About

Reliable audio, every time.

I'm Jack — a freelance Sound Engineer and AV Technician based in Birmingham. I specialise in live sound, broadcast, and corporate AV across festivals, conferences, and televised productions.

I've delivered projects for Vodafone, BBC Question Time, TNT Sports, Premier League football broadcasts and Iconic Auctioneers, working alongside production companies including Gravity Media, AT Comms, Aztec, Immersive AV, NEP Group, and Cloudbass.

My main focus is sound — FOH, monitors, broadcast, and corporate AV — but I've also developed a strong interest in AV networking: Dante routing, VLANs, and AV over IP, which helps me troubleshoot and improve reliability on complex productions.

What I do.

From the FOH position to the OB truck — sound first, with the systems knowledge to keep it reliable.

Front of House and monitor mixing across rock & roll, festivals, corporate events, and touring. Comfortable with high stage volumes, difficult acoustics, and demanding schedules.

Broadcast Audio

Corporate AV

Conferences, breakout rooms, hybrid streaming, and theatre-style productions. Reliable operation, client communication, and polished delivery for high-profile brands.

System Tech

EQ, system tuning, speaker alignment, delay management, and gain structure. Focused on getting rooms sounding right before the talent walks in.

RF & Wireless

Sennheiser and Shure multi-channel coordination, frequency planning, and IEM management for busy stages and high-RF environments.

AV Networking

Dante setup and troubleshooting in live environments, VLAN configuration, and AV over IP. Practical experience integrating IT and AV systems on productions.
