Dolby Atmos installation & commissioning
“ I had the pleasure of working with Ben Weatherill on the development and installation of our new Dolby Atmos system in our Ellen Terry Building.
Ben was at the core of the project, providing expert advice on speaker placement, technology choices, and overall system design. He led the setup and testing of the Atmos system with exceptional skill, achieving a flawless and highly efficient installation.
His deep technical knowledge, professionalism, and problem-solving ability were evident throughout, and the results speak for themselves. I have no hesitation in recommending Ben for any audio network development or immersive sound projects. ”

Custom Gaming PC Build & Support
“ Working with South Loop Studios to build my custom gaming PC was a great experience from start to finish. From the first conversation, it was clear how knowledgeable and genuinely invested Ben was in helping me get the right build for my needs and budget.
One of the highlights was building the PC alongside him, a hands-on, enjoyable process that left me with a powerful machine and a far better understanding of how it all works.
After the build, I had a couple of software issues with Windows, and the support I received was outstanding: quick, patient, and well beyond expectations. I’m really pleased with the PC we built and with the level of service throughout. I’d happily return to South Loop Studios for future tech projects and would recommend them to anyone looking for a personal, well-informed approach. ”
