Audio Hire for Parties & Celebrations

The right sound system depends on the size of your venue, the number of guests and how important music is to the celebration. A gathering with background music has different requirements from a birthday or engagement party with a busy dance floor.

For Smaller Parties & Background Music

For smaller indoor gatherings, birthdays and celebrations where you mainly want clear music at a comfortable level, the 2 × 1000 Watt Speaker Package is a good place to start.

The two-speaker setup gives you better coverage across the room and works well for playlists, background music and general party sound.

For Larger Parties & Louder Music

If you're expecting more guests, using a larger venue or want more headroom for dancing and louder music, consider the 2 × 1500 Watt 15" Speaker Package.

This two-speaker package provides more output for birthdays, engagements, anniversaries and other celebrations where music is an important part of the night.

For Dance Floors & Bass-Heavy Music

For parties where dancing and bass-heavy music are central to the night, the 5600W EV Speaker and Subwoofer Package provides a more substantial system with dedicated low-frequency reinforcement.

The package includes two 15-inch powered speakers and two 18-inch subwoofers, giving you a complete speaker and subwoofer setup for a higher-energy celebration.

If you're putting together your own system rather than choosing the complete package, we recommend using at least two subwoofers for more balanced low-frequency coverage across the dance floor.

Adding Speeches or Announcements?

If someone will be making speeches, welcoming guests, running games or making announcements, add a microphone to your sound system.

The Shure PGA48 Microphone is a straightforward wired option for speeches and announcements. If you need the freedom to move around the room, choose the Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Hand Held Microphone System.

Connecting Your Music & Microphones

If you need to combine a microphone with music or other audio sources, the Yamaha MG06 Audio Mixer provides a simple way to manage multiple inputs.

Want to Add Something Extra?

For birthdays, engagements and other celebrations, you can also add our 360 Photo Booth or Mirror Ball to give guests something extra to enjoy.

Not Sure Which Setup to Choose?

Tell us where your party is being held, approximately how many people are coming and whether you're planning background music, speeches or a dance floor. We'll help you work out which equipment makes sense.

Audio Hire for Weddings

Wedding audio often needs to do several different jobs during the day. You may need clear sound for the ceremony, microphones for speeches, background music during the reception and a more powerful system when it's time for dancing.

The best setup depends on which parts of your wedding need audio, your venue, guest numbers and whether you're using a DJ, live musicians or your own music.

For Wedding Ceremonies

For ceremony music, vows and other spoken parts of the ceremony, the 2 × 1000 Watt Speaker Package is a good place to start.

Using two speakers helps provide more even coverage across your ceremony area, so guests aren't relying on sound coming from one location.

If vows, readings or the celebrant need amplification, add a microphone. The Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Hand Held Microphone System gives the person speaking freedom to move without being connected to the sound system by a microphone cable.

For Wedding Speeches & Receptions

For receptions where you need music as well as clear sound for speeches and announcements, the 2 × 1500 Watt 15" Speaker Package provides a larger two-speaker system with additional output and headroom.

For speeches, the Shure PGA48 Microphone is a straightforward wired option. If the microphone needs to be passed between the MC, wedding party and guests, the Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Hand Held Microphone System provides greater freedom around the room.

For the Dance Floor

If dancing is an important part of your reception, particularly with a DJ or bass-heavy music, consider the 5600W EV Speaker and Subwoofer Package.

This combines two 15-inch powered speakers with two 18-inch subwoofers, providing dedicated low-frequency reinforcement for a more substantial dance-floor system.

If you're building your own wedding sound system rather than hiring the complete package, we recommend at least two subwoofers when low-frequency reinforcement is required. Using a pair provides more balanced bass coverage across the dance floor.

Need to Connect Several Audio Sources?

Wedding receptions can involve background music, speeches, a laptop or phone, microphones and other audio sources at different times.

The Yamaha MG06 Audio Mixer provides up to two microphone inputs and additional line inputs, making it useful when several sources need to connect to the same sound system.

Add a 360 Photo Booth

If you'd like an additional guest experience alongside the audio setup, our 360 Photo Booth Hire is available for weddings across Adelaide, with an attendant and instant digital sharing included.

Not Sure What You Need for Your Wedding?

Tell us where your wedding is being held, approximately how many guests you're expecting and which parts of the day need audio — ceremony, speeches, reception music, dancing or a combination of these.

We'll help you work out a suitable setup without expecting you to know which equipment you need beforehand.

Audio Hire for Corporate Events & Conferences

For conferences, meetings, seminars, launches and corporate functions, the priority is usually simple: everyone in the room needs to hear clearly.

The equipment you need depends on your venue and audience size, but also on the format of your event. A single presentation may need only a pair of speakers and a microphone, while an MC, multiple presenters or a panel discussion can require additional microphones and audio inputs.

