Audio / Control / R&D
Research / Field Engineering / Education
Event Tech Research is a London-based R&D and education studio focused on modern event audio, networking, and control. We prototype practical tools for technicians and production teams, then turn the learning into documentation, training, and open-architecture design.
Overview
We explore how networked audio, OSC, and open protocols can simplify real-world workflows for engineers in live events, theatre, and broadcast, especially when reliability, speed, and clarity matter most.
Principles
Our approach is grounded in real deployments, where RF noise is high, time is short, and the show still has to go on.
Capabilities
Focused technical support for teams building reliable show systems.
Transport, monitoring, and low-latency engineering.
OSC, scene workflows, and universal control concepts.
VLANs, PoE, and resilient edge deployments.
Software
Software work focuses on practical utilities for engineers: status dashboards, OSC control helpers, routing documentation, and lightweight tools that make complex show systems easier to operate.
Hardware
Hardware work includes field-ready audio endpoints, RF links, antenna choices, and appliance designs for live systems that have to keep working while the geometry, crowd, and RF environment keep changing.
Featured project
Hedera is designed to link moving floats along a parade route. It carries uncompressed stereo audio with minimal latency, plus a service channel for engineering coordination.
