How to choose sound equipment for events
Each of us, at least once in our lives, attended an event that was held using sound equipment. It could be a concert in the city square, a wedding or a matinee in a kindergarten. All these events require high-quality sound, but in each specific case different equipment must be used, corresponding to the scale of the event. So, for example, for a holiday in a children’s educational institution, a minimal set of sound equipment, rented by specialized companies, is perfect. If we talk about dubbing a city concert, then, as you understand, the equipment should be much more powerful. So, let’s take a closer look at what sound equipment will be required for this or that event.
Sound equipment for an event of 50–100 people.
Such events include: weddings, corporate events at companies, birthdays and other small events. To dub such events, it will be enough for you to rent:
- A pair of active columns;
- Simple functional mixer;
- Several good quality radio microphones.
If you add light and music to such a set, you can count on a magical, unforgettable holiday.
Sound equipment for events of 100 people or more.
If you have your sights set on hosting a large-scale event, you should choose a set of high-class rental sound equipment. Expensive sets of professional equipment differ significantly from simple and cheap ones in terms of the quality of sound output and voice transmission. They include various specialized devices designed for clear voice transmission or, for example, the sound of musical instruments, as well as a professional mixing console. Thanks to the latter, various sounds are combined into one ideal stereo image. Also, passive acoustics added to active speakers will help you get better sound output. If the event is planned to be held in a large room or outdoors, one or even several subwoofers should be included in the equipment set.
Of course, the set of sound equipment you will need to rent to organize a celebration is not everything, but do not forget that no matter how wonderful the presenter is, no matter how mesmerizing the lighting effects are, without high-quality sound your holiday will be doomed to failure. That is why the choice of a sound kit must be taken with particular seriousness.
