Jules Jones - Sound Design Engineer

“Sound reinforcement should complement a show, thereby enhancing the experience of the audience.”

Jules Jones has been engineering at the highest level for over ten years. Jules believes that a sound system should be unobtrusive and transparent; focusing the audiences’ attention on the stage, whether it is a corporate event, a concert for 20,000 people or the intimacy and passion of theatre.

In the last ten years Jules has engineered & designed various high profile projects, encompassing corporate & political conferences, charity events and award ceremonies including, the BBC Radio 3 Jazz awards & BBC 4’s No Direction Home – Bob Dylan tribute concert as well as major events for the Make A Wish Foundation and the British Olympic Association. He has also provided studio floor sound for the BBC and Channel 4, and worked as FOH or monitor engineer for a number of artists including: Sting, Bobby McFerrin, Booker T & the MG’s, Little Richard, the London Symphony Orchestra, Courtney Pine, Stuart Copeland & the film composer Michael Nyman.
