Can't fault these guys great service in particular from Sean. Equipment was easy to set up and use no issues, Sean did give his number to call with any issues but it was not needed. Picture ans sound quality where amazing. Sean was able to give us options how to even better results and we ended up with half the back of the house as a movie/gaming screen. We used the equipment for a movie and gaming weekend for my sons birthday surprise and it went really well. Weather wasn't the best but didn't stop the fun. We will definitely be using these guys again and I would recommend them to anyone that

Cardiff City FC have worked with Spartan Audio to design and install multiple AV projects within Cardiff City Stadium. Which have ranged from our large hospitality suites that entertain several thousand people on match days, and then cleverly convert to conference and events during the week. As well as helping analyse and improve the stadium bowl PA system to improve the experience of a capacity crowd of 33,000. Their on going support and expertise have been invaluable in keeping the stadium facilities up to date with technology, and ensuring we are one of the premier conference venues in South

Excellent service!! And super fast turnaround (talking a few hours even though the turnaround time ordinarily would be a couple weeks). Tom and the team went the extra mile to accommodate my repair and managed to squeeze it in pretty much immediately. I know that might not always be the case but, thank you!
