Type One
Wireless handheld microphone rental
Digital wireless handhelds that get passed between speakers, handed to a best man, walked into an audience for questions or carried by an emcee for four hours with a solid signal the whole time. This is the microphone most events use most of the night.
We bring spares, we bring fresh batteries, and we swap them mid-event before anyone notices a level moving.
Best for Toasts, emcees, keynotes, auctions, Q&A, awards, anything that gets passed hand to hand.
Type Two
Lapel & lavalier microphone rental
Clip-on lavalier microphones on wireless bodypacks, for the presenter who needs both hands and wants the photographs clean. This is the standard for officiants, panelists and anyone being recorded.
We place them ourselves. Lapel microphones live or die by where they get clipped, and our technician spends the two minutes on that placement during setup at every event.
Best for Officiants, panel discussions, interviews, podcasts, video shoots, worship services.
Type Three
Headset microphone rental
Over-the-ear headset microphones that keep a consistent distance from the mouth however much the speaker turns, gestures or walks. An hour in, the presenter still sounds the same.
Because the capsule stays put, headsets hold gain better than a handheld or a lapel, which matters in a loud or reverberant room.
Best for Trainers, fitness and dance instructors, worship leaders, long-form presenters, stage performers.
Type Four
Podium & lectern microphone rental
A gooseneck microphone mounted to the lectern, or a stand-mounted podium microphone for a room with a speaking position and open floor. Set once, aimed properly, and it works for everyone who steps up to it.
This is the setup we fix most often at hotels and venues: a podium microphone aimed at a chest, ringing the moment the room fills. Ours is aimed at the mouth and rung out with a person standing at it. We aim it and set it with a person standing there, and because De-Feedback comes with every microphone we send out, the microphone is ready as soon as it is placed and stays clean once the room fills.
Best for Award ceremonies, graduations, conferences, city and council meetings, memorials, press events.
Type Five
Conference & board room microphones
Push-to-talk tabletop microphones: one per seat, live only while the button is held. That keeps a table full of open microphones from picking up the same shuffling papers, side conversations and air handling, and it means the person speaking is clearly the person you hear.
It also gives you a clean feed for the recording or the stream, because only the person talking is ever open.
Best for Board meetings, council chambers, committee hearings, depositions, meeting rooms, hybrid conference rooms.
Type Six
Instrument, choir & stage microphones
Drum kits, guitar cabinets, acoustic instruments, choir and overhead coverage, plus the stands, clips and cabling that go with them. Once a band is playing, the microphone list becomes an input list.
Send us the stage plot or the input list and we will bring what it calls for, along with monitoring so the players can hear themselves.
Best for Live bands, worship teams, school and university performances, recitals, recorded sets.
Not sure which one you need?
That is the normal starting point, and sorting it out is part of the job. Describe the room, the headcount and who is speaking, and we will come back with the specific microphone complement for it, including the ones you had not thought to ask for, like a spare handheld for floor questions or a second lapel on the person being interviewed.
