‘Dry hire’ means hiring equipment to use yourself, without the need for a sound or lighting engineer to be present during your event. Dry hire packages will generally need to be collected from St Albans AL4, and returned at a suitable time after the event. We can offer delivery too, depending on location and our schedule on your event day..

To make things easy, we offer several standard packages, as detailed below. If you have different requirements, just let us know, and we can put together a bespoke package that works for you.


Dry Hire DJ System Package

Our most common dry hire package is an all-inclusive stand-alone DJ system. Just bring your decks and DJ mixer – we bring everything else that you need for an incredible set up for up to ~200 audience members:

For an extra £20+VAT, we can also supply a DJ table / booth to make the set up look extra tidy.

Other Dry Hire Packages

Some other package options are detailed below – please get in touch for prices. Aside from our ‘standard’ DJ setup above, every event is a little different, so giving an idea of price for every event is impractical. Please rest assured that our equipment is well serviced, and our prices are extremely competitive!

Our audio equipment stock includes full range speakers, subwoofer speakers, active speakers, passive speakers, analogue and digital mixing consoles, in ear monitors, many many microphones wired and wireless, and literally miles of cabling! Please get in touch and briefly describe your requirements, and we’ll be happy to put together a quote for a design to match your needs.

If dry hiring doesn’t seem right for you, all of our systems can also be provided with professional sound / lighting engineers and crew to stay for the duration of your event.
