There is no single number that works for every venue. It depends on room size and shape, indoor or outdoor, how spread out guests are, background noise and how loud you want it. Start with one speaker for a small venue, and tell us about the room if it is larger.

Photo ID (passport or driving licence) and proof of address (bank statement, utility bill or government document) are required at collection. We check them at handover and hand them straight back — we do not take copies, photographs or scans, and we do not keep them.

No. We check your photo ID and proof of address at handover and hand them straight back. We do not take copies, photographs or scans, and nothing is stored.

You are responsible for the equipment during the hire. Charges may apply for damage, liquid damage, loss or missing accessories, and are deducted from the deposit. Light cosmetic marks are treated as normal wear.

You are responsible for following venue rules, local noise restrictions and any licensing conditions. We supply the equipment; we do not authorise excessive noise or override venue rules.

No. Only the person named on the booking can take the equipment, because we check their ID and they sign the hire agreement at handover. This applies to delivery too — the named hirer needs to be there when we arrive.
