Pro Audio Systems (PAS) is pleased to announce the recruitment of Jack Robson to the post of Trainee Hire Technician. Jack studied Music Technology at Huddersfield New College and joins PAS to help deal with an ever-increasing workload in its busy warehouse. As well as assisting with preparation and maintenance of hire stock, Jack will be trained in a full range of technical and customer-facing tasks, working from a grass-roots role towards taking an active part in every aspect of event delivery.

Joel Sheldon, Hire Manager at Pro Audio Systems welcomes Jack to the team:

“Jack was a standout candidate for this role. He has already demonstrated a ready willingness to learn and a strong aptitude for the technical nature of the job. His college study in music technology, allied with practical experience gained from volunteering as a sound engineer for many charity events, gives him a very solid grounding. Jack’s appointment reflects the fact that our workload is rapidly increasing after some very challenging times, and we’re delighted to have taken on a team member with such great potential.”

Jack Robson adds:

“I grew up around music and have had the good fortune to attend many gigs from a young age. This inspired a very strong interest in the music industry both on the creative and technical side, so this is a fantastic opportunity for me to develop a wide range of skills in the perfect environment. I’m really looking forward to the challenge.”

For more than thirty years, Pro Audio Systems has supplied professional audio, lighting and video for sales, hire and installation, offering bespoke system design and comprehensive technical support to a wide variety of clients.

After the challenges of the last eighteen months, the PA Systems crew was more than excited to be back in thick of the action, supplying a real rig for some real gigs!

Summer Unlocked was a programme of free music, film and theatre performances that took place across various locations in Bradford during the summer holidays, and alongside Buskival, The Mill and Raven Staging, we were delighted to help deliver some live music by Bradford’s finest at the city’s iconic Mirror Pool site.

We rocked the series of events with a Meyer Sound system comprising MSL-4 tops and 700-HP subs, complemented by a Yamaha CL-5 digital mixing console, as well as all the necessary ancillaries.

Every kind of musical style under the sun entertained enthusiastic audiences, with acts like Mookie + The Bab, Edited People, Bailey P and Internet Raised, turning in fantastic performances that brought back energy and fun to the city centre. The Meyer Sound system made sure the audio was on point, as live music in Bradford returned with a vengeance!

Lucky Voice has been spreading the joy of Karaoke in the UK since 2005. In 2019 the company opened the doors to a 5000 sq ft venue in Holborn, London, which is home to ten state-of-the art private Karaoke rooms. In a recent upgrade to its microphone provision, the venue invested in Shure’s new-to-market SLX-D Digital Wireless system. Supplied by Pro Audio Systems of Bradford and installed by PSA Audio Visual, the system comfortably meets Lucky Voice’s requirement for high-quality audio, robustness and reliability. 

Craig Walmsley, Senior Technician at PSA commented:

“Lucky Voice has been a previous user of Shure, and we knew that this was the only brand that was going to meet all the requirements of the brief.”

Peter Butler, Business Development Director at Pro Audio Systems adds:

“The SLX-D is a fantastic and versatile system that covers every base, from houses of worship to performance venues like Lucky Voice. A high-end karaoke bar demands superior audio quality, dependability AND durability, all of which define the new Shure system.”
