STLS designs and installs technical systems for theatres, auditoriums and performance spaces across the UK. From a lighting control upgrade to a complete new sound and video system, we plan the work around the venue, programme and technical team.
Our installation experience covers stage lighting, audio, projection, communications, hearing loops, rigging and control. We can support the full project or work on one technical discipline.
Theatre servicing, inspections and practical upgrades
Regular servicing helps prevent faults from disrupting rehearsals or performances. STLS can inspect and maintain stage lighting, sound, video and related technical equipment, identify problems and recommend sensible repairs or replacement.
For upgrades, we assess existing power, data, dimming, cabling and equipment before planning the work. Where practical, systems can be improved in stages to fit the venue schedule and budget.
A complete technical system for your performance space
We install loudspeakers, mixing, microphones, stage monitoring, fixtures, consoles, dimming, data distribution, projection, displays, communications and integrated controls. Our team can coordinate with venue staff, consultants, builders and electrical contractors throughout the project.
Based near London and Surrey, STLS works with theatres nationwide. Training and ongoing service and maintenance are available after handover.
