Secondary Stages At Festivals

Secondary stages at festivals play a vital role in showcasing emerging talent, niche genres, and intimate performances — all while demanding the same level of audio quality and reliability as the main stage. These setups require robust, flexible, and easy-to-deploy sound systems that can adapt to a range of performance styles and audience sizes, often with quick turnaround times between acts.

At Penguin Media Solutions, we provide professional AV solutions tailored to meet the unique demands of secondary festival stages. Our systems are designed to ensure every performance sounds clear, powerful, and immersive — regardless of the environment.

We supply Martin Audio loudspeakers, renowned for their clarity, punch, and consistent coverage, making them ideal for outdoor or tented stage applications. To fine-tune and optimise performance across different venues, we offer BSS Audio processing, which provides advanced signal routing and control to suit varying acoustic conditions.

Live sound engineers benefit from using Allen & Heath mixing consoles, which combine rugged design with intuitive interfaces, allowing for fast, precise mixing in high-pressure festival settings. For larger, integrated setups, the QSC Q-SYS platform offers centralised control of audio, video, and system management, streamlining operations for stage crews.

Whether you're managing a single side stage or a full network of secondary performance areas, Penguin Media Solutions delivers scalable, reliable, and high-performance AV systems — backed by expert support every step of the way.
