Sound Hire
Need sound hire for an event but not sure what equipment you actually need?
Whether you need a simple speaker setup, a full PA system hire package, microphones for speeches, or event audio hire for a more involved setup, we can help recommend a practical option that fits the event.
Event Sound Hire That Fits the Job
Sound hire is not just about picking the biggest speakers available.
The right setup depends on the venue, guest numbers, layout, music style and whether the system is being used for speech, background music, DJ sound, live performance or announcements.
A small indoor party needs a different setup to a marquee wedding. A corporate presentation needs different audio equipment to a DJ-led evening event. Outdoor sound hire needs more planning than a simple room setup.
JET Event Hire helps match the equipment to the event, so you are not left guessing what will work.
Sound Equipment Available to Hire
Your setup can be built around how the event needs to sound. Available hire options may include:
Speakers & Stands
- PA system hire for events, speeches, music and presentations
- Speaker hire for parties, weddings, functions and private events
- Speaker stands for better sound positioning
- Outdoor sound hire for gardens, marquees and open spaces

Not Sure What Sound Setup You Need?
You don’t need to know the technical names before enquiring. Most customers simply know they need people to hear music, speeches or announcements properly. That’s enough to start with. For a recommendation, send over as much of the following as you can:
- Event date
- Whether the sound is for speech, music, DJ use, live performance or announcements
- Venue or location
- Approximate guest numbers
- Event type
- Indoor, outdoor or marquee setup
- Whether microphones are needed
- Whether music is coming from a phone, laptop, DJ controller or live performer
- Whether the venue already has any sound equipment
- Setup and collection timings
- Any access, power or noise restrictions
Once we know how the event needs to work, we can suggest a sound hire setup that makes sense.

FAQ
What is included in sound hire?
Sound hire can include speakers, microphones, mixers, stands, cabling and other audio equipment depending on the event. The exact setup depends on the venue, guest numbers and what the system needs to do.
What is the difference between sound hire and PA system hire?
Sound hire is the broader term. PA system hire usually refers to a speaker and microphone setup used for music, speeches or announcements. Sound hire can also include DJ sound systems, outdoor speakers, wedding sound and event audio equipment.
Can I hire sound equipment for both music and speeches?
Yes. Many events need both. For example, you may need microphones for speeches and speakers for music afterwards. The setup can be planned around both uses.
Do you offer setup with sound system hire?
Setup can be included where required. This is useful if you want the equipment positioned, connected and ready to use without dealing with the technical side yourself.
How do I know what size sound system I need?
The right size depends on guest numbers, venue size, indoor or outdoor use, music style and whether the system is for speech, background music or a dancefloor. Send over the event details and we can recommend a suitable option.
