PASCE Ltd (Minirig)

Minirig, portable speakers designed and manufactured in Bristol

PASCE Ltd is the British company responsible for the Minirig brand, specialising in portable speakers and subwoofers. The company states it has been building sound systems since 2000 and locates the design and manufacture of its products at its Bristol headquarters in the United Kingdom, where it has been developing its equipment for over a decade.

Range of speakers and accessories

The Minirig online store organises its offering into several product families. The catalogue includes the Minirig 4 series, the Finite Series, the Subwoofer 4 and various packs or bundles, as well as limited editions. The company presents the Minirig 4 as its most powerful small speaker and describes the Subwoofer 4 as a deep bass unit for small spaces. Alongside the speakers, the website sells accessories, in-house produced garments, gift vouchers and an outlet section.

Components and product philosophy

The company maintains that its equipment is built with the best possible quality components and that its technical approach forms part of what it calls British engineering. Minirig also notes that its speakers serve as a canvas for creative collaborations, developed with designers and artists since 2011.

Music, community and collaborations

Beyond hardware, Minirig maintains a line of activity linked to music: it publishes monthly mixes and podcasts available on Soundcloud and organises monthly giveaways. The company presents itself as a community built around music and creativity, and states it collaborates with artists, creative minds and events. Its website includes specific sections for music, news and support.

Customer service and repair

The company highlights that it offers customer service in the United Kingdom with the option to speak to a person rather than an automated system. It also maintains a repair service with which it states it seeks to minimise waste and pollution when a product has problems.

Packaging and materials

Minirig declares an ethical approach in terms of materials: it uses packaging made from recycled or recyclable materials, avoids bubble wrap and uses kraft paper for its stickers. It also incorporates additives into its plastics to facilitate their degradation by microorganisms in landfill.
