4 Questions To Ask Before Choosing Audio Equipment Rental For Your Next Event

Don’t Forget to Share this post!

Choosing your audio equipment rental does not have to be hard to do. However, there are some questions you will want to bring up during the process. You want something that is going to work hard and make a difference for the event. You want something that can withstand the type of event you’re throwing.

Whatever the needs are, know that you’re easily able to use these four questions to ask the audio equipment rental company before you rent their equipment for your next upcoming event. You’ll be glad you did once you see how easy it is to have the right audio for any of your events.

1. How Much Does it Cost?

If you’re one of the many who are wondering how much does it cost to rent sound equipment or even where to rent a sound system from, you’re not alone. You want to have an idea or price point to go off of when it comes to the event you’re throwing.

Generally, when you ask this, they might not be able to give an answer right away because they have to determine what type of equipment you will need. They need to know the setup required to know the price. Of course, you will also want to check how much the deposit is going to be and anything else you might have to put down or pay for, such as insurance. These costs should not be hidden, so make sure to ask about them!

You can expect to spend a couple of hundred dollars to a couple thousand depending on the event and the system. This all matters. However, it is still important to ask about the costs.

2. Who Controls the Equipment?

During the event, you might not have the time to control the equipment. Not just that, but you might not know how. This is important. A lot of companies have their workers and professionals come out to do the setup and cleanup, but also the controls of the equipment however the renter wants to have them done.

This is spoken about during the initial meeting. Keep this in mind. You definitely want a company that offers its own professional to control the equipment for you. There are sometimes issues that happen with AV equipment and you want someone knowledgeable enough to know how to repair something, should an accident happen.

3. Should I Just Buy the Equipment or Rent it?

This is a common question that is asked by many. Consider how much you’re going to use this equipment prior to deciding. If the answer is a couple of times per year, then rentals are the more logical and money-saving method to use. If you are going to be using it once a week or more, then perhaps buying equipment and learning how to use it should be considered.

4. How Far Out Are You Booking?

One of the issues that many companies and individuals have is that they try to book too soon. It is important to give the audio rental company at least 48 hours or more notice when you want to use their systems for your event. This way, you know that you can use their services and equipment.

Flying by the seat of your pants might work well for you and your company, but putting together an entire sound system for your event might be a lot of work that requires more time than you’re able to give.

Contact the rental company as soon as you know the date of your event to book with them. The sooner the better, because peak times might affect whether they have equipment for you to rent for your event or not. It is best to be prepared in the event that something like this were to happen. Plan ahead.
