Sound equipment rental cost: what goes into the total

In the catalogue, every speaker, mixer and microphone shows a price for one day of rental. For a one-day event the arithmetic is simple: add up everything you need and you have the rental fee. On a kit page that sum is already worked out for you.

Keep in mind that the price is per unit. Two active speakers are two lines, two stands are two more. The small lines look trivial on their own, but they are usually what decides whether the budget you drafted holds.

The 24-hour price is the starting point. If your event runs over several days, or you want the gear the evening before and will return it two mornings later, we quote the longer period separately. For that we need the real dates, not just the date of the event.

Think about setup and teardown too. A conference starts at nine in the morning, but the sound has to be ready the previous evening because there is no time to test in the morning. That often adds a day that was not in the first budget.

Most surprises come from small things missing from the first list. A speaker without a stand sits on the floor and sounds muddy, a laptop without a DI box hums, and a wireless microphone without spare batteries goes quiet at the worst moment.

Send us your list and we will check it and tell you what is missing. It is easier to add a stand to the quote than to hunt for one on the morning of the event.

The simplest option is to collect the equipment from our Tallinn warehouse and bring it back afterwards. Then you pay the rental fee only. That works when the kit fits in your car and someone on site knows how to connect it.

Delivery, setup and a technician on site are separate services, priced according to the location, the access (stairs, a lift, how close a van can get), the time of day and how long the technician has to stay. We always quote these individually, because two identical kits can mean very different work in two different venues.

A technician is worth having when there is a band on stage, when there are more than three or four microphones, or when the sound also goes to a live stream. One speech microphone and two speakers you can usually handle yourself.

Equipment rental is seasonal. From Friday to Sunday and from May to September demand is higher, and the most popular items may already be booked. That does not change the price on the page, but it can change which kit is still available: if the speakers you wanted are gone, the alternative model may have a different price.

When you know the date, book early. Asking for a quote commits you to nothing, but it lets us reserve the equipment.

The more precise the request, the sooner you get a number that holds. Send us in one message:

You can send the request straight from the site by adding items to the cart, or call or email us. We answer on weekdays from 10:00 to 18:00.

Kits are put together so that nothing is missing: the speech kit for up to 50 people has two JBL EON710 speakers, stands, a Soundcraft Notepad 12FX mixer and two wireless handheld microphones. The kit page shows the total immediately, and you can still change it, for instance by adding a third microphone.

When people plan item by item, what they forget most often is exactly the stands, the DI boxes and the mixer. A kit remembers them for you.
