It’s been a busy few weeks of new deliveries for 22live as we ready ourselves for a busy summer season.

We have doubled our capacity of d&b audiotechnik KSL and XSL, as well as adding more SL-SUB, YP, VP and we’ve significantly increasing the quantity of D40 & D90 amplifiers.

Our Martin Audio Ltd Ltd inventory is also growing with more IK42 amplifiers, and more WPC Wavefront Precision line array enclosures and SHX218 Subs.

We’ve added DiGiCo and ALLEN & HEATH consoles into our rental stock and there’s been a flurry of outboard purchases including Rupert Neve.

We’ve added more DirectOut GmbH Prodigy drive processors and significantly expanded our stock of wired microphones including more Shure, Sennheiser, and DPA Microphones.

It’s looking to be a busy summer!

Hand Held Audio runs wireless audio for some of the UK’s most demanding productions. With around 800 battery powered devices in rotation, performance isn’t a detail. It’s critical.

“The biggest tipping point was battery life. All of the tests we did proved Klvr Batteries beat anything we’ve tried before.” says Nick, the Director at Handheld Audio.

Now powering everything from broadcast setups to a 60+ beltpack silent cinema deployment - with longer runtime, stable charging, and simpler workflows.

They’re even rethinking logistics:
Shipping batteries only, not full charger systems.

Longer runtime. Stable charging. Simpler workflows.

Last week we covered 3 nights of comedy in 3 Arenas; London’s The O2, Manchester AO arena and Glasgow OVO Hydro.

We deployed a Martin Audio Ltd Wavefront Precision FOH system with Yamaha Professional Audio DM7 control and a 22live Outline Professional Audio Newton Drive Rack.

We had a great result and good reports all round.

Thanks to all involved.
