Christmas 2023 – Theatre Shows

Christmas 2023 – Theatre Shows

Looking for a trusted provider for Theatre Sound Hire, Lighting and Video? CDB Production Solutions is here to help.

We have worked with several schools in the area providing technical packages for Christmas Liturgies, performances and showcases.

Included in the Theatre Show Audio packages we provided were our DiGiCo SD Series consoles, D&B Audiotechnik Y Series PA systems and several Trantec Radio Microphone Systems. Using high quality, touring standard equipment, ensures that your show is heard crystal clear, every time.

Alongside our Theatre Audio Package, we provided several lighting packages to suit the needs of the show. Performances can be enhanced with bright colours and lighting in a space to draw attention to your performance area. We achieved this with our Hog 4 consoles, and a variety of ADJ moving lights and LED fixtures.

All kit was tested prior to each show leaving the warehouse meaning our experienced engineers on site delivered every project seamlessly. Meaning that each client had no concerns about any audio visual requirements.

We would like to thank all of the schools for trusting CDB to provide sound, lighting and video for their shows. Thanks also must go to our staff ensuring every event was expertly delivered.

If you require Theatre Sound Hire, Lighting or Video for your upcoming show, then get in touch today. We will be more than happy to discuss your requirements.

Sedgefield Rock & Blues

For the past 5 years we have been providing full production to Sedgefield Rock & Blues Club, a small music venue which offers great acts that always have sell out performances.

The end of 2017 saw the Rebecca Downes Band come to Sedgefield Rock & Blues Club, where we provided a full sound system and lighting rig.  The sound system consisted of 2 stacks of D&B C series PA, along with wedge monitors and in ear monitor sends, all controlled through our Behringer X32 full size digital mixing console, with wireless access on stage for the band to control their own monitor mixes. 

As well as this we provided a full lighting rig with flown movers, led effects and matrix blinders. This was all controlled through the High End Systems Hoglet 4 coupled with a 24” 10 point multi touch screen loaded with Hog 4 PC.  This is ideal for setting up in a smaller venue due to its small footprint, without losing any power that Hog OS can bring.

We are back with Sedgefield Rock & Blues Club in the new year for the start of another great set of gigs.

As always, if we can assist with production services for your event, including sound, lighting and temporary power distribution, get in touch via our contact us form. 

Or if you would prefer to speak to someone in person, give our office a call on 01325 520357.  We are always on hand to provide information and guidance.
