Since 2004, when Audio Engineer was founded by Simon Ryder, we have been a pioneer of audio technology and quality. Audio Engineer has been at the forefront, and one of the earliest adopters, of technological advances such as directional bass arrays, beam steering of sound and achieving award winning concerts in places where people thought they were impossible.
Music is life
From the start, Audio Engineer have been a multi discipline company, specialising in live sound, acoustics, and noise management - a marriage of science and art. Techniques and knowledge have constantly been developing over the years and Audio Engineer continue to both stay at the cutting edge as well as inventing their own proprietary techniques. Our love of the science of sound has led to us sharing that knowledge and lecturing around the world for over fifteen years.
But what is this without music? Every one of us from our founder down to the drivers and crew started on this path out of a passion and love for music. To this day, we all keep that love alive by working gigs and mixing bands live and in the studio to keep that love and excitement alive.
“Audio Engineer delivered a superb service, from initial planning to ensuring that every noise limit off site was adhered to. The technical delivery was faultless, with nothing but compliments about the sound from staff and customers alike. The site presented unique challenges such as the 10,000 capacity dance tent being 50m from the nearest block of flats with very strict environmental health requirements. Audio Engineer delivered a stunning result with no noise complaints.
I cannot recommend them highly enough!”
