Apogee

"When you make a 350 mile round trip on your Birthday specifically to purchase a pair of monitors you could've easily purchased online, you know there must have been a good reason... I've been purchasing from Nick and co @ Giraffe Audio since their embryonic stages, and wouldn't dream of procuring pro audio gear from anywhere else on the planet. Top knowledge, unbelievable honesty and prices that compete with anybody."

Nick was my first ever contact when I started into the production world and I was purchasing equipment for the very first time. Even before Giraffe Audio, Nick's advice was just so honest and real I did not feel the need to go anywhere else to purchase new gear. Even when my mum had to ring up one Christmas, he new exactly what she needed to get me! Their showroom is a wonderful place to be and I have spent many hours just chatting and being inspired. I am so happy to have Nick and Matt to hand whenever I get stuck, they have been (and continue to be) an incredibly important part of my music career. Thanks guys!

"I have known Nick for many years now and his customer care, general manner and demeanor are excellent, but moreover his knowledge of computers along with his general "audio" knowledge is, in my mind, unsurpassed!! - he always has time for me and I'm always met with a cheery hello!! I do have a "thing" about customer service and I would happily recommend Nick to anyone for all of the above virtues and finally, for some, he always does me the right deal!!"

"Great depth of knowledge with a real passion for quality, but without any judgement, so you're most likely to get exactly the gear YOU needed. After many years of listening to the opinion of the 'experts' in various music equipment shops, this is a really refreshing change. Add that to an affable attitude & sense of humour and you can see why I wouldn't buy from anyone but Giraffe Audio!"

"The guys at Giraffe Audio really know their stuff. Great service and a fantastic range of stock, including all the latest kit and audio gadgets. Our go to place for Audio equipment in the Midlands."

"Giraffe Audio is the one and only local place I go to buy new equipment and I ensure that I recommend them to others. Nick and Matt offer a great service and are genuinely nice guys who are enthusiastic about the products they sell. They are always keen to ensure they meet your needs as a customer. They offer sound advice and are more than happy to demo the equipment and discuss alternatives to ensure the suitability of a product to your individual workflow. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them and always look forward to visiting the showroom."

"The Giraffe guys have always given me an honest opinion of what would suit my needs. It seems that they really are there to help you achieve what it is you need to, whether it be a home project studio or a large scale commercial production house these guys aren't bound by suppliers to flog you the latest or most expensive gear. They genuinely care that they get it right and what's more if anything goes wrong they are super helpful and provide fast, convenient solutions. "

"Giraffe Audio is the best place for pro audio goodies in Birmingham! Brilliant service. Highly recommended."

"Every Penny iEarn Goes On The Purchase Of Studio Gear - If iEver Get A Hit Record iCan Almost Guarantee I'd Spend All My Royalties On More Studio Gear. iSpend More Hours Researching Potential Purchases Than iDo Recording, Because Every Choice Has A Massive Impact On The Music iCreate - Wrong Choices Are Costly In So Many Ways & Getting Great Advice From Impartial Equipment Retailers Is Invaluable & Too Often, Unfortunately, Very Rare. iFound Giraffe Audio When Armed With A Small Budget - iDecided To Spend A Week Calling & Emailing Studio Equipment Companies Across The UK To Get The Best Deal iCould For The Precious Little Cash That iHad. iHad Already Spent A Few Thousand Pounds With Various Other Equipment Dealers In The Past & To Say iHad Got My Fingers Burned Would Be An Understatement, Buying Gear From Guys iAssumed Knew Better Than Me, Putting My Faith In Them & Their Advice Set Me Back - Creatively & Financially. So Why Did iChoose To Put My Faith & Trust In Giraffe Audio & Why Will iAlways Return To Giraffe Audio As My First Port Of Call? Answer: Money - Honesty - Customer Service - Communication - Competitive Pricing - Knowledge & Respect ✖"

Recently purchased a Teenage Engineering Synth from the guys at Giraffe Audio for my daughter, service has been absolutely amazing, I get the impression they are genuinely interested in music technology and the customer first. Matt went through everything in detail even before we purchased and also organised free postage!! Thanks Andy B

Giraffe Audio are the ultimate music tech nerds with the added bonus of personality, approachability and damn good coffee. The guys have been giving me honest, sound advise from my budget restricted secondary music teacher past to my international A Cappella touring present. They have a relaxed, non pushy approach in a bright premises with a decent sofa (very female performer friendly) What they don’t know about music tech is probably not worth knowing :)

Great service and knowledge base from Giraffe Audio, been to a great Ableton workshop at the showroom.

