How do you choose a rental sound kit?

Festivals and mass celebrations, contests and sports competitions, presentations, PR-actions, fairs and exhibitions, government meetings and press conferences, weddings and graduations, all events require and imply musical accompaniment or sound and microphone amplification. Today it is convenient and easy to do this without buying expensive equipment. Rental organizations will gladly provide musical equipment for rent, or as it is customary to say in their professional language “sound for rent”.

What is sound rental and how to understand it?
As a rule, to begin with, the required amount of sound is established. This equivalent, measured in kW and directly depends on the volume of your room or territory in the open air, which must be sounded, well, of course, from the number of people expected at the event.

Well, knowing the necessary sound power, you can easily determine what set of sound equipment you need.

In general, to describe all the sound equipment used at various events is quite difficult.

Standard set of sound (and the simplest) as a rule, includes the following:

• • acoustic system is a device for sound reproduction with built-in speakers, or to put it simply speakers, which from the number of speakers in them are divided into single-way, 2-way, 3-, 4-…;

.

• po-as loudspeakers are active, with built-in power amplification (usually used at small events, discos and studio monitors) and passive with out amplification, it is often necessary and the same power amplifier (usually used for large concerts and mass events and the “sound” of large areas);
• mixing console – is an electronic device designed to combine sound signals, there are analog and digital mixing consoles. DJ-pult consists of a smaller number of input channels, the presence of crossfader, with which the DJ smoothly reduces the signals of input channels, as well as the presence of a block of special sound effects.
• Radio microphone – translated from Greek as “small” and “voice”. Today, professionals of variety or conversational genre prefer certain brands of microphone, which in their opinion sound good. There is no unequivocal opinion on this matter. Here are the most famous brands: Shure, AKG, Sennheiser, Rode, Neumann, Peavey, Audio-Technica and ElectoVoice;
• but of course communication system of wires – where without the right wire or plug, something somewhere wrong connected or inserted in the wrong socket and there is no sound (but for this there is a sound technician);
• Speaker stands are also necessary, so that the sound would not go on the floor, but would be directed at the audience.

But there are also extended sets of rental of sound equipment, they include by the standard equipment: subwoofers (these are speakers that reproduce low-frequency sounds), when using which, the sound becomes richer and brighter by the way I can say that many DJs or hosts of events do not see the good sound without a sub, but then who likes it, what they say to taste and sound….;

• • stage monitors, usually used at concerts, to create additional sound, to orient performers;
  • combics, to amplify instruments;
  • crossover – a device that collects several sound systems in a single bundle; aqualizers; controller for the acoustic system, stands for microphones, lecterns and a lot of all sorts of sometimes incomprehensible to the common man things and chips, with the help of which you get a high-quality sound of the desired power.

.

Many come to the opinion that to take the equipment is not just convenient and fast, it is also profitable. Today, not only individual companies that hold their corporate events once a year or presentation of a new office once every 5 years, hire sound, but also large organizers of festivals and mass celebrations, presenters and famous musical performers.

In most cases, the provided sound are devices with a proven name and world brands, with the best quality and clear sound.
