Hollyvox G51 comms system - ensuring smooth comms in one of the world’s busiest street parties.

Carnival may spark debate, but with 2 million people celebrating, it remains a vital part of London’s culture - one we’re proud to support.

Reading Festival has been a British summer staple for over 50 years - and this year we were proud to supply lighting, video, and risers for Lancey Foux’s high-energy Sunday night set.

The rig featured our Prolights LED screen with Novastar MX40, Resolume 4K playback, Prolyte Litedeck rolling risers, and a Chauvet floor package.

Huge thanks to Lancey’s crew - especially Scott Philibert (video) and James Washer (LD) - for such an epic show.
