What Our Clients Think!

❞
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.
❞
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.
❞
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.
❞
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.
❞
Jake Nash
Alter Hour
Top quality service, providing some of the best quality equipment money can buy. If you want the sound to be as good as it can be then you're in safe hands!
❞
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.
❞
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.
