I. AUDIO SERVICE: WHAT IS IT?

The audio service is a professional and accredited service that covers the rental of technical equipment and the set-up and start-up of professional microphone and sound diffusion systems by qualified engineers.

The choice of the audio service, i.e. the company to be contracted for audio services, is by no means simple. It is worth choosing industry professionals with proven experience, top-notch gear, modern equipment, and who can deliver a tailor-made service.

Be it a live concert, show, conference, congress or corporate meeting, be it an indoor or outdoor affair, the audio service will design and install the best sound system keeping in mind the location, the number of people who will attend and the budget available.

It will be the audio engineer’s duty to combine these factors in the best possible way in creating a state-of-the-art sound system and ensuring the best sound quality.

II. EQUIPMENT

As said, the audio service supplies equipment rental including setup and support during the event. Below is a list of everything an audio service should provide:

  • MICROPHONES: for the audio set-up of the speakers’ desks and stands: to capture the voice of permanent stations or musical instruments

  • RADIOMICROPHONES: mobile mikes to provide free movement whilst boosting vocals. Headset (headband), lavalier (or clip), handheld microphone

  • AUDIO MIXER: to mix all the sources connected and spread the sound volumes across the sound areas

  • AMPLIFIERS: to carry the sound to the speakers

  • ACOUSTIC SPEAKERS: to spread the sound across the room. Passive, active or line-array (for vertical hanging arrangement)

  • RECORDING SYSTEMS: to capture audio throughout the event, even in multitrack format

  • AUDIO CABLES and ACCESSORIES: for conveying and cleansing the audio feed

III. TECHNICAL TEAM

The technical staff involved may vary depending on the size and specific requirements of the event, but always include: the AUDIO TECHNICIAN and the SOUND ENGINEER.

  • The AUDIO TECHNICIAN is in charge of the setup, configuration and monitoring of the facilities. He never operates alone but in a well-organised team, the size of which varies depending on the scale of the event and the required amount of audio equipment.

  • The SOUND Engineer is a specialist who regulates the sound during the event to ensure faultless sound quality. He can be a stage or hall sound engineer, in both cases, the leading figure in a live show. He deals with standards such as sound clarity, volume, synchronisation and equalisation that he will test during soundcheck. A fundamental step before the event that will allow him to test the output of his work but above all to record the performance in the run-up to the show.

In a nutshell, a good service is one that employs highly qualified technicians, one that values the human component, one that appreciates its added value and bears witness to its importance. Because no single technology can ever make up for the absence of an expert technician.

IV. AUDIO SERVICE COSTS

On average, the cost of a sound service for an event can range from several hundred to several thousand euros. The expense varies depending on several factors, such as the quality and quantity of the equipment required, the duration of the event, the number of audio technicians and sound engineers needed, the geographical location and other specific requirements.

It is worth noting that the cost of a high-quality audio service can be high, but it guarantees a smooth and pleasant listening experience.

In order to best assess the options on the market, it is necessary to request a quote ( and, if possible, an inspection), so that only appropriate solutions can be explored.

IV. EQUIPMENT RENTAL OR PURCHASE

Frankly speaking, the choice between hire and purchase of audio equipment depends on the specific needs of the event and your budget.

  • Rental: audio equipment rental is the most cost-effective option for large and small events, especially for those requiring a wide variety of equipment. Moreover, rental allows you to use high-quality equipment without having to invest in an expensive set-up. Above all, it includes the professional technical component, a team of experienced audio technicians able to follow the set-up and use of the equipment before, during and after events.
  • Purchasing: the purchase of audio equipment can be a cost-effective option for regular, permanent events or for those who need special equipment for long-term use.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your needs. If you use audio equipment regularly and planned over time, buying it may be the most cost-effective choice in the long term. If, on the other hand, your use is for a single event or if you want to use a different set-up at each one, renting equipment is definitely the most convenient choice. The advice is to always ask for a consultancy, also from our installation specialist unit, for an exhaustive cost-benefit assessment of the situation.
