Martin Audio Sound Systems

Our main speaker stock is based around the world renowned British speaker manufacturer Martin Audio.

Having started in the early 1970's manufacturing and supplying world class touring systems for the supergroups of the day that included Pink Floyd and Supertramp. Continuing in this tradition they are now the speaker manufacturer of choice for the main pyramid stage at the worlds most famous festival - Glastonbury.

They are now one of the leaders in both sound system design and technical excellence, and still the preferred choice for both the bands performing on stage, and also the crew behind the scenes. With this heritage in mind, we have built up a range of high quality speaker systems for all types of events.
