    Default The best techno sound systems in the UK

    Oh it just annoys the hell out of me!!!!!

    Why is it we all get the back room shity sound systems in techno? I mean i love it an all but you just can't hear the music properly!! I enjoy playing on the good sound systems but it's either they're none uk or really cool ppl in the UK who really care about their sound (and there's not many of them believe you me!!!)

    What's going on??!!!

    List your best sound systems and we can all make sure we get to play there (if they'll accept us hehehehe)....

    I think the system @ Atmosphere, The Grove, Seaton's pretty damn phat! Not bad for a "shitty back room" ;) :lol:

    You should hear the Calton then. They have a great soundsystem for their space, it can be pumped loud enough that you can feel the nuggets of truth in your rectum vibrating with the bass.

    It's a shame environmental health keep coming round and have installed limiters so it never gets that loud, apart from at the sound checks. I've seen the British Murder Boys play there and be so disattified with the sound they redlined the mixer trying to get more punch out of it.

    Sadly in the past, but I always remember when Templehead put an extra 16K on top of the 4K in house system in the Harvey Milk Bar at Leeds...

    Both soundsystems in @ Voodoo are absolutely top notch, and their engineering team is on the ball totally. I think thats the problem with half of the clubs, they are ran by people who think they can manage the soundsystems too when they dont have a clue, and you end up playing on one of the shittest rigs you've come across

    its a very hit n miss situation sometimes

    I know I'm biased... but the Dagobah system is immense.

    Well, what's the point?

    It's loud as hell as it is, and we'd only destroy the building.

    Not sure.

    There was a diagram on the back of a flyer a while back.

    I've got a stack at home.

    I'll scan one tomorrow if you like.

    The End is responsible for my hearing damage. Think their system is over-rated IMO.
