London-based pro audio retailer KMR Audio have announced the launch of KMR | Hire, a new service that makes a wide range of high-end studio gear available for short-term rental. The service will provide access to equipment including microphones, outboard processors, converters and interfaces, consoles, summing mixers and control surfaces, as well as a range of synthesizers.
Here’s what KMR have to say about the new venture:
“From listening to our customers, we understand that a lot of professional users occasionally need specific equipment for use in their projects, but cannot justify making a purchase if it’s only going to get limited use. For example, we offer a Neve BCM10/2 sidecar which is a great way to multitrack through multiple 1073 channels. At around £50,000 to buy, that’s a fair chunk of change to factor into your budget, but if you can get all the tracking done in a week it makes a lot more sense to hire. We appreciate there are already well-established hire companies with larger inventories than KMR, so we're focusing on the more boutique, hard-to-find items you may not be able to easily source elsewhere." - Li Daguerre, Sales Director, KMR Audio
Hire rates are charged on a per-day or per-week basis, with the latter charged at a three-day rate. A dedicated section has been added to the KMR Audio website, with a full equipment list and rate card provided along with collection and delivery information. Follow the link below to find out more.
