Great equipment, great service and great guys. Hollowsphere have kitted out and maintained the sound systems at my bars, and I am very, very happy. I can't recommend these guys highly enough - in fact I have recommended them to a load of other bar owners, who have also given them business and they are also now very, very happy. Can't say much more than that, really!

Adrian and the team recently installed a new PA at Prairie Schooner Taphouse, in Urmston. Adrian listened to our needs and then made recommendations. They did a thoroughly professional job, spent a long time balancing the sound and left the place clean and tidy. We are very happy with our new system.

Hollowsphere supplied a great PA system for our party. Impressed with the friendly and professional service. The equipment supplied was great and Adrian took time to get the system sounding good on setup. Highly Recommended !

I needed a PA setup for a friends wedding. Adrian was incredibly helpful and got us setup with high quality kit that sounded great on the big day. He was very responsive and flexible with our requirements. I'd thoroughly recommend using Hollowsphere and will be using them again myself in the future.
