Education

With extensive and ongoing experience in professional audio and video, Big Bear Sound is a trusted supplier to teachers and academic institutions. We specialise in delivering reliable, industry-standard solutions that meet the demands of modern education.

When specifying hands-on college equipment, we prioritise professional, real-world tools while ensuring they are robust enough to withstand constant use, even when operated by inexperienced users.

Our recommendations are carefully designed to prepare the next generation of artists, engineers, filmmakers, musicians, journalists, presenters, and producers with the same equipment and workflows they are likely to encounter in the workplace.

We offer educational discounts across a wide range of leading software brands, including Avid, Sibelius, Adobe, Waves, Sonnox, MOTU, Steinberg, VSL, and more. These are available as single-user licences for students and educators, as well as multi-user licensing solutions for classrooms, labs, and large-scale teaching environments. Savings are also available on many hardware products, and we always work closely with our education customers to maximise value and make the most of available budgets.

For multi-user computer labs, we can supply, configure, and deploy systems to your exact specifications. This includes solutions for local and centralised storage and backup, networking, software licensing and management, and comprehensive security—covering both hardware and software.

Beyond product supply, we provide a full range of support services. This includes warranty and technical support for all products, assistance with out-of-warranty repairs, and contracted maintenance programmes for educational facilities, ensuring systems remain current, reliable, and fully operational.

We also offer tailored training for teachers and staff on equipment operation and system workflows, helping ensure confidence, efficiency, and long-term success.
