Hiring Speakers and a PA: What to Know

Speaker hire in Newcastle splits along a clear line: a fully crewed production for a gala or conference, or a PA tacked onto another booking for a party. The two suppliers on this page sit at either end of that line.

Equip Multimedia is a Cardiff production company whose technicians deliver, set up, operate and pack down the sound, along with lighting, vision and staging when an event calls for it. Its inventory includes d&b line arrays and Midas and Allen & Heath desks, and its jobs have ranged from Newcastle Museum runway shows to community carols, school productions and charity galas.

Photobooths Newcastle, based at Bennetts Green, lists PA speakers among the extras you can put on a booth booking, alongside slushy and popcorn machines, a lolly cart and a jukebox. Booth packages start from $439.

Which one fits:

  • Conferences, galas and stage shows – Equip Multimedia, with a technician running the desk
  • Birthdays, formals and backyard parties – Photobooths Newcastle's PA speakers alongside a booth
  • Anywhere from the harbour to Lake Macquarie – both supply every Newcastle region
  • Lighting and screens on the same job – Equip Multimedia

Need screens and projection as well? See AV hire in Newcastle, or browse photobooths if the PA is part of a bigger party package.

Sizing up your sound

  • Work out who needs to hear clearly – speeches to a seated room ask less than a band or a stage show
  • Note whether there are presenters, live music or just a playlist
  • Check the venue's power and any noise limits
  • Ask whether a technician stays on site to run the sound

Have these ready for a quote

  • Venue, date and the time from set-up to pack-down
  • Number of microphones and who will be using them
  • Any lighting or screens you want alongside the sound

Questions About Speaker & PA Hire

Can I hire a sound technician as well as speakers in Newcastle?

Yes. Equip Multimedia's crews deliver, set up, operate and pack down the sound, so nobody at your event has to run the desk.

What speakers and desks does Equip Multimedia use?

Its kit includes d&b line arrays with Midas and Allen & Heath mixing desks.

Can I add a PA to a photobooth booking?

Photobooths Newcastle offers PA speakers on the same booking, along with a jukebox, slushy and popcorn machines and a lolly cart.

Does speaker hire cover Lake Macquarie events?

Both Equip Multimedia and Photobooths Newcastle supply all four Newcastle regions, including Lake Macquarie.

Is crewed sound overkill for a small party?

Equip Multimedia's work centres on galas, conferences, runway shows, carols and school productions. For a home party, PA speakers on a Photobooths Newcastle booking may be the simpler fit.
