Sound System

What to consider when hiring an audio system

Whether you’re hosting an intimate get-together for your clients or taking part in a major outdoor event, the right audio system hire can make a massive difference. Here’s how to go about choosing the sound system hire option that’s right for your needs.

Where are you using the audio system? 

The most basic consideration when comparing PA system hire is whether they’re going to be used indoors or outdoors. For outdoor events, more powerful speakers and more robust, weather-resistant equipment will be necessary. 

How big is the room or event? 

The acoustics in a small room can be dramatically different from those inside a marquee with fabric walls, so you’ll need to take this into account when deciding on the most appropriate audio system hire option for your needs. 

Will you need to include speaker hire?

Nothing is more frustrating for an audience than having to strain their ears to hear what a presenter is saying. Aside from detracting from your presentation or speech, poor quality audio also does nothing for the nerves of an anxious public speaker! Luckily, we have good quality speakers available to satisfy every requirement, so you can focus on delivering a memorable presentation. 

What are you going to be playing through the audio system? 

Finally, the type of audio you’ll be playing needs to be taken into consideration. ‘For example, If you’re giving a talk where you encourage audience participation, you’ll need to make sure there are microphones within easy reach. If you’re only going to be playing music or making announcements, on the other hand, then a simple PA amp and speakers will likely be sufficient. If you’re unsure about any aspect of audio system hire, then please reach out and we’ll be happy to offer guidance!
