What sound equipment specifically do I need to hire?

Usually the most popular equipment for hire are our Speakers, microphones and lighting but this depends on the occasion and requirements of your event.

We have a wide range of PA systems suitable for all occasions, and extra speakers can be added as required. All of our PA systems come with a corded or wireless microphone, depending on your preference.

How many speakers will I need?

The number of speakers you’ll need will vary depending on the size and layout of your room. It is recommended that your speakers are positioned in a central location and elevated, as this ensures the best sound quality to be able to project.

If you’re hosting a party or concert event where the music has deep bass or the dance floor and acoustics are important, it’s strongly recommended that you also add a subwoofer to your speaker.

For most standard functions and events, our DIY party sound pack comes with two speakers and stands. With this you can plug in your laptop, phone or portable device and play your own music and sound.

Do I need to have access to electricity or power?
