About Buzz Speaker Hire
Buzz Speaker Hire has been hiring sound and lighting out of Tempe since 2014. The owners run parties themselves and started the business because they could not find a Sydney hire company stocking high end speakers at a sensible price. The stock reflects that. QSC tops and subwoofers cover most jobs, with Funktion-One, Void Acoustics, MM Acoustics, Nexo and Outline systems available when a room needs concert grade sound, and Pioneer CDJs and mixers, Technics turntables, Allen and Heath mixers and Shure microphones filling out the DJ side. Gear goes out as single items or as packs. The Bluetooth iPod Pack at $150 is the simplest way to get music into a backyard or a hall. The House DJ Party Pack at $340 adds Pioneer CDJs, a mixer and a monitor speaker so the DJ can hear what they are playing, and the Wedding Pack Basics sits at $290. Single QSC K12.2 tops start at $60 and the range builds up to full rigs with four subwoofers. Lighting covers par cans, moving heads, strobes, lasers, LED festoon and a Chauvet Gig Bar party package, with smoke, haze, fazer and bubble machines alongside it. Microphones, DJ tables, Megadeck staging, projectors, large LG screens and silenced four stroke generators are all on the list. Collect from the Tempe warehouse or have it delivered. Buzz covers the city, inner west and eastern suburbs and quotes other areas on request. A $200 security deposit is taken before the gear leaves and refunded once everything has been checked back in, and photo identification showing your address is recorded at handover. Listed rates cover a 24 hour hire, and Buzz will beat a cheaper Sydney quote by ten per cent.

Equipment & Service Details
Accessories such as leads, stands, bags, power boards and cases are treated as part of the hire and have to come back with the gear. You can collect from the Tempe warehouse, or Buzz will deliver and pick up through the city, inner west and eastern suburbs, with other areas quoted on request; delivery and setup are quoted separately from the equipment.
The hire period starts when the equipment is dispatched and ends when all of it is back, with listed rates covering 24 hours. A $200 security deposit is paid upfront and refunded by direct deposit or cash after the gear is tested and checked, which can take five to ten business days, and it can be applied to repairs, replacement, cleaning or late returns.
Outdoor or exposed events in forecast bad weather may attract an extra $1,000 deposit per speaker, subwoofer, CDJ or mixer. Photo identification with proof of address is photographed at handover, and the hirer is liable for water, sand, dust or sun damage.
Frequently asked questions
What is actually in the party packs?
The Bluetooth iPod Pack at $150 is a plug in and play speaker rig for music off a phone. The House DJ Party Pack at $340 adds Pioneer CDJs, a mixer and a monitor wedge so the DJ can hear the mix properly, and the Wedding Pack Basics is $290. Lighting, smoke machines and microphones are hired separately and added to the order.
How far ahead should I book?
Buzz asks that you send an enquiry before paying so they can confirm the gear is free on your date, so it is worth checking as soon as the date is set. The booking is only locked in once the security deposit has been paid.
What does speaker hire cost?
A single QSC K12.2 is $60 and a pair is $120, a QSC KS118 subwoofer is $90 and a pair of QSC KW153 tops is $240. Lighting starts around $30 for a disco effect or par can, smoke machines from $50, and microphones from $20. Each rate covers a 24 hour hire.
Do they deliver, or do I collect?
Either. The warehouse is at 3/3 Wood Street, Tempe, and pickup from there is the cheapest option. Delivery and pickup are offered through the city, inner west and eastern suburbs, and other parts of Sydney are quoted on request.
Is there a bond, and what do I need at pickup?
A $200 security deposit is paid before the equipment is dispatched and returned once it has all been tested and checked, which can take five to ten business days. A photo of your identification showing your name, photo and address is taken at pickup or delivery. For outdoor events with forecast rain, storms, heavy winds, hail or severe heat, an additional $1,000 deposit per item may be applied.