'The word recommendation doesn't seem strong enough. I've know Nick for around 15 years, from my early forays as a young enthusiast through to working professionally in the field and I frankly wouldn't go anywhere else. As a firm supporter of 'ethically run businesses' Nick and Matt have managed to strike the perfect balance of unsurpassable, up to the mark product knowledge and an incredibly patient and attentive advisory service. The definition of tailored...they have taken personal interest and provided superb support in my own studio business and ensured that all equipment purchases have been 'keepers'! If you're just after a quick buy, then go online...if you're after lifelong support to your music tech needs, to help you avoid those unnecessary incremental purchases that inevitably get replaced, and to help nurture your musical future, then Giraffe is your only port of call...'

Totally agree with all the 5 star rated testimonials for Giraffe Audio. From my initial contact with them (Matt) to purchase the service was excellent. I was particularly impressed with the speed of delivery - less than 12 hours from purchase to delivery!!! - can't fault them at all. I would definately recommend them and will use them again in future. Thank you to all at Giraffe Audio and in particular Matt :)

I have been a customer of Nick's both for my personal and work use for over 10 years. Nick has been a very fair and non bias salesman throughout that time period. From introducing me to fruityloops (FL Studio to you young bucks) right up to this present day. This professionalism and quality of service has continued and has been taken onboard by whole staff team at Giraffe Audio. Giraffe audio is the ideal store to get a real hands on feel of the products and in a true to life studio setting. Sound deals Sound advice Sound good?? Giraffe Audio is the place for you

"Not only experts in pro-audio but genuine and down to earth Brummies. I have gained more understanding of and insight into audio equipment through these guys than any youtube video, online review or other music retailer. I've only ever had honest and open opinions from Nick and Matt, they really want your studio to be better and not just to sell you stuff."

"Giraffe Audio, head and neck above the rest. Nick and Matt as well as being great guys, knowledgeable on many things audio, incredibly helpful, hard working and funny... Also serve great coffee while you hang out at their shop looking in awe at all the great gear they sell and have out on demo. When Birmingham's pro audio shops all disappeared, Giraffe Audio was like a Phoenix rising from the flames and I hope they have many many more years of bringing top notch gear and advice in them yet. It's a pleasure to know these fellas. If you're undecided on visiting them just do it, I swear you'll be happy you did."

"Nick and Matt are the ultimate go-to guys for anything pro-audio. Their knowledge is extensive and they always provide solutions to suit any budget. They always know everything about the latest developments in the music production world which makes them invaluable to producers like myself. They're approachable, friendly, ultra positive and have that can-do attitude. "

"These guys are so ridiculously clued up on stuff and really chilled with it. you can geek out and kick back with them in their office that is just a music producers wet dream. and if you never bought a single item of musical equipment before, it wouldn't even matter, because they're really nice too."

Amazing shop. Fantastic help and advice from the two lads. So recommended!! Finally a shop and set of lads that know what they are talking about and are happy to share their knowledge!! Looking forward to catching up with these guys again!! I want to buy their whole shop!! Take care lads!! Anton

"Having known the guys from Giraffe for years, I can vouch how trustworthy, genuine and helpful they are. Always ready with advice, always given with a sense that they're not overselling to make ridiculous cash out of you. They are intent on getting the right product for the right task for you. They have been boundless help to me and my venue, with the larger ticket items, and the smaller consumables. After the way we've been by other 'professional' audio sales places in the Midlands, it's guaranteed we'll return for more business with Giraffe. It's a shame that they don't sell DJ related equipment , but I can fully understand their reasons. "

"These guys are always super helpful, I have been buying equipment from them for years and I am never disappointed. The shop is a cool place to go try and test things out before you buy or to just talk gear!"

"The level of service I have received from Matt and Nick at Giraffe Audio has been nothing short of excellent. They always listen to any problems and provide effective solutions that work every time. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for the best pro audio gear available on the market today."
