Warnersound have just purchased the new MIDAS Pro 1 to add to their hire and events stock. This desk is well suited for bands and corporate events of up to 48 channels and can be hired as either a 24 channel desk or a 48 channel digital multicore package with a MIDAS DL251 stage box.
The Pro 1 boasts MIDAS preamps to give an exceptionally warm and pristine sound. The desk features 6 POP groups as well as a host of advanced features to give quick and easy reach of the 48 channels on the 16 mix faders.
This compact sound desk is well suited to acts who need a great quality sound in a small space, or a touring package as a recallable desk which won't fill the van.
Dave Warner is now a member of the Audio Engineering Society (AES).
This society is devoted exclusively to audio technology.
iPads are allowing Warnersound to be able to mix in the same area as your audience even when the mix position needs to be discreet and hidden.
Using the new technology Warnersound's engineers are able to move around and mix from a variety of positions, great on venues such as boats where the desk is not able to be in an optimum position. This same technology is made to great use when mixing monitors, allowing the engineers to stand next to the musician and hear the actual sound the artist hears.

Warnersound have recently been praised for the quality of the sound created within Canterbury Cathedral. A well planned speaker system delayed the audio to keep it even and consistent down the length of the Nave. After the event members of the audience commented that they never knew it could sound so clear in the Cathedral.
Organisers of the event shared the same opinion:
"Dave, Just to thank you so much for a thoroughly expert, professional and well run PA set up at Canterbury Cathedral on Sunday.
The effort you put in to going there beforehand, getting the right spec, and setting up before we arrived certainly paid dividends…" - Simon Dennis
"Hi Dave - Just to let you know that the Diocese is buzzing after Sunday night in the Cathedral, and to say a huge thank you for your input. It was a joy to work with you, and a real privilege to watch real pros at work. People are saying that they didn't think it was possible to get such a good clear sound in that building. Personally I was bowled over by the sheer numbers of people who turned up: it was a fitting culmination and fulfilment of a vision we had over a year ago, and you helped us make it so special." - Rev John Leach
Warnersound provided sound and video for an education conference in London and Cardiff with fantastic results. Julie Lawes, director of Catch Up says:
"Really impressed with Warner Sound. People at the Catch Up conferences commented on the high quality of the sound. It was most appreciated that it was all stress free our end! Dave thought of everything and for a reasonable price too! Would definitely use the company again"

Warnersound have recently purchased a Neumann KMS 105 and a Shure Beta 52 to add to it's hire and engineering stock. Email for prices. Can be shipped individually or as part of a set.
Neumann KMS 105: A studio quality capsule with a very even and smooth response. It has an advanced double mesh pop filter to reduce wind noise, and a condenser capsule to reduce sibilance. This capsule sounds brilliant across the entire vocal range with artists immediately noticing the improvement in their sound when using this mic.
Shure Beta 52: A dynamic microphone tailored to work well within kick drums. This mic has an acoustically enhanced low-end, giving the kick drum the thump it needs in the subs.
Borderlands Conference with Phatfish
Dave was booked engineer both the music by Phatfish and the conference activites. He used a combination of in house equipment and Phatfishs own desk and microphones. After some fine tuning on the kit all sounded good.
