Hiring Speakers and a PA: What to Know

Most events need sound for three things: speeches, music and the odd announcement. The trick is matching the system to the space, because a backyard in Hermit Park, a function room on Flinders Street and a park on the northern beaches each need something different.

Sizes of system to consider:

  • A battery PA – a compact speaker and wireless microphone for an outdoor ceremony or a park gathering with no power.
  • Speeches and background music – a pair of speakers, a small mixer and microphones for a function room.
  • A full party system – bigger speakers for a dance floor, often paired with lighting.
  • Staging and screens – added when there are presentations or a live band.

Tell the hire company how many guests, indoors or out, and whether a DJ or band is bringing their own gear. Then ask whether a technician stays for the speeches or the system is simply dropped off and collected the next morning.

Sound outdoors near the water

  • Breeze off the bay carries sound away; aim speakers at the guests and keep microphones out of the wind.
  • Ask about windshields on microphones for an outdoor ceremony on The Strand or a beach.
  • Check noise limits and finish times with the venue or reserve owner for a park event.

Before you hire

  • Is a technician included, or is it a self-run drop-off?
  • What do delivery, set-up and collection cost?
  • How is the gear protected if a storm comes through, and what are the rebooking terms?

When you need more than speakers

  • Lighting, LED screens and staging come from the same crew; see AV hire.
  • For music as well as sound, a DJ usually brings their own system.
  • A wireless microphone for the speeches is worth adding even when the DJ supplies the speakers.

Questions About Speaker & PA Hire

What PA suits a beach ceremony on the foreshore?

A battery PA with a wireless microphone covers vows and a few songs without needing power. Ask for a windshield on the microphone.

Can I hire speakers for a 50th in a Kirwan backyard?

Yes. Speakers and microphones can be delivered to Thuringowa and the northern beaches; tell the crew the guest count so the system is sized right.

Do I need a technician for speeches at a club function?

Not always, but it helps. A technician can fix feedback or a flat microphone battery mid-speech so the night keeps moving.

How do I stop sound gear getting wet in a summer storm?

Keep it under cover and off the ground, away from the edges of a marquee, and agree a plan with the hire company if rain sets in.

Can speaker hire be sent over to Magnetic Island?

Ask directly: the island is not among the listed areas, so the ferry and crew time would need to be agreed.
