Sonic Labs LLP

From stage to software.

We're the partnership behind Sonic Sound, UnitOps and Sonic EMS. We run live sound and lighting, and we build the software that hire companies and venues use to run theirs.

What we do

Three businesses, one team.

Each business has its own name and its own customers. They share the same people, the same kit and the same way of working.

Stage

Sonic Sound

Live sound and lighting hire and production for gigs, festivals, venues and events. Kit, crew and a team who've run shows for years.

Book kit and crew

Hire

UnitOps

Hire and rental management software for small UK hire firms: bookings, kit, availability and check-in and check-out. We run Sonic Sound on it.

Software

Sonic EMS

Venue and event management software for arts venues, built to bring bookings, spaces and event planning into one place.

How it fits together

We use what we build.

Sonic Sound runs its hire operation on UnitOps, and the venues we work with help shape Sonic EMS. Every feature starts with a real problem on a real job.

01

Stage

We run the shows: sound, lighting and crew, from village halls to festival stages.

02

Hire

We manage our own kit, bookings and logistics, so we know what a hire business needs day to day.

03

Software

We turn that experience into tools other hire companies and venues can use.