For Presentations, Meetings & Smaller Corporate Events

For presentations, meetings, seminars and other functions where speech is the main focus, the 2 × 1000 Watt Speaker Package provides a practical two-speaker setup.

Using two speakers helps distribute speech and presentation audio more evenly through the room rather than relying on sound from a single position.

Add the Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Hand Held Microphone System when your presenter or MC needs the freedom to move around the room.

For Larger Conferences & Corporate Functions

For a larger room or audience, the 2 × 1500 Watt 15" Speaker Package provides greater output and headroom while retaining a two-speaker setup for broader coverage.

The appropriate system depends on the size and layout of the venue, so contact us if you're unsure whether the smaller or larger speaker package is the better choice.

Multiple Presenters or Audio Sources

If your program includes a microphone plus presentation audio, background music or another source, the Yamaha MG06 Audio Mixer provides a simple way to bring them together.

It supports up to two microphone inputs and additional line-level sources, making it particularly useful for presentations, an MC plus another speaker, or events where both speech and playback audio need to use the same sound system.

If your conference or panel requires more simultaneous microphones or inputs than the MG06 can accommodate, contact us before booking so we can help you work out a suitable setup.

Need a Lectern?

For keynote speakers, formal presentations, conferences, awards and ceremonies, the Professional Adjustable Lectern provides a dedicated position for notes, documents or presentation material.

Its adjustable height and foldable design make it suitable for different presenters and straightforward to incorporate into a temporary corporate setup.

Microphones for Speakers, MCs & Presenters

For a fixed speaking position, the Shure PGA48 Microphone provides a straightforward wired option.

For an MC, presenter or speaker who needs to move around the room, use the Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Hand Held Microphone System.

A Microphone Stand can also be added when the microphone needs to remain in a fixed position while leaving the presenter's hands free.

Planning a Panel Discussion?

Panel discussions require a little more planning because the number of people speaking determines how many microphones and mixer inputs you will need.

Before booking, count the MC or moderator as well as every panellist who will require a microphone. If several people need to speak during the session, tell us about your conference and we'll help you work out the microphone, mixer and speaker requirements.

Not Sure What Your Corporate Event Needs?

Send us your venue, approximate audience size and a simple running order. Let us know whether you'll have an MC, presentations, speeches, panel discussions, background music or other audio sources.

You don't need to work out the equipment yourself. We'll help you choose a suitable setup for your program.

Get Help Choosing Your Corporate Audio

Audio Hire for Schools & Community Events

School and community events can range from a presentation in a hall to announcements across an oval. The right setup depends on where the event is being held, how many people need to hear and whether you need speech, music or both.

Assemblies, Awards & Presentations

For assemblies, award ceremonies, graduations and presentations, the 2 × 1000 Watt Speaker Package provides a practical two-speaker setup for speech, announcements and music.

For a presenter, teacher or MC who needs to move around, add the Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Hand Held Microphone System.

If the speaker will remain in one position, the Shure PGA48 Microphone provides a straightforward wired option for clear speech and announcements.

Sports Days & Outdoor Events

Sports days, athletics carnivals and other outdoor events can be more demanding because sound needs to reach people across a larger area.

The 2 × 1000 Watt Speaker Package can suit smaller areas, while the 2 × 1500 Watt 15" Speaker Package provides greater output and headroom when you need to cover a larger gathering.

A Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Hand Held Microphone System is useful for race commentary, announcements, presentations and MC duties where freedom of movement is important.

School Formals & Celebrations

If you're organising a school formal, graduation celebration or other music-focused function, your requirements will be different from an assembly or sports day.

For music and dancing, the 5600W EV Speaker and Subwoofer Package combines two powered speakers with two 18-inch subwoofers for a more substantial sound system.

If you're assembling your own system and require subwoofers, we recommend at least two for more balanced low-frequency coverage across the space.

Managing Music & Microphones

If you need to combine announcements or speeches with music from a laptop, phone or another source, the Yamaha MG06 Audio Mixer provides a simple way to manage multiple audio inputs.

A Microphone Stand can also be useful for assemblies, performances, presentations and other situations where a microphone needs to remain in a fixed position.

Community Events, Fundraisers & Ceremonies

For community gatherings, fundraisers, presentations, ceremonies and similar occasions, start by considering how many people need to hear, whether you're indoors or outdoors and whether the system will be used primarily for speech, music or both.

For formal presentations, the Professional Adjustable Lectern can provide a dedicated position for notes, scripts or presentation material.

Need Sound Across a Large Outdoor Area?

Outdoor ovals and large community spaces can require more planning than simply choosing a more powerful speaker package. The shape of the area, where the audience will be positioned and where announcements need to be heard all affect the setup.

Tell us the approximate size of the area, expected attendance and what the PA system needs to do, and we'll help you work out a suitable arrangement.

