PA Hire in the Stroud Area (Including Bristol, Cheltenham, Gloucester
and the South West of England)
We supply fully manned high-quality Public Address systems, suitable for
most types of live performance in venues accommodating up to 1,000 people
(please contact us to
discuss your requirements in detail if your venue accommodates less than 50 or
more than 300 people).
This section details the main systems and individual items of equipment
available and includes:

If you know what kind of event you are having (but not exactly what kind of equipment
you want), a suitable system may be easier to find using this section.

most indoor and some outdoor applications, including:

Dance and Disco or Live
Music)
• Private
Parties
(Birthdays,
anniversaries or special events)
(Conference
PA Systems and Audio-Visual

(Concerts,
Comedy or Cabaret) • Outdoor

and Live Music, Special

be happy to offer any help or advice we can if you give
us a call. |

We have a number of
complete packaged systems to
meet common PA Hire applications. These are detailed in the PA
Systems section.
We design our systems to provide:
• High
quality audio
• Comprehensive
facilities
• Excellent
value
We believe our charges are very
competitive: we aim to provide fillet steak for burger prices. While the
proof of the pudding is in the eating (happily, most of our first-time
customers are surprised to find how good our systems sound), you can at
least use this section to check out the ingredients: links to relevant
manufacturer pages are given for everything we supply. Full industry-standard
specifications are available for anything and everything we use (if you
want to find out about any item of equipment, click on its picture).

A brief discussion of PA
System power ratings (and power specifications for our concert
systems according to some of the standards that can be used). We think it is good business practice to operate as transparently
as possible, so we don't disguise or exaggerate what you will get from us.
Manufacturers - as well as PA Hire companies - use a bewildering
repertoire of technical and pseudo-technical terms to describe their
products. We only supply
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 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) equipment and original components
when you hire it. *Made from
reprocessed meat from more than one country and packaged for Astralsound
in the UK. |

Any system includes a variety of items, and

A guide to hire prices of manned
PA Systems (including common variations) is available here, although we
recommend that you ask for a specific quotation for any hire.
Our primary pricing
structure is based on the hire of complete delivered systems,
although any combination of sound and lighting equipment can be supplied
- with
crew or without
crew - for your particular requirement (please ask
us if you need a special combination of equipment).
We are able to organise the sub-hire and
supply of additional equipment for larger productions, subject to individual
quotation.
Generally, you should find our hire rates
competitive if compared with other PA companies on a like-for-like
basis. However, there are so many variables that make up any single
package that a simple "price matching" policy would be very
difficult to apply. Where system comparison is relatively
straightforward we may nevertheless be able to offer a matching
quotation if you ask us. |
|
|
We can provide any stocked item or
combination of items to order (either for collection, or delivered).
This section details dry-hire charges for most of our stocked equipment. |
|
|
Although we are not a lighting company,
we
do own some stage lighting equipment (par cans, profiles, bars, stands,
dmx controller and dimmers), and can provide this for hire. We can also
provide basic Disco
Lighting. Even if we don't have everything you need, we can still arrange lighting for your show, or put you directly
in touch with a lighting company if you prefer. |

Some of the legal stuff. This is not an
exhaustive statement of terms and conditions, but covers some of the
common important points. Additional terms apply to Dry
Hire, and there may be other express or implied terms in any hire
agreement you make 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. |
