'Flexibility is the key to the Exigy approach, we find ways to do what the client wants, we are creating a range of core products but expect to have to make custom solutions wherever they provide the best results. Right now we have access to the best driver and electronic technologies available, along with the experience to chose and to design a total solution for a client. In the future, we will be introducing proprietary technology that will expand the palette of possibility'. Matt DobsonFounder of Exigy Limited, October 2003Exigy is a new company, formed with the simple goal of delivering the best monitoring solutions possible.

Amongst the companies installations is a new 6 room post-production facility being built by Grand Central Studios in London's media hub Soho. Grand Central specialises in audio post production for cinema and TV commercials. Its reputation for excellence has earned it a blue chip client roster that includes Nike, Vodafone and many of the world's top ad agencies.
Ivor Taylor, co-owner of Grand central says 'At Grand Central, we have always been passionate about monitoring, which is why we have chosen Matt Dobson's new company, Exigy, for this project. Our relationship with Matt goes way back: he was involved in specifiying, designing and setting up the monitors in our existing studios and we have always been very impressed by his technical expertise and innovative approach to problem solving. All our studios have world-class acoustic environments and the new facility will maintain these high standards. We believe that the entire chain is important - acoustics, monitoring and the skill of our engineers. Larger rooms demand more powerful speakers and require levels to be controlled very carefully. In our opinion, Matt is the only person we can trust with a monitoring project of this importance and magnitude.'
Other recently completed projects include a fully concealed 5.1 monitoring system for the Shoe Factory, a new production suite built for renowned composers Nick Gilpin and Martin Koch.
