World first Free and Open online audio hire booking system

CALM Theatre Sounds announces the “Sound Designer” online app that allows anyone to freely tailor an audio hire system and receive instant quotations for extended hires. By allowing users to combine multiple units into a single System they reduce the overheads associated with other companies that treat large hires as a number of small hires each associated with its own overhead charges.showing left hand column of draggable speaker names; central empty bin column; right hand column headed M4M Tour System with draggable unit names viz. Yamaha QL1, Yamaha RIO1608, Qlab Playback, EM Acoustics DQ6D

The “Sound Designer” app also allows users to Book Systems for different phases of a Production and automatically calculates extended hire discounts.

CALM Theatre Sounds have adopted a free and open software model encouraging users to interact as Co-Developers. The app is now in open beta release and users are asked to feedback ideas for improvement, bugs and feature wishlists.
