Raindirk's first console was sold to former Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan's Kingsway Studios [ [http://www.lntech.nildram.co.uk/adverts.html Ibid] ] . All products are designed by Cyril Jones.

Whilst not maintaining as high a profile as comptetitores like Solid State Logic, Automated Processes Inc and AMS Neve, Raindirk consoles have been used on artists as diverse as Pavarotti and Max Bygraves.

However, in recent years Raindirk has focussed on high-end live sound applications. A recent development has been the design of high specification DI boxes and microphone pre-amps for use in DAW studios.
