Outside Broadcast Unit

Versatile Event Coverage

The Outside Broadcast unit and tenders were coach-built in 2018 by Spectra with the aim of providing a high-quality and comfortable environment whilst also offering a cost-effective solution to service work in the small-mid OB market. Since then, the unit has successfully broadcast over 500 hours of live programmes, as well as recording a substantial number of non-live events.
The unit’s versatility enables its usage on all sorts of event coverage - from sport to music and also AV solutions for conferences. Our team has extensive experience of delivering high quality broadcasts and working with a wide range of clients.
We have partnered up with Ethosaudio.co.uk to provide a world-class service for contracts that demand a more complex sound provision. We’d be delighted to discuss the unit with you in more depth and to explore how we could help you with your requirements.
