At Aura Event Services, we’re committed to delivering the highest quality sound for every event we support. As part of our ongoing investment in premium event production equipment, we’re proud to announce the addition of a new d&b Audiotechnik T10 sound system to our rental inventory.
The system includes the d&b T10 loudspeakers paired with B4 cardioid subwoofers, all powered by d&b D20 amplifiers. This latest upgrade reinforces our long-standing partnership with d&b Audiotechnik, a brand renowned worldwide for exceptional audio clarity and reliability. Having used d&b systems for many years, it was an easy decision for us to stay with a trusted manufacturer when expanding our professional sound hire stock.
The T10 loudspeaker offers impressive flexibility, functioning both as a line array element and a point-source speaker. This makes it ideal for a wide range of small to medium-sized events, whether indoors or outdoors — from corporate functions and live music to festivals and community events.
Meanwhile, the B4 cardioid subwoofers bring precise, controlled low-frequency performance. Their cardioid dispersion pattern focuses sound where it’s needed most, significantly reducing unwanted noise spill to surrounding areas — an important advantage for events with local noise restrictions or outdoor venues.
This investment reflects Aura’s ongoing commitment to offering cutting-edge event sound solutions that deliver clarity, consistency, and impact. Whether you’re planning an intimate conference or a large-scale outdoor event, our enhanced d&b Audiotechnik sound system ensures your audience experiences audio exactly as it should be heard.

Aura have now expanded on their range of Prolyte Arc Roof systems by adding a 6m x 4m option to the 8m x 6m already available.
Adding a smaller option to the already popular 8x6 was a natural progression to cater for events where the bigger roof isn't suitable or where budgets are tight. Managing Director Damon Oldacre said 'We didn't think twice about expanding on the Prolyte range as we already stock their truss and the 8x6 roof and we honestly don't think there is a better manufacturer of truss and roofing systems out there, so to go in a different direction now wouldn't have made any sense.'
In addition to the 6x4 roof, Aura have also invested in more of the QSC loudspeaker range which was planned after the initial investment of K8. QSC KW122 and KW181 have been added providing full system capability with a rich and accurate sound.
RKDO Sound & Light has now become Aura Event Services. But why the change?
RKDO Sound & Light began providing event services back in 2008 with sound and lighting services. Recognising the need for diversity to meet demand from clients, staging was soon added to stock with further expansion into backline and support services over the years. This, along with a management change in 2013 left little relevance to the name.
Re-branding to Aura Event Services provides an accurate description of what we do, along with a fresh name.
The phone number and, more importantly, the people remain the same and all e-mails sent to old addresses will continue to be received.
The name isn't the only change though. We're also now using a new computer based system to create quotes and invoices which track every piece of equipment we stock, books staff onto jobs and maintains a track of conversations over quotes, so that all the information on a job is stored in one central place and can easily be referred to. This will enhance both the speed of getting quotes out to you as well as the quality of the service from first enquiry through to job completion.
Aura have recently invested in a quantity of QSC K8 powered speakers. Primarily added for corporate work, these small but impressively versatile speakers can be used for a wide range of events.
Managing Director of Aura, Damon Oldacre said 'For an 8" speaker, they cover an impressive range of frequencies with depth and precision making them an ideal addition to the hire stock. With useful features such as the built in pole tilt enabling the speaker to be angled down without having to add an adaptor onto the speaker stand, they really are incredibly versatile, and being powered, they are completely self contained negating the need for a separate amplifier.'
We were given the opportunity to demo the QSC range with our supplier and the decision was made to invest in stock of K8 with KW122 and KW181 to follow in the next few weeks.
