    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.
  2. ❞
    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.
  3. ❞
    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.
  4. ❞
    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!
