229 has just installed the latest d&b Q-Series (flown in line array) with J-Series Subs. The d&b loudspeakers are amongst the top two loudspeaker brands in the world and have created one of the best sound environments in the UK to listen to live music. In addition, the Digidesign VENUE SC48 digital mixing consoles are top of their class for audio quality and provide the ability to record any performance to Pro Tools. The new d&b stage monitoring system (7 x Max 12's monitors, Drum fill of 1 x C7 sub and 1 x C4 Top) is also top of the range.  For a full spec.. click here.

The system is up and running and gig ready!
