Most packages include speakers, a mixer, a wired or wireless microphone, all the connecting cables and stands. Power extensions are provided on request.

It depends on guest numbers and the venue. As a rule of thumb: up to 50 guests needs a compact system; 50–150 guests needs a medium system with two mains and a sub; 150+ or outdoor events need a larger system with added subwoofers, usually designed for the event.

Yes. We supply the right cables (mini-jack, USB-C or Lightning) or a Bluetooth adapter so any modern device can connect to the system.

Yes — handheld, lapel and headset radio mics. Their reliable range is typically 30–50 metres, depending on line of sight and local interference.

Yes. Our speakers are fine outside, but some equipment must be fully protected from rain, direct sun and extreme heat under a waterproof marquee, gazebo or stage cover.

Yes. We offer full delivery, professional set-up, sound checking and collection after the event. Wet hire (with a technician) and dry hire (self-collection) are both available.

Yes — dry hire can be collected from our Bournemouth warehouse. You will need a suitable vehicle, valid photo ID and proof of address dated within the last 3 months that matches the booking name.

A standard small-to-medium PA takes roughly 30–45 minutes to set up and sound check. Larger band or festival rigs can take several hours.

Delivery is priced on the distance from our warehouse to your venue and the time of day — late-night or early-morning collections may cost more.

Every hire comes with our technical support line until 22:30. If we cannot fix it over the phone, we send a technician with replacement equipment.

Not for background music or simple speeches — we will show you how to use the system. For live bands, festivals or complex corporate events we strongly recommend one of our sound engineers.

Book through the website or by phone. We take a deposit (typically 25–50%) to secure the date, with the balance due before or on the day of delivery.

No. Instead we ask you to sign a rental agreement accepting our terms and conditions.

Cancellations more than 14 days before the event usually receive a full refund of the balance (except during the summer months). Cancellations within 48–72 hours of the event are generally charged at the full hire rate.

Yes. We hold comprehensive Public Liability Insurance and all our electrical equipment is regularly PAT tested. Certificates are available on request.

Yes. We supply and install speaker systems into venues and commercial buildings, and sell specialist hi-fi and studio audio too.

Call us or send a message. We usually start with a phone conversation, then visit to look at the room’s acoustics, layout, power and what you want from the system before giving an itemised quote.

Yes. A proper installation covers safe wiring, network set-up, DSP configuration and structural or ceiling mounting — including fire hoods where UK Building Regulations require them.
