Liverpool based ADLIB has been on a shopping spree of spectacular proportions recently, which includes a £500K investment in a new L-Acoustics V-DOSC system along with a full D & B monitor rig.

ADLIB Lighting has spent a further £250,000 on improving its stock level of moving heads purchasing 48 Martin 700 fixtures plus 16 Martin 250’s along with 2 Avolites Pearl Experts, 1 High End Systems WholeHog 3 and a High End Road Hog.

Another £250,000 has been sunk into redesigning and developing totally new office spaces and warehousing within their current premises in Speke.

Having the equipment is one thing, but Adlib also realises you are only as good as your crew, which prompted an additional highly valuable investment in the Adlib workforce - bringing Tony Szabo onboard as Toursound Co-ordinator.

Furthermore, four young Technical Apprentices have joined the team to continue Adlib’s ethic of investing in its future.

Says, ADLIB’s Andy Dockerty, “This all reflects the generally increased levels of business over the last two years and ADLIB’s commitment to offering our clients the very best of the available equipment, technology and the great service for which ADLIB is known”.

Adlib joins the V-DOSC network

ADLIB‘s initial V-DOSC purchase includes 32 V-DOSC, 24 SB28 SUBS, 24 dV-DOSC, 4 dV-SUB, 8 ARCS and 32 LA8 Amplified Controllers. Andy Dockerty and co-director Dave Kay – both also accomplished audio engineers in their own right - comment “V-DOSC is recognised as one of the best and most-specified sound systems in the world. Having it onboard means we can provide our clients with wider and better options, and further develop our profile within the industry.”

They add that ADLIB’s engineers (unusually, the company’s full time staff includes a high level of practicing engineers working constantly with a plethora of bands) have travelled the world and used V-DOSC products on many continents. Generally they have all been impressed with the product’s consistency and representation. “V-DOSC is a product that we really believe in, and we’re also looking forward to becoming more involved with the Network Partners”.

ADLIB also offers JBL’s VerTec line array and Nexo sound systems from stock.
