Education

With our extensive and ongoing experience in the professional audio and video industries, BIG BEAR SOUND stands out as a leading provider for teachers and academic institutions. We are dedicated to training the next generation of producers, engineers, artists, film-makers, musicians, journalists, presenters, and DJs.

We offer educational discounts on a wide range of software, including Avid, Sibelius, Adobe, Waves, Sonnox, MOTU, Steinberg, and VSL, among others. These discounts are available both as single-user options for students and teachers, and as multi-user licensing for classrooms, labs, and larger-scale environments. There are also savings available on many hardware products, and in any case, we will always do our best to help our education customers to get the most from their budgets. For multi-user computer labs, we can supply, configure and deploy any number of computers to your specification, along with solutions for both local and centralised storage and backup, networking, software licensing and management, and security solutions (both hardware and software).

When it comes to 'hands-on' college equipment – such as studios, PA equipment, field recording and camera equipment – we always prioritise industry-standard gear. Our recommendations are designed to prepare students for the equipment they are likely to encounter in the workplace, while ensuring that it is robust enough to withstand constant use, even by untrained operators.

At BIG BEAR SOUND, we don't just sell products, we provide comprehensive support services. We offer warranty and technical support for all our products, and are always ready to assist with any out-of-warranty repairs. Additionally, we provide contracted regular maintenance and service to several educational facilities, ensuring that your equipment is always up-to-date and running smoothly.

Training is also available for teachers and staff on any equipment or system workflows as required.
