Rental company Centre Stage have made a strategic move into high-end PA, with the purchase of 20 Martin Audio Wavefront W8C/WSX stacks. Centre Stage proprietor, Graham Baker - who shares his Staples Corner warehouse facility in north west London with another W8C-based company, FX Music - placed the order through Steve ‘Bunty’ King at LMC Audio in London. This will give the combined companies a joint stockholding of 50 W8C stacks - providing ample power to undertake large stadium and arena shows.

In the past Centre Stage have specialised in one-off arts events shows and local authority events - and this summer provided coverage for Miss Dynamite at West Ham’s Upton Park stadium. Graham told us: "I was introduced to Martin Audio and have always felt confident about their systems. The day FX Music went out and bought 30 stacks the writing was on the wall."

He added there were numerous reasons that had driven his purchasing decision: "Principally these are that the system sounds good, it trucks well, it’s easy to cross-hire - and the back-up is exceptional. We looked at other systems, and as we became increasingly aware of their problems, it turned into a one-horse race."
