PA Hire
PA Hire in the Stroud Area (Including Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, South West England and South Wales)
We provide rental of fully manned high-quality PA Systems, suitable for most types of event in venues accommodating up to 1,000 people. Our off-the-peg PA systems have the core equipment, capacity and flexibility to produce excellent results in the majority of applications, but please feel free to email or call us without obligation if you would like to discuss your requirements. Events in very small venues (with an audience capacity of less than 50), or in larger or outdoor arenas (with audiences of more than 500 people, or dimensions larger than 50 metres) generally require more particular attention
Please also feel free to email or call us if you can't find what you need to know here, or if your event has other specific requirements you would like to discuss. We're happy to liaise directly with bands or venues if it makes things easier, and to check and advise on technical riders or similar documents.
The PA Hire section details the main PA systems and individual items of PA equipment available, and includes information on:
PA Systems |
We have a number of complete packaged PA systems to meet common PA Hire applications. These are detailed in the PA Systems section. Our PA systems combine: • Skilled and Experienced Crew We believe our PA Hire prices (see below) are very competitive: we aim to provide fillet steak on a burger budget. Whilst the proof of the pudding is in the eating (and - happily - most of our first-time customers are surprised to find how good our PA systems sound and how professional we are), you can use this section to check out the ingredients. Manufacturers of the equipment we supply provide full industry-standard specifications for any PA equipment you may wish to hire from us. |
PA Hire Prices |
We recommend that you ask for a specific quotation for any hire, but you can get a general idea of the Hire Prices of our manned PA systems (including common variations) here. Our primary PA Hire pricing structure is based on the hire of complete delivered PA systems, with crew to deal with everything from setting-up (included with all our PA systems) to full production (included with all concert PA systems). However, any combination of sound and lighting equipment can be supplied - with crew or dry-hired - for your event (please ask us if you need a combination of PA equipment that isn't shown). We can also sub-hire and supply additional PA or lighting equipment for larger productions, subject to individual quotation. Generally, you should find our PA Hire rates competitive if compared with other PA Hire companies on a like-for-like basis. However, there are so many variables that make up any single PA system package that a simple "price matching" policy would be very difficult to apply. Where PA system comparison is relatively straightforward we may nevertheless be able to offer a matching quotation if you ask us. |
PA Application Guide |
If you know what kind of event you are having (but not exactly what kind of PA equipment you want to hire), a suitable PA system may be easier to find using this section. We provide packaged PA systems for most indoor and some outdoor applications, including: • Weddings and Private Parties (birthdays, anniversaries and special events)- Speeches, Dance and Disco or Live Music • Conferences, Lectures or Presentations- (Conference PA Systems and Audio-Visual Equipment) • Live Entertainment• Outdoor Events- Festivals and Live Music, Special Events, or School Sports Days We'll also be happy to offer any help or advice we can - without obligation - if you give us a call. |
PA System Power Ratings |
This page explains PA System Power Ratings (and power specifications for our concert systems according to some of the standards that can be used). Manufacturers - as well as PA Hire companies - use a bewildering repertoire of technical and pseudo-technical terms to describe their products. We think it is good business practice to operate as transparently as possible, so we don't try to disguise or exaggerate what you will get from us. We only supply PA equipment for which full industry-standard technical information is available, and we encourage you to understand what that information means. Also, we tell you exactly what you will get. We'll always provide you with a written quotation before you hire from us (follow the link to see an example PA hire quotation), and take care to be specific and accurate. We don't say British Beef* knowing most people won't bother to follow the asterisk and discover - right at the bottom in the smallest typeface available - that we're being a bit generous with the truth. If it says Martin Audio (or QSC, or Allen & Heath) on our web page, it means you will get Martin Audio (or QSC, or Allen & Heath) PA equipment and original components when you hire it from us. *Made from reprocessed meat from more than one country and packaged for Astralsound PA Hire in the UK. |
PA Hire Equipment |
Any hired PA system includes a variety of PA Equipment, and our own hire equipment is individually detailed here so that you can see what PA Hire products we stock, check manufacturer specifications, and download user manuals and other documents from PA equipment manufacturers if you need more detailed information. |
Dry Hire |
We can supply any stocked item or combination of items to order (either for collection, or delivered). The Dry Hire section details dry-hire (unmanned, ex-works) charges for most of our stocked PA equipment. |
How to Order |
How to hire a PA system from Astralsound for your event. This includes what to check before you order, and our general Terms and Conditions. This is not an exclusive statement of hire terms that may apply: as well as specific additional terms that may apply in some cases, there may terms that apply by virtue of legal requirement or common practice, or terms that are implied by other parts of a hire agreement. However, it covers most of the common important points. Additional terms always apply to Dry Hire, and there may be other express or implied terms in any agreement you have with us. We will in any event endeavour to deal with you fairly and openly, and as long as you deal with us in the same way (and take care of our equipment if it is under your control) nothing you agree with us should give you cause for concern, but please take independent advice if you are in doubt. |
