London, U.K. (July 31, 2025)—U.K. sound specialist Tall Audio has upgraded the 32-fader SSL System T S300 console in the company’s Sound Mobile 2 immersive production unit.

Founded by sound supervisors Alex Wrigglesworth and Paul Stadden in 2010, Tall Audio works on a range of productions including The Martin Lewis Money Show, Springwatch for the BBC, film premieres and remote and in-person motorsport events for TNT Sports. The company also works with high-end broadcast and OTT music clients, including Amazon and Apple Music.

It means we have to work closely with them to meet their needs and there is always a lot going on at these events.
