Formidable Audio

We offer the UK’s largest hire stock of classic, meticulously refurbished Turbosound Flashlight PA system.

Formidable is the UK’s leading specialist provider of classic Turbosound Flashlight point source sound systems and related live audio production equipment and expertise.

Driven by our passion for ‘no compromise’ audio we have brought together the UK’s largest inventory of Flashlight equipment – all renovated and upgraded to ‘better-than-new’ standard.

These are the increasingly rare sound systems used in the ’80s and ’90s by acts such Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Dire Straits, The Cure, Simply Red, Oasis and Robbie Williams to deliver killer live shows.

Major artists chose to tour all over the world with this rig, which was Tony Andrews’ and John Newsham’s last and most revered creation under the Turbosound name before they formed Funktion One.

Unquestionably, Flashlight systems continue to deliver a uniquely pristine and powerful live sound that contributes to a truly incredible live experience for artist and audience alike.
