blame your tools...

We blame a few things for our great sound. One would be our attention to detail. Another would be a great ear for music. But let's face it, without the right kit, even the best source can sound terrible.

Our PA consists of active RCF speakers for the mains section. We are also able to offer In-Ear-Monitoring (as a vocalist/drummer you might say Chris is on a mission to spread the IEM word...), as well as input for your own monitor setups/wireless mics etc.

Professional grade mixers and outboard processing are employed for controlled, clean and powerful reproduction.

We can hire in additional equipment at excellent rates should it be required, but our core system is below (see bottom of the page for lighting):

• 2x RCF ART-722-A active mid/tops, 12" two way (750w RMS, 130db per cab)
• 2x RCF ART-705-AS active subwoofers 15" (800w RMS per bin)
• Phonic Helix Board 24 Mk2 w/firewire and onboard fx

• RAMSA WPC-1400 power amp
• 2x Phonic SEM715 15" 2 way floor wedges (300w RMS each)
• 2 way monitor mix (plus spare for IEMs)

• Alesis 3630 dual channel compressor
• dbx 266xl dual channel compressor
• Behringer Composer pro-xl MDX2600
• Yamaha R100 fx
• Phonic onboard fx
• Citronic AP215 2x 15 band EQ

• Shure sm57s
• Shure sm58s
• Shure beta58
• Shure beta 87c
• Samson C02 x2
• Samson Qkick
• Samson Qtom/snare x4
• Various dynamics
• Rode NT2-A
• Behringer DIs

Let there be light!

You'll find that most small firms offering PA/engineer hire will leave you in the dark (so-to-speak) when it comes to lights. We want to be able to offer you the full package, so have invested in some industry-standard stage lighting, all of which can be synchronised automatically to your music:

• 8x PAR56 (300w) long-throw ali cans with sound-to-light, beat-chase and flood
• 4x PAR56 (300w) short throw medium flood (MFL) cans, either configured "always-on" for stage illumination, or on a controller as above
• ACME Gobos - throw light out in many beams/patterns and rotate to the music