Get Help Choosing Your School or Community Audio

Audio Hire for DJs & Dance Events

For DJ sets, dance parties and music-focused events, the sound system needs enough output for the venue as well as suitable low-frequency reinforcement for the dance floor.

Your setup will depend on the size of the space, the number of guests and whether you're bringing your own DJ equipment or need a controller as part of the hire.

Speakers & Subwoofers for the Dance Floor

For smaller DJ setups where you don't require dedicated subwoofers, the 2 × 1500 Watt 15" Speaker Package provides a two-speaker system suitable for music playback and dancing.

For a more substantial dance-floor system with dedicated bass, choose the 5600W EV Speaker and Subwoofer Package.

This package combines two powered speakers with two 18-inch subwoofers, giving DJs a complete speaker and subwoofer setup for higher-energy music.

If you're putting together your own system and adding subwoofers separately, we recommend using at least two subwoofers for more balanced low-frequency coverage across the dance floor.

Need a DJ Controller?

The Rane One Mk 2 Pro DJ Controller is available for DJs who need a professional controller as part of their setup.

It features two 7-inch motorised platters, performance controls and professional audio connections, and comes in a protective flight case with the necessary USB and power cables.

If you already have your own controller, decks or other DJ equipment, you can simply hire the speakers and other equipment you need.

Positioning Your Speakers

Correct speaker placement helps distribute sound across the dance floor and surrounding area.

Speaker Tripods are available when your speakers need to be elevated for better coverage. If you're using the complete speaker and subwoofer package, check the product listing first to see which stands or poles are already included before adding extras.

Need a Microphone?

If the DJ will be making announcements or acting as MC, add a microphone to the setup.

The Shure SM58 Microphone is a professional vocal microphone suitable for DJs, performers and live use.

For greater freedom around the venue, the Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Hand Held Microphone System provides a wireless alternative.

Add a Classic Dance-Floor Effect

The Mirror Ball package includes a 30 cm mirror ball, battery-powered motor and LED pin spot light, making it an easy addition to parties, school formals, weddings and other dance events.

Not Sure Which DJ Setup You Need?

Tell us your venue, approximate guest numbers, whether the function is indoors or outdoors and what DJ equipment you're bringing with you.

We'll help you work out which speakers, subwoofers and other equipment you need without making you hire equipment you already have.

Audio Hire for Live Music & Performances

Live music can require more than simply connecting a phone or laptop to a pair of speakers. The right setup depends on the performers, instruments, venue, audience size and how many separate microphones or audio sources need to be amplified.

For a solo singer, acoustic performer or simple duo, a compact PA can be straightforward. Bands and performances with several vocalists or instruments may need additional inputs, microphones and technical support.

For Solo Performers & Acoustic Music

For singers, acoustic performers and other small live performances, the 2 × 1000 Watt Speaker Package provides a practical two-speaker starting point.

For vocals, add the Shure SM58 Microphone, a professional vocal microphone suited to singers and live performance.

A Microphone Stand keeps the microphone in position while leaving the performer's hands free for an instrument.

Mixing Vocals & Instruments

The Yamaha MG06 Audio Mixer is well suited to straightforward live setups where only a small number of inputs are required.

It provides up to two microphone inputs plus additional line inputs, making it useful for a solo musician or simple duo combining vocals, instruments or backing tracks before sending the mixed signal to the PA system.

If your performance requires more than two microphone inputs, contact us before booking rather than trying to fit a larger live setup into a mixer that doesn't have enough channels.

For Larger or Louder Performances

For performances that need more output and headroom, the 2 × 1500 Watt 15" Speaker Package provides a larger two-speaker system.

The appropriate setup depends on the style of music, venue and audience, as well as which instruments are being amplified through the PA.

When the Performance Needs More Bass

For live music where dedicated low-frequency reinforcement is required, the 5600W EV Speaker and Subwoofer Package combines two powered speakers with two 18-inch subwoofers.

If you're building your own system and adding subwoofers separately, we recommend using at least two subwoofers for more balanced low-frequency coverage.

Wireless Vocals & Presenters

If a vocalist, performer or MC needs to move freely around the performance area, the Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Hand Held Microphone System provides a wireless alternative to a conventional wired microphone.

For performers remaining at a fixed position, the wired Shure SM58 is generally the simpler option.

Bringing a Band?

A full band can require considerably more than two mixer inputs. Multiple vocalists, instruments, DI feeds and other sources can quickly turn a simple PA hire into a more involved live sound setup.

Tell us how many performers you have, which instruments need to go through the PA and how many vocal microphones you require. We can help you determine whether the equipment available for online hire is suitable or whether your performance needs a more tailored setup.

Need a Sound Technician?

If you'd prefer someone to handle setup, soundcheck and live audio during the performance, professional sound technician support is available at an additional cost.

