The reason I chose to write on the topic of sound system rental for your events in Singapore is to share with you 3 very important tips to ensure that you always have the right sound system for your events.
I have been to events where the event sound system could not support a disco segment or when it is used for a live band performance and failed to produce quality sound, which ultimately made the whole experience one to forget for the guests and the poor band members.
It is definitely a situation you will want to avoid being in.
Here are 3 important tips to ensure you have the right event sound system rental package for your events.
Event Requirements - Sound System Rental
If you have disco segments or have included a live band performance for your event and are using the venue sound system, always remember to ask them if their in-house sound system can support it. Some venue in-house sound systems can only support event sound for conferences and might not be able to produce high quality sound that is required for your segments.
Always call them and check!
Number of Guests - Sound System Rental
If you are engaging an external vendor to provide you with the sound system rental service, it is important to let to the sound system rental company know the expected number of guests for your event. Also update your vendor on the type of sitting layout you have planned for your guests. For example, if it is round table sitting and etc.
Simply put, the higher the number of guests, the more speakers are required.
The Right Sound System Rental Company
The right sound system rental company is one that asks you the right questions to ensure that you have the right-fit sound system to deliver high quality sound for your event.
What does a basic sound system consists of?
For up to about 150 guests dinner and dance event, the sound system rental service package will include:
2 Speakers
1 Mixer
CD and Thumb-drive Player
2 Wireless Microphones
Professional and Experienced Sound Technician
All Inter-connecting Wires and Signal Cables
The rental cost for this sound system rental package, which includes delivery, setup and disassembly is usually between $400 to $500 depending on the availability of the vendor. Sometimes if the vendor has a busy schedule and has to hire external part-timers the cost goes up. It is always advisable to book for event AV rental services early so the vendor is able to plan early and offer you his usual rate.
Why do vendors always include an event deejay for dinner and dances and festive events?
The sound technician who is always included in any sound system rental package in Singapore usually does not possess a music library. However, depending on case by case basis, if you are able to provide the songs and music that are to be played on the event day according to the programme flow and different segments, you can update the sound system rental company and potentially save cost.
The soundman will then be put in-charge of managing the sound system throughout the event. In these cases the soundman will normally arrive at the event much earlier to go through the program flow with the event organiser to ensure everyone is on the same page.
