Another addition to our audio inventory! 🔊

We've just added the L-Acoustics KIVA II to our rental stock, along with the KIET II mounting plates.

KIVA II is a compact line source speaker that delivers plenty of output for its size, making it a versatile option for everything from conferences and corporate events to live music.

Using the KIET II plate, up to three KIVA II speakers can be mounted together on a standard speaker stand. It's a really useful configuration that doesn't require any overhead rigging and is particularly handy for smaller events or venues where flying speakers isn't an option.

It's just one of the ways KIVA II can be deployed, giving us another flexible option for a wide range of productions.

Both KIVA II and the KIET II plates are now available to hire!

👏 Huge well done to everyone behind Glammies 2026!

We like to shout about the technology involved in making events like this, but it’s the people behind it all that make it happen!

There’s a lot that goes into an event of this scale, from the planning and production behind the scenes to the crew working on site and the performers who bring the show to life.

It’s always great to see the team doing what they do best, and a huge thanks to everyone who played a part in making Glammies 2026 such a great event! 🙌

Pure Imagination 🍭 What a day at Tropic Glammies 2026!

This year’s W***y Wonka theme brought plenty of colour and creativity to the NEC, with Tropic’s ‘Pure Imagination’ graphics featuring throughout the event.

Behind it all was a huge technical production, with over 550 ROE Visual LED panels across the show, powered by Brompton Technology processing. This included a custom-built DJ booth with integrated ROE LED panels, adding another layer of visuals to the DJ performances and giving us plenty of opportunities to get creative with the content.

The video system featured Panasonic Broadcast & Pro AV Europe AK-UC4000 cameras, Panasonic Kairos, a Barco E3 and two Disguise VX4 media servers, while almost 500 lighting fixtures from Ayrton, ROBE lighting and CHAUVET Professional were controlled via MA Lighting International GrandMA3.

Audio was delivered using L-Acoustics, with Shure UK Axient handling the wireless microphones.

As the evening got underway, the stage came to life with DJ sets from Marvin Humes and Fallon Dee, and an incredible visual DJ drumming show from AFISHAL

A huge amount of work goes into making an event of this scale happen, both on site and behind the scenes. It was great to see everything come together and to be part of another fantastic Glammies with Pandora Events and Tropic Skincare.

Here’s a look at some of the action from Tropic Glammies 2026. 👀

Tropic Glammies is almost back! 👀

After a year of planning, we’re back at The Nation's Experience Capital with Pandora Events and Tropic Skincare, putting the finishing touches to what’s shaping up to be the best Glammies yet!

This year is bigger than ever, with over 550 ROE Visualpanels, almost 500 lighting fixtures from Ayrton, ROBE lighting and CHAUVET Professional, and more than 80 crew on site bringing it all together.

There’s a lot going on behind the scenes, and everyone is working hard to make sure Saturday is one to remember and we can't wait to see it all come together!

Check back next week for a look at the some of the action from the day.

More new kit!

We’ve just received our first batch of L-Acoustics X8 speakers, adding another option to our L-Acoustics inventory.

The X8 is a compact point-source speaker that packs plenty of punch into a small package. Its coaxial design gives it really consistent coverage, making it a great option for everything from stage monitors and front fills to smaller PA systems.

We’ve chosen the X8 because of its versatility and the quality you’d expect from L-Acoustics, giving us another really useful option for a wide range of productions.

Our flight cases are on the way, and as soon as they arrive, the X8s will be ready to go out on their first jobs and available for hire!

Out with the old, in with the new! 👀

We’ve just unboxed our first Avolites D3-110, and Tom and Lola have jumped straight onto programming it, ready for use on a festival stage to put it through its paces. Once it has their approval, we’ll be adding more to stock!

The Quartz have been great, but we’ve decided it’s time to upgrade.

The D3-110 gives us 24 native DMX universes, more processing power and the latest Titan platform, along with a few new tricks like the built-in Capture Engine, SMPTE and expanded networking options.

We’re looking forward to seeing what Tom and Lola can do with it on a proper festival job. If it gets their approval, expect to see a few more of these joining our rental stock!

Classic British bank holiday weather ☔

It’s certainly not the ideal weather for an outdoor rig, but the Main stage at Camper Calling Festival is coming together nicely!

We’re back at the Lakeside Stage, working with our friends Urban Audio Productions. We’ll be providing the video package for this year’s festival, including ROE VisualLED screens, a Panasonic Broadcast & Pro AV Europecamera package, Panasonic Kairos and Barco E3.

Hopefully the weather improves as the weekend goes on, but either way, we’ll be ready for the music!

Chauvet Demo Day!

We had the pleasure of welcoming Dave and Chris from CHAUVET Professional UK into our warehouse last week, they brought a huge selection of fixtures from across the whole Chauvet range, including the Ovation, WELL and Maverick series.

There was plenty to get hands on with, but a few fixtures in particular caught our attention. The new Maverick Force X Profile packs a very impressive brightness into a compact moving profile, with a 3.5°–57.3° zoom, CMY colour mixing and a full framing system.

The WELL Panel X also stood out, offering a battery-powered, IP65-rated solution with RGBWW sources, tunable 2800–6500K CCT and up to 18 hours of runtime. A particularly useful addition for productions where quick deployment and flexibility are key.

We also got to see the Ovation Rêve F-3 IP, a motorised Fresnel featuring Chauvet’s full-spectrum RGBAM engine, CRI 96, an extensive zoom range and an adjustable yoke for flexible positioning.

Thanks to Dave and Chris for bringing the range along and taking us through it! It was a great opportunity to get hands-on with some of Chauvet latest tech and see what these fixtures can offer in real-world production environments.

Astera QuikSpot, now in rental stock!

This versatile, battery-powered unit can be used as a Fresnel or spotlight, but where we think it really shines is as an uplighter.
The yoke features foldable feet, making it easy to set up as an uplighter, while the built-in TiltMeter is a great tool for accurate positioning, helping you get your fixtures exactly where you need them.

We’ll be sending these out in cases of 8, complete with a ChargingPlate and PrepBox, making setup, configuration and deployment a breeze whether you’re in the warehouse or out on site.

With an IP65 rating, completely wireless operation and up to 20 hours of battery life, QuikSpot is well suited to both indoor and outdoor applications. From washing walls in a conference room to creating dramatic architectural lighting outdoors, it’s a seriously versatile fixture.

Thanks to 5 Star Casess for the cases, featuring a smart accessory drawer! And thanks to Ambersphere Solutions for the speedy delivery 🙏

Tom is busy getting them cased up, stickered and added to the system ahead of their first outing, so get in touch with the rental team to find out more or to get them on your next project!