Tell us about the performance and the technical requirements when you enquire so we can discuss what support is appropriate.

Not Sure What Your Performance Needs?

Send us your venue, approximate audience size, number of performers, instruments and the number of vocal microphones you expect to use.

You don't need to design the PA system yourself. We'll help you work out what equipment makes sense for the performance.

Audio Hire for Presentations & Public Speaking

For speeches, presentations, ceremonies, lectures and announcements, the main priority is making sure everyone can hear clearly.

A straightforward setup usually consists of two speakers and a suitable microphone. You may also need a mixer if you're combining the microphone with presentation audio, music or another sound source.

A Simple Presentation Setup

For smaller presentations, speeches and ceremonies, the 2 × 1000 Watt Speaker Package provides a practical two-speaker setup.

Using two speakers helps distribute speech more evenly through the audience rather than relying on sound from a single position.

Choose a Microphone

If the speaker will remain in one position, the Shure PGA48 Microphone is a straightforward wired option for speech and announcements.

For presenters, MCs or speakers who need to move around the room, the Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Hand Held Microphone System provides greater freedom.

A Microphone Stand can also be added when you want the microphone to remain in a fixed position while leaving the speaker's hands free.

Need a Lectern?

For conferences, ceremonies, lectures, awards and formal presentations, the Professional Adjustable Lectern provides a dedicated place for notes, scripts, tablets or presentation material.

Its height and top angle can be adjusted for different presenters, and its foldable design makes it suitable for temporary setups in venues, meeting rooms and function spaces.

Playing Presentation Audio or Music?

If you need to combine a microphone with audio from a laptop, phone or another source, the Yamaha MG06 Audio Mixer provides simple control from one place.

It has up to two microphone inputs plus additional line inputs, making it useful for presentations that combine speech with music, video audio or other playback.

For Larger Audiences

If you're presenting to a larger audience or working in a bigger venue, the 2 × 1500 Watt 15" Speaker Package provides greater output and headroom while retaining a two-speaker setup.

Venue layout matters as much as audience numbers, so if you're unsure which speaker package is appropriate, tell us about the space before you book.

Multiple Speakers or a Panel?

If several people need their own microphones, the equipment requirements can change quickly. The Yamaha MG06, for example, accepts a maximum of two microphone inputs.

Tell us how many people will be speaking at the same time and whether you have a moderator, MC or audience questions. We'll help you determine the microphones, mixer and speaker setup you need.

Not Sure What You Need?

Tell us where the presentation is being held, approximately how many people need to hear and whether you'll be using one or more microphones, presentation audio or music.

We'll help you work out a suitable setup without expecting you to know the audio equipment you need beforehand.

Get Help Choosing Your Presentation Audio

If you're looking for something interactive as well as music and audio, our 360 Photo Booth Hire gives guests an experience they can take part in and share.

Rather than taking a conventional still photograph, the booth captures high-definition slow-motion video as the camera rotates around guests standing on the platform.

What's Included?

The standard three-hour 360 Photo Booth package includes the 100 cm rotating platform, a professional on-site attendant, delivery, professional setup, pack-down and collection.

Guests can access their finished videos using a custom event QR code for easy digital sharing.

Weddings, Parties & Celebrations

The 360 Photo Booth works well alongside the other entertainment at wedding receptions, birthdays, engagements and milestone celebrations.

Guests can use the booth throughout the booking while the attendant manages its operation, leaving you free to enjoy the occasion rather than having to operate the equipment yourself.

Corporate Events & Brand Activations

For corporate functions, launches, awards nights, conferences and brand activations, the booth provides an interactive experience that also creates shareable digital content.

Custom event branding is available as an optional upgrade for suitable bookings.

How Much Space Do You Need?

Allow approximately 4 m × 4 m for the 360 Photo Booth.

This provides sufficient space for the rotating platform, guests and attendant to use the booth comfortably and safely. You'll also need to consider the booth location when planning the layout of your venue.

Want Sound as Well?

You can combine the 360 Photo Booth with Audio Hire equipment rather than organising your sound separately.

For background music and general sound, the 2 × 1000 Watt Speaker Package provides a practical two-speaker setup.

For larger celebrations or functions where music needs greater output and headroom, consider the 2 × 1500 Watt 15" Speaker Package.

If you're creating a dance floor and want dedicated low-frequency reinforcement, the 5600W EV Speaker and Subwoofer Package combines two powered speakers with two 18-inch subwoofers.

Microphones and other audio equipment can also be added when you need speeches, announcements or presentations.

Ready to Book?

The 360 Photo Booth is a full-service hire, so you don't need to transport, assemble or operate the booth yourself. We deliver and set it up, provide the attendant throughout your booking, then pack it down and collect it afterwards.
