Purchasing

Ideally, we would provide the hardware, the software, installed, configured and tested, and one day's installation and training. The hardware we supply is always at cost - we are keen to pass on any savings we can negotiate with suppliers. Although it is possible for individual studios to source their own hardware, we recommend that we supply it. This enables us to bench test Sound Box with the selected hardware and therefore ensure compatibility.
