How It Began

In the world of music, every DJ has a unique story to tell, and ours is a tale of curiosity, passion, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. As the driving force behind Restore Audio, we invite you to join us on "The Journey."

Picture a child who couldn't resist taking apart every gadget to explore its inner workings. We craved the magic of understanding how things worked, and the thrill of putting them back together was simply irresistible. The satisfaction of bringing something back to life was a reward like no other.

Hands On

But life had a different plan for us. A job loss, an unexpected turning point, led us to a world of DJ equipment repair. We had always been good at it, having dabbled in the craft during a previous job. The idea of starting Restore Audio was born out of necessity. In our local scene, there was a void, a three-month waiting list for repairs, and a request to drop off your gear and hope for the best. It seemed absurd, and we saw a massive demand that was yet to be met.

Our journey revolves around the art of reviving DJ equipment, with a focus on Pioneer CDJs, DJMs, XDJs, Controllers, Technics 1210 turntables, and Allen & Heath mixers. We're the troubleshooters of cue buttons, jogwheels, and much more.

A New Direction

We may not have awards (yet), but we've breathed new life into CDJs and DJMs that have seen over a decade of action in clubs and relentless student use. Our goal is to offer cost-effective repairs with lightning-fast turnarounds. With over 20 years of electronics experience, our soldering work is of the highest caliber, and our diagnostic skills are swift.

The Future

We serve everyone, from aspiring DJs to seasoned professionals across Bournemouth, Poole, Southampton, and the surrounding areas. We've been there, touring Europe and the UK, so we know how essential it is to have equipment that performs flawlessly. A hiccup during a show can make or break the night.

"The Journey" is about passion, dedication, and the joy of keeping the music alive. Follow us as we take you behind the scenes of Restore Audio, where relaxed playfulness meets an edge of seriousness, and where every repair is a symphony of revival. Stay tuned for more stories from our musical adventure.
