BITS & PIECES was formed in 1986 by Simon Kahn, a Chartered
Engineer with 20 years experience in broadcasting and performance
engineering and operations at the highest level.
Activities are now divided between recording and publishing
sound effects, and consultancy and specialist engineering in
Broadcast and Theatre audio and acoustics.
Projects have ranged from simple advice for home studio acoustics
to complete installation contracts, such as the BBC Radio Theatre
technical facilities including editing channel and assisted
reverberation system. We also have experience of critical
timetable projects, such as the complete refurbishment of the
stage management control systems for the two main theatres at the
National Theatre's South Bank complex without the loss of any
performances.
We believe that projects should be designed to support users
under pressure, not just to meet specifications. Programmes and
productions often make demands on the facilities that were not
envisaged at the outset of the project. This is not just a matter
of delivering 'on time and on budget'. The key to being able to
offer practical solutions to creative requirements lies in
understanding both the needs of the user, and the possibilities
of technical equipment or acoustic environment, whatever the
scale of the project. Too often, the users know what they wish to
achieve, but are unsure of the technical details required for a
fully functioning system, whilst Engineers and sales staff know
the equipment, but do not understand the specific needs of
theatre and radio users. BITS & PIECES can bridge this gap
and convert a requirement into a fully functional system.
Services offered include
More information will follow, but for now you can look at a
list of past projects
Where a complete package, or a design & build solution is
required, we can assemble a team of specialists to offer a
complete 'one-stop' service. We regularly work with leading
contractors and consultants but retain our independence so that
we can always offer the solution that is in the client's best
interests. Where all or part of a project is outside our scope,
we will be happy to recommend other specialists. BITS &
PIECES expertise and experience can benefit any stage of a
project, including remedial work, but the greatest benefit is
usually obtained by involvement at an early stage.
