Rather than listing all the equipment we own, we thought it'd be a good idea to give you a little information on some of the equipment we use and why.
Sound Equipment
All sound equipment we use is regularly tested to ensure it's safe to use at your event. We only use high quality loudspeaker systems and cabling which guarantees a clear, pleasent sound system for large and small venues alike. All music is stored digitally, allowing us to use a USB interface controlled DJ software which totally eliminates the risk of 'skippy' CDs on a springy dancefloor! We use wired and wireless microphones for different applications enabling guests to make speeches from any location in the room. We always carry backup equipment in the unlikey event of equipment failure. For the more technically minded visitors; below is a short list of some of the equipment we use:
- Mackie SRM450 Loudspeakers
- Wharfedale EVP15BP Subwoofers
- Virtual DJ Computer Software (controlled by the HC4500)
- Denon DN-HC4500 Midi Controller
- Cortex HDC1000 HDD Media Controller
- Numark C3FX DJ Mixer
- Mackie DFX12 Mixer
- Shure SM58 Beta Wireless Microphone

Lighting
The lighting is also regularly tested to ensure it is safe to use, and is cleaned on a regular basis so they give the best possible performance. Just like the sound equipment, the lighting setup is altered for the venue size and the age range attending. For example, we wouldn't use strobe lights and lasers at a 60th Birthday, unless requested of course! We use a combination of 100w and 250w halogen scanners and moonflowers, 150w discharge club moving head lights, LED wash lights, LED dancefloor effects and powerful red and green lasers which are all controlled via our computer controlled DMX system. For the more technically minded visitors; below is a short list of some of the equipment we use:
- 4 Acme Dynamo 100w Scanners
- 2 Acme Dynarock 250w Barrel Scanners
- 2 Acme Magic Gobo 100w Gobo Flowers
- 1 Acme ImpossibLED LED Moonflower
- 2 Stairville LED Par 56s
- 2 PR Pilot 150 Moving Heads
- 1 Prolight Equinox Nebula Starcluster Laser
- 1 Prolight Zodiac Club Laser
- 1500w Strobe Light
The listed equipment is available to see in action in various venues at the gallery page.

Other
To enhance the effect of our lighting systems we use an Acme HP2s haze machine. The difference between a smoke machine and a haze machine is that a smoke machine emits a dense cloud of white smoke which can often be too overwhelming for smaller venues. This is where a hazer comes in. The haze emitted from the hazer is very thin, and can only be seen when the beams of light catch it. This gives the same effect on the lights as smoke, but is practically invisible to the eye and can run continuously all night.
