This Wedge03 is awesome! My performances have improved as a direct result of using it. I sing for 3 busy cover bands which means over 200 songs to remember. I could not do it without my Stageprompter.

I purchased my Wedge03 in Feb. I’ve done over 75 shows with it. It’s been hauled around with all my other gear, without a road case no less, it’s been bumped/kicked by dancers, had shots spilled on it, and even had someone fall on it causing it to go tumbling across the dance floor! I was sure it was damaged, but I plugged it back in and went on with the show! …….it has made a huge difference in my level of confidence.

Well, what can I say that hasn’t already be written about the Stagepromter? This is a fantastic piece of kit and a god send.

Gone are the days of the “in the way and unprofessional looking music stand.” Easy to use and the other guys in my band love it as they can all see it and whats up next on the set. Brilliant, and it blends in well with the front wedge monitors. It’s also great using it on an outdoor stage, and it means im not having to chase bits of paper if theres a breeze in the air! I would so recommend this to any singer/band. You need this in your life! Trust me, It’ll be the best purchase you ever make.

There must be many performers like myself who sometimes struggle to remember lyrics on stage and who therefore rely on scraps of paper on a music stand or similar .

There are many problems associated with this , firstly it looks unprofessional as it’s very obvious to the audience that your reading your lyrics , also you have to keep turning pages between or during songs , this is a disruption the flow of the set , I also find that in some venues the dim lighting makes it difficult to read the lyrics , all of these things mean that my { and i would imagine most performers } confidence on stage is diluted and so the performance is not as good as it could be .

Step forward the Stafford stage prompter , this is the perfect solution to all the above problems .

The unit is very well built and from an audience point of view looks like a normal stage wedge monitor ,

the illuminated display is very clear and because it runs from a simple usb key there’s no computer on board….. also turning the pages is very easy using the supplied footswitch .

The unit is water resistant so if you do happen to spill your pint over it you shouldn’t have a problem { other than having just lost your beer }.

All in all when you consider the thousands of pounds you spend on a nicer guitar/keyboard/pa etc to improve your performance the relatively inexpensive stage prompter could be the best money you spent to enhance your gigs ,

How bad did we look before the Stageprompter ? We had a selection of Ipads and old fashioned stands littering the stage. It happened many times that in the heat of the performance a stand would go over with paper everywhere and musicians loosing their place in the song.

We quickly realised that this should not be a cheat or a karaoke excuse, you have to know your words and your musical notes / chords. The Stageprompter is a prompt for when you forget the first line of the third verse.

The two best parts of your product is the ease of use and that there is no computer program to worry about on stage.

I spoke with Paul, the owner and designer of the product as we wanted three Stageprompters to be linked on stage. He custom made a solution for us and did not charge us anything for doing it !!! WOW.

We have been touring around europe with our Stageprompters now for three months and we love them.

Thanks guys at Stageprompter.

I called your ‘office’ this afternoon merely to express my thanks for everything you have done regarding advice and supply of the StagePrompter.

Tim and I will be using this tomorrow and I am sure he will be delighted as I am with the outcome.

I would certainly hope that you can use my comments in a positive way when marketing your product as you deserve to be praised for your foresight.

Just wanted to follow up since my March gig .. we’ve done 5 more performances with it now and I can’t ever imagine going without it. No more stands on stage. Most of the bands on our lineups come with music stand and ipad as their “prompter” but the stand is still in the way. The stagepromter cueprompter is on the ground, facing up and people never even know it’s there. Other bands see it and are in awe. So glad I found this site and more importantly, the product.

….. pretty stylish, like another monitor on stage ………..A great piece of kit for any band.

It’s a must for any musician be them Amateur/Professional. Simple to use, clear to read, no sheets of paper to worry about…….

Outstanding piece of kit, well worth the investment. Used it now in our last 3 gigs and as we use it only for prompting, it has proved invaluable to us. Not one lyric has been missed, even by our elder statesman who usually gets one or two lines mixed up (bless him)! We also use it for key changes and for set lists and reminders of who to thank at the end of the gig.

