EVENT HIRE

Our Studio event hire includes the P.A equipment listed here. The system is controlled by our expert sound engineers who manage the sound for your event.

Your event hire includes 1 sound engineer on site at all times. You are welcome to bring additional sound crew and provide your own hired equipment if approved by our management at least 7 days in advance of the event.

BACKLINE

All incoming shows must provide their own backline and any equipment they require that is not listed here. Input lists and stage plans must be sent at least 7 days before each event.

We can arrange a hire for most additional equipment if requested at least 7 days before the event. This will incur extra costs quoted on a case by case basis.

LEVELS

We have a house limit of 98dB(A) Leq15. This will be monitored by our staff during the performance and is not negotiable.

Our PA system is controlled by a remote computer running d&b’s control software, R1. There is some narrow band attenuation in the bass and sub frequency ranges to reduce transmission and resonance both in the Studio and for the rest of the building. This is an important factor in the operation of our PA system and is the result of some considerable research and measurement. We are therefore unable to install or operate any other PA system without the appropriate testing and equalisation in place.

LIGHTING

A comprehensive lighting rig is provided, controlled by our Zero88 12/24 jester desk.

Our in-house technician will be available on show day to set up a basic wash for your show if required. Colours and light positions can be adjusted to meet your specifications, however our rig does not include any movers or pre-show programming. If you wish to have a more dynamic lighting design it may be necessary to arrange your own lighting technician and/or additional equipment.
