Spadger is committed to producing the highest standard of sound, and over the years has consistently achieved results in all manner of venues that have surpassed both promoter and audience expectations.

Our engineers are trained from day one, in stage setting through to front of house engineering, in a multitude of differing sized venues, from small halls to cathedrals, dead rooms to ambient ‘nightmares’ and from tent to open-air. Over the many years of practising our ‘art’, I have come to the conclusion that the ‘name’ on the box or desk will only help equate to the outputted sound, if the engineer has a set of ears and is aware and sympathetic to both venue, artist and audience.

Equipment should obviously work, and be suitable for the job at hand, and here we know we have found a combination of equipment which does all the things it says on the box and to our complete satisfaction. We remain competitive because, rather than in spite of, the investment we undertake in keeping equipment working and viable, and have realised that ‘expensive’ name brand equipment is not the be all and end all of good sound provision.

Lining the pockets of manufacturers who press their wares on suppliers, through massive advertising and ‘spech loyalty’, constantly burdens suppliers with the perceived need to supply an ‘image’ and ‘must have’ state of the art gear which is (mostly) overrated and financially crippling. We know our market, and what continues to hold us in good stead during the passage of time is our engineers and their abilities.

We supply a vast range of needs, indeed we are one of the few suppliers left who can deliver quality sound from the very basic to a full concert spec, able to fill the back of a car for small halls to wedging gear into a 7.5 tonner! Our list of equipment may seem, to the unaware, to lack a certain ‘brandedness’; we have no fears that after all this time, and the work we undertake it will do the job in hand very well, and we will be producing quality results for many years to come.

Speaker Systems;                     

WEATHERSTONE AUDIO

Our Speaker systems are built for us by a company in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, to specifications that have been proven as the most ‘sonically natural’ available at this time. Designed to produce audio throughout the complete spectrum WITHOUT any form of internal or external processing, save for active 3 way crossovers on the ‘big’ rig. Generic systems, have (in some cases rightly), over years been tarnished through poor design, bad build and useless results……here we know the system is as good as it gets, having been used without exception for all our high profile work, with major artists and events the breadth of the country.

Again high quality sound provision has been sought and delivered, without compromise, through diligent use of equipment and products correctly put together and capable of delivering the needs of musicians for the best possible results. We meet many engineers from all genres of music, whom have all been bowled over by the results of the system, we do however qualify that ‘good’ engineers make better results, if engineering staff are unaccustomed to designing quality sound, results can be heard as such…..what is put in, comes out!!
