The gear we use

 

DESKS

Our flagship machine is the Allen & Heath SQ7. It can deal with 48 channels of audio at 96k as well as 16 tracks of live recording at 96k or 32 tracks at 48k

We also use a much smaller Behringer X32 r which can handle 20 audio channels with 16 track recording at 48k

Both our mixers come with remote control, allowing more flexibility in mixer positioning as well as potentially eliminating a mixer position in the performance space.

 

FOH

Our main FOH rig consists of  an FBT Xsub 115sa coupled with an  FBT Xpro 110a either side of the Stage rated at over 4000 watts 

Our second rig consists of a pair of HK polar 12’s, again rated at over 4000 watts

At bigger events we can deploy both rigs side by side giving us a massive 8k rig

At very big events we can add in a pair of 18 inch long throw subs as well as a central short throw adding another 3k of power
giving us an earth moving 11,000 watts of music power on FOH

 

MONITORS

We have 4 FBT Xpro 110a s, 2 Bose S1s and 2 Alto TX 308s giving us an 8 way monitor mix.
We can also handle client provided in ear monitors with ease

 

CORPORATE

Our Bose S1 speakers can be discreetly deployed in a number of positions.
All our desks are equipped with an AMM system that mixes delegates as they speak.

 

MICROPHONES

We have vocal mics by Neumann, Shure, AKG and Beyer Dynamic.

Our drum mics are a mix of AKG and Colrec.

Instrument mics include AKG, Shure, MXR and Colrec.

Our Studio collection includes Neumann, AKG and Aston

 

DAR Audio know how to party No Party like a DAR party

The amazing Northern Girl: Midlands boy show is taking itself out of the studio and is set to get the party started as if we were still young. Think old school disco with optional added word games

We want to play at your party- We provide the music, the vibe, the sound and the flashing lights. You choose the type of music, and leave the rest to us.

It’s your party.

‘What if I want a mix of recorded and live music?’ I hear you ask, well, our PA’s all have the capability to handle 16 channels of audio, We both run a PA company known as DAR Audio so the answer is definitely “you can have both”.

Northern Girl: Midlands Boy (NGMB) began working in radio together at the Sony gold winning Bradford Community Broadcasting in 2002 presenting a weekly live gig guide to Bradford and the surrounding area as well as outside broadcasts from festivals such as the Mela. Our next show was on Chester’s Flipside radio. We were then one of the first shows on Cirlcl8 radio, and we remain one of the most popular shows on the network.

‘What do we get if we actually book you for an event?’

You get two experienced presenter’s who know when to talk between records and when to let music do the talking. 

You get to choose the music for the event- in fact we can go with flow on the night- Using modern technology, requests can be sent directly to our onstage screens. If we have access to the internet we can play just about anything.

You can incorporate live music into your evening from a band to a singer with backing tracks

It is YOUR party

You get a state of the art speaker system- the music will be loud and clear

You get a lighting rig that excites the ceiling, the floor and the air as our LEDs and lasers bring the music to life in real time 

You get public liability insurance.

‘How much is it going to cost me?’

We are running a half price offer up until the 1st December 2024. You get all of the above for just £200.00 (Terms and conditions apply)

The normal price for the hire of the speakers alone starts at £200.00

Paying two people for 6 hours (Remember we have to pack and unpack the gear before and after the event) at the minimum wage of £11.44 is another £137.28
