Audio System Design for Manchester Events

Having worked in Manchester’s event spaces for over 15 years, we know the acoustic challenges that come with local venues. From the reverberant space in Manchester Cathedral to the noise restrictions at outdoor city centre locations. That knowledge means we can design PA deployments that work with the space, not against it.

Using acoustic modelling software like EASE and L-Acoustics Soundvision, we ensure even coverage, controlled spill, and compliance with off-site noise limits, all before we arrive on site. Whether it’s a corporate presentation requiring crystal-clear speech or a live music event needing full-range impact, we design systems that deliver.

In 2018, Manchester was named the UK’s rock and indie capital thanks to its vibrant music scene and abundance of music venues, including the largest arena of its type in Europe, Manchester Arena, which boasts over 21,000 seats. Voted “International Venue of the Year” for its concert-going experience, it is the busiest indoor arena in the world.

Manchester also has the largest UK office market outside London, according to GVA Grimley, which may account for the amount of conference venues the city has to offer (over 45 to be exact).
