    Patrick Andrews
    FOH Engineer
    I was amazed at the response and even coverage achieved straight off the software calculations… The system handled the content effortlessly, providing a clear punchy sound to every corner of the venue and plenty of headroom ensuring all transients were delivered accurately.
  2. ❞
    Russ Danks
    Managing Director - Laine Pub Co
    Penguin’s choice of different Martin Audio sound systems has totally energised our pubs … Dylan and the team at Penguin help us nail this every time.
  3. ❞
    Chris Lowe
    Mutations Festival / One Inch Badge
    I trusted their judgement on using a Martin Audio PA for full coverage of the room and audio quality for the punters. I can honestly say it delivered beyond my expectations on the day.
  4. ❞
    Social Convention
    E1 London
    Massive shout out to all of the crew at Penguin Media Hire who trick out our gaff with speakers, projectors, sound desks & lighting – everything that makes anything MAGIC! They’re brilliant, ridiculously helpful, so good, and literally the nicest humans on the planet.
  5. ❞
    Joe Pidgeon
    AGMP
    Having worked with Penguin Media Hire on large scale events for a number of years I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are diligent, hard‑working and always go to the nth degree to get the job done no matter what the circumstances.
  6. ❞
    Jamie Young
    Backroom Productions
    Just a quick one to thank for a cracking gig last night! The guys (Groove Armada) really enjoyed it as did I. Production was all spot on as well, so top work all round!
  7. ❞
    Ian Baird
    Whiskey Bravo Productions / Brighton Pride
    The dynamic properties of the Martin Audio system allowed us to produce a far richer sound within our stages without serious issues with sound bleed, both between stages and out of the wider site.
