It’s been long time coming but we were finally able to take delivery of 24 L-Acoustics K2

Adding to our existing stock of Kara II Kiva II systems, this latest investment cements King Sound as the largest stockist of L-Acoustics in the South West.

We look forward to enjoying the K2 during the crazy busy summer and beyond. Meanwhile we’d better give a good clean as it’s back from the fantastic Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert last weekend at the palace 👑 🔊🇬🇧

New Addition to Our Fleet — Renault Premium, 18T!

With growing demand for our production services, we are proud to introduce another new vehicle to our ever expanding fleet! 

Please meet our latest addition — an 18 Tonne Renault Premium 270 truck, it is our biggest and most powerful yet with an impressive 27.5ft box and a payload of 10000 kg. Yes, he is a Big Boy! 

MD Paul King comments:

‘‘Transport logistics is a massive part of what we do, especially in the frantically busy summer months. This new truck will drastically cut our reliance on haulage contractors as a thoughtfully loaded 18 tonner can contain an awful lot of tech kit. As this fits inside our warehouse we can prep and load kit straight on the lorry ready to go out — this alone will save a lot of time compared to lining everything up, waiting for the contractor to turn up only to find they’ve sent a curtainsider!’’

The Renault is modern and well equipped with lots of additional features such as cruise control, air conditioner, night heater etc. It is also is a sleeper which is ideal for our crew travelling on long trips. 

For this one, we’ve changed our traditional livery design a bit, walking from our central, big logo style to more discreet and contemporary look. Graphic elements thus (while essentially the same) were redefined a bit.

Christina Meyer-King, Brand manager for King Sound said:

‘’We wanted our fleet reflect our raising profile as the company. Having achieved a good level of brand awareness in our industry, our livery aesthetics aims to deliver a confident image of well established business with no-nonsense brand identity. Less clutter, less fussiness, more focus on product and customer is definitely the leading trend in brand design and logo families now and we totally follow it’’.

If you see our team, driving it in its distinctive brown livery on the road, give us a wave! : ) 

King Sound celebrates 25 years of service with the crew new uniform!

Much awaited upgrade for the King Crew uniform!

If you’ve followed us for a while, you’ll know that our team has been wearing branded, brown ‘King Crew’ t-shirts for more than ten years now and 'King Brown’ (as it is affectionately known here) was formally adopted as our company colour back in 2008! With that in mind, (and after a LOT of feedback from the team) we thought it was time to evolve our employee dress code a bit!

We are pleased to share that all our crew members now have a set of winter uniform they can wear in colder times of the year. It symbolically marks an amazing 25 years anniversary for the Company. Yes, King Sound Reinforcement has been in business for more than two decades!

The new uniform includes a brown branded sweatshirt paired with the stylish beanie hat in brown too with a smaller (crown) version of our logo. 

Christina Meyer-King, the head of Branding and Marketing, was responsible for the project.

She said: ‘’Our brand and heritage is something we are immensely proud of and keen to preserve. Our goal was to keep our branding concept alive yet give our staff something they can feel comfortable, warm and smart in. We've tried different styles and colour combinations but based on our team's feedback, sweatshirts proved to be most practical and professional looking attire. Admittedly, it took us a while to find the right supplier to ensure the right materials and embroidery techniques are used. However, the result was well worth the wait! Our crew loves its new workwear and some even admit wearing it outside working hours (which honestly is the best compliment any company can get!) The hats in particular were so coveted by some of our clients and partners we’ve started handing them out as swag!’’

Getting ready for busy summer!

Busy summer is ahead of us, the King team is working hard to get everything ready and lined up for the upcoming shows!
