Audio Solutions - Outdoor Events

SFL provide specialist sound system configurations for all types of outdoor event.

Providing good clear sound coverage in wide open spaces is not just a matter of using a "pile of speakers"!

We have customised support rigs that allow speaker systems to be assembled at the right height and coverage angles. Often we simulate our designs in computer models before we commit them to your event.

The bottom line is that we have a track record of providing flawless outdoor sound reinforcement for festivals, concerts, sacred gatherings, firework shows and classical productions.

The provision of technical services outdoors has special safety issues and risk challenges with our friendly UK weather patterns! We will be with you, rain or shine (we hope the latter!), on time and always with a "show must go on" attitude.

Outdoor events are often given higher levels of attention from local council and safety authorities, and rightly so. Rest assured that SFL are responsible professionals with strict adherence to safe working procedures and risk assessments. A copy of our safety manual documentation is always available to our clients and associates.

Conferences Audio Visual

It is hard to show pictures of conference sound because we really hope that you don't "notice" the system when SFL are providing the solution!

We are able to provide discrete distributed sound systems that provide every seat in the conference venue with the clear speech intelligibility required for effective presentations.

Our equipment stock includes all the resources you will need including lavaliere (tie clip) radio mics, hand held radio mics for Q&A and low profile lectern presentation mics.

We are turnkey providers of total Audio Visual solutions including sets, lighting and image projection. The pictures shown here are from SFL turnkey events.

Classical Sound Reinforcement

Classical sound reinforcement requires a delicate touch. The dynamics of a full orchestra asks a lot of any sound system. Our approach with classical sound is always to remain "unnoticed". We do not want the listening audience to realise that these is any degree of amplification in the classical listening experience.

A perfect world with classical music production in appropriate venues with fine acoustics would render our services unnecessary. However we can help in real world "difficult" venues or outdoor situations where the soloists and orchestra require subtle reinforcement.

Sound systems for classical concerts can be as simple as lifting the volume of soloists up a fraction and providing the conductor with speech reinforcement to the audience. Choirs can sometimes struggle to rise above the orchestra, especially where young peoples choirs are involved. We can tailor our assistance to meet any need from a few soloist and choir mics to full multichannel orchestral remixing.
