It has been a fairly consistent year with existing customers returning for more hires and installations and new client’s added to our portfolio.

  • We have successfully completed another installation for the East Sussex Fire and Rescue Services in their Bexhill station.

  • We also supplied a new ‘in house’ system to Ibstock Place School, Roehampton who finally decided on a Soundcraft GB4 analogue desk, Proel active monitors , an 8 way radio microphone system and 4 HK Elements Systems. The system will be used on the school’s many varied productions and outside presentations and will be operated by ‘in-house’ staff.
    • Music on the tiles
  • For the 6th year Libra Audio has been the main audio supplier to the Jazz On The Pantiles season in Tunbridge Wells, and were asked to provide a similar system over the Bank holiday weekend for the ‘Music On The Tiles’ concerts. Four acts per day from 1.30-9.30 pm ranging from solo singers to an eleven piece Blues Brothers tribute band. This was the first year for the event and was an overwhelming success for all the traders despite the adverse weather on the Saturday.
