What Our Clients Think!

❞
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.
❞
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.
❞
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.
❞
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!
❞
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.
