Speakers Hatchett Sound ROM1 system. Bar speakers are an active 3-way Hatchett Sound design using Dutch Hypex class D plate amplifiers/DSP and high-spec Italian Faital Pro drivers. Main speakers are based on a Troels Gravesen design inspired by large vintage studio monitors and JBL 43-series speakers, using Hypex plate amplifiers, 1000W per side, large handmade passive crossovers with high-end Jantzen Audio components, BMS bass drivers, 18sound mids and tops, and Fostex super tweeters.

Music Staff play records all day from the collective record collection, with album-focused listening when DJs are not playing. DJs are strictly vinyl only.

Policy Dive bar meets listening bar: music-forward and relaxed, with a huge hi-fi listening experience in an informal pub setting.
