With a Symetrix Prism 8×8 for overall system control and microphone mixing, a MIPRO ACT-7 wireless system, and everything housed in a CAYMON SPR618 equipment rack, the whole system works in tandem to deliver the powerful sound of the Renkus-Heinz C Series, bringing the newest Coyote Ugly location to its fullest sound potential.'

Endless Solutions for Every Congregation

We spent some time at St Alban on the Moors Parish Church, Splott, Cardiff to upgrade and improve the quality of their live streaming service. ​ ​

As you can see from the video below, the audio quality, especially speech intelligibility, has vastly improved.​ ​

The Father and Brothers can rest assured knowing that the congregation will always have clear sound and be able to worship remotely or if unable to attend in person.​ ​

We offer a wide variety of products for all Houses of Worship, including speakers, microphones, projectors and display solutions, as well as the option of using multiple cameras to enable you to stream to various platforms. ​ ​

The UK’s most beautiful vineyard chooses Outline & Spartan Audio Visual

Spartan Audio Visual were approached to design, supply and commission an installed sound system that would meet all the various needs of a modern multi-purpose venue, yet also meet the noise control requirements of the area.

“We knew from the get go that this would be a very difficult challenge, given that we were effectively working outside, with the residences just a few hundred metres away as the crow flies. I was confident we could design the best system of compromise with regards to speaker layout, limiting and control, but it was clear that in order to present a solution that all stakeholders, including bands, DJ’s and wedding parties would be happy with, the audio fidelity had to be very high.” - Dave Morgan, Sales & Installation Director.

Restaurant & Bar Tech Live 2019

Restaurant & Bar Tech Live 2019

On the 18th of November, the Spartan Audio team made their way to London, heading for the ExCel Centre to exhibit over two days at the Restaurant & Bar Tech Live show.

Being Europe's leading event for the technologies for driving the profits of restaurants and bars, with over 300 exhibitors, we were extremely excited to be there to showcase who we are and what we can do.

Our friends from Void Acoustics were there to accompany us bringing along their family of Cyclone speakers and also their flagship speaker, the Air Motion which was not only a great conversation starter but also the star of the show.

As well as being a vibrant and approachable stand, it was essential to show that not only can we offer to install these exciting speakers but also demonstrate the integrated and stylish AV solutions that we can offer to a multitude of leisure and hospitality venues.

It was great to meet so many people from different backgrounds of the industry and the response from exhibiting at the show has been tremendous, and months of planning and preparation has undoubtedly paid off.

We are very much looking forward to exhibiting not only at Restaurant & Bar Tech Live but also at many other trade shows in 2020, so keep your eyes peeled.

Skunk Anansie, Cardiff Great Hall, 04/09/2019

Skunk Anansie, Cardiff Great Hall, 04/09/2019

On the 4th of September, 2019, we were lucky enough to be part of a pretty incredible show with Skunk Anansie in the Cardiff Students Union Great Hall.

Hailed as one of the most influential bands of the modern age of British rock, Skunk Anansie smashed out familiar hits such as 'Hedonism' and alongside their latest single 'What you do for Love'. The sheer power of the band and their performance was conveyed in the most real sense by an excellently deployed stereo hang of 9 L'acoustics KARA, with Lowe end support from 8 SB28 and 2 KS28 reinforcing the infra band.

Formed in the mid-'90s the incredible vocal talent of Skin is teamed perfectly with Martin "Ace" Kent on Guitar, Richard "Cass" Lewis on Bass and Mark Richardson on Drums, who expertly complimented their fierce front-woman in the Great Hall space.

Despite being a massive highlight for Spartan, it mainly meant a lot to our very own Tom, who's first show working as a System Tech/FOH was at the Newport Centre back in 1998 with Skunk Anansie. A lot has changed since then, but the absolute power-house that is Skunk Anansie are clearly as relevant today as they ever were. After all, as Skin has pointed out on social media, it was her and not Stormzy, or Beyonce to be the first black artist to headline Glastonbury Festival.

Ultimately, this show's electric atmosphere culminated in an utterly immersed Skin surfing the energetic mass of a diverse audience who were vibrating to the enrapturing beats.

Clutch, Cardiff University Great Hall, 16/06/19

Clutch, Cardiff University Great Hall, 16/06/19

Three years on, Clutch returned to the stage at The Great Hall, Cardiff University. It seems despite continually touring the globe; the Maryland quartet always finds their way back to Cardiff.

Performing off the back of an extensive set at Download Festival, they did not disappoint, with thunderous kick drums and super high energy; the atmosphere was instantly electric. Support came from our friends in Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons, the perfect accompaniment to Clutch's brand of bluesy heavy rock.

We love getting out to shows like this, and practically all of us here at Spartan were thrilled to hear newer songs from their latest album; The book of Bad Decisions, as well as some classics through our very own L'acoustics Kara system, designed and deployed by us, for the hall.

The hall has notoriously been a difficult and at times unpleasant room to mix or enjoy bands in the past, but we've been working hard with all of the crew at the Students Union to reverse that trend over the past few years. Even coverage, much-improved clarity and a more comfortable listening level without a loss of power are now the starting point for any touring show in the space. All this we have achieved without a hint of psychic warfare, real, or otherwise.