When I have had to speak to someone at Staffords, Paul Stafford himself has been extremely helpful with emails and personal calls to make sure their customer service is spot on.

Would I recommend them? Absolutely, especially now that I have seen so many pro artists using these.

I currently sing in THREE different bands and whilst I generally have not had many issues in the past with learning lyrics the latest project I committed to has a timescale that could well have proven to be a problem to me so I was on the lookout for a teleprompting system and Stageprompter has been the answer to my prayers.

I first used the telemonitor out on New Years eve with just a couple of new songs i was unsure about and no one except my fellow band members had a clue, usually I would have had a couple of sheets of paper but the words are so small its hardly worth the effort and if i do need to refer to them its just so obvious! Our bassist is as blind as a bat and he even commented that even he could read the lyrics and then said “how professional are we?”

Stageprompter has enabled my next project to hit the ground running far quicker than it would have done without it!

We gigged at the Casino last Friday night. I’ve used my telewedge Stage Prompter at every gig for the last 2 years ( I think that’s how long I’ve had it ). Never has it failed me. I started freaking out when I was getting a message across the screen. Of course as usual it was operator error. I had unplugged the power supply cable to the prompter box the last time I stowed it for transporting! IT WAS RIGHT THEN I REALIZED HOW MUCH I DEPEND ON IT NOW!!! I have 8 flash drives. Around 300 songs. There is no way I can keep all those different songs straight and continue expanding our genre’s and musical library without Stafford’s On Stage Prompter.

One thing I have learned is the more you use it ( your application ) the better you get with it.
Many Thanks!!

The stage prompter is as important to the creative performing artist as a microphone is to a singer or a guitar for a guitarist.

Since taking possession of one of these remarkable instruments it has opened up a world of possibilities.

It has enabled me and my bands (The Alarm / Big Country), to play new material on stage earlier than would normally be expected as we have been able to work in an arrangement or lyric sheet into the subtle screen of the stage prompter (even right up to the last minute before stage time), enabling each member to take a reference point / reminder when needed.

The stage prompter has afforded me greater freedom to invite guest musicians up on to the stage to join in and sing / play songs that they are not so familiar with, but can still perform with confidence as a lyric or chord chart is just a glance away.

As a long established group with a history, we can call up older material (that may get requested from time to time) that just needs a subtle reminder to be able to played by the band, and (as long as you are organised with your memory sticks…), Boom’ there it is…. let’s play!

The stage prompter has set our music free. All bands should have one!!!

Hi Paul, We had last weekend a few gigs where i used the stage-prompter, and i have to say i feel relaxed! it works great!

Thanks a lot! regards, Robert

Got to say a big thanks to all the Guys at Stageprompter. This device is first class and I can not wait to gig live with it. We have been using it in rehearsals now for the weekend and I can not believe how bad we must have looked with music stands at our previous gigs. Rock and Roll !

Hi guys. Wow what a great bit of kit for up on stage. It arrived real quick, 5 days from order to the USA is real good. Great packaging. Used the stageprompter on Saturday night and if was first class. Thanks.

I looked at various systems but yours gives me complete control on stage and that is what I wanted. I have a couple of big gigs coming up and I am looking forward to working with the STAGEPROMPTER

This is a great product, much more professional looking than what we used before. The display is visible no matter what the lighting people are doing, but the whole thing is discreet and a real boost ….. One less thing for the lead singer to worry about…

I ‘gigged’ the stagepropmpter teleprompter for the first time last Saturday and all I can say is it’s absolutely brilliant. I actually found it very easy to create the images and load it up (even with my technophobia!) and of course using it live is a breeze. I hadn’t appreciated what a boost it would give me on stage, it really is a stroke of genius. Everybody was impressed with it, the vocalist in the support band hasn’t stopped talking about it yet!
