Active Speaker Hire

Active Powered Speaker Hire and Rental

Need strong, clean sound for an event without buying gear you will only use once or twice? Edwards Sound Systems offers active speaker hire and rental built around professional powered speakers from DAS Audio. These are the same systems trusted by the professionals, touring acts, venues and production crews, just made available for short term use.

Our active speaker hire range suits live music, DJs, corporate events, school functions, weddings, church services, outdoor days and mobile PA setups. You get serious sound, simple setup and gear that just works when the doors open.

Why Hire Active Speakers?

Hiring active speakers makes sense when you want quality sound without the cost, storage or maintenance that comes with owning equipment.

Each active powered speaker has the amplifier built into the cabinet. That means fewer boxes to move, fewer cables to run and far less time spent setting things up. You plug in, connect your mixer or playback device, and you are ready to go.

Active speaker hire makes sense because:

• Fast setup and pack down, ideal for one day events
• No external amplifiers to transport or configure
• Reliable performance, with processing matched to the speaker
• Easy scaling, add more speakers or a powered sub if the crowd grows
• Predictable results, the system sounds the same every time

For many clients, this takes the stress out of event audio. No guessing. No last minute troubleshooting.

Our Active Speaker Hire Range

Our hire stock covers everything from small indoor presentations through to large outdoor events. We focus on real world systems that sound good, handle volume comfortably and survive the bumps that come with event work.

Available options include:

• Portable powered speakers for speeches, classrooms and meetings
• Active PA speakers for bands, DJs and parties
• Powered subwoofers for deeper bass and fuller music playback
• Stage monitors for live performers
• Matched speaker and sub packages for quick deployment

We carry and use DAS Audio systems because they hold up, sound amazing and are easy for clients to use without technical headaches.

Choosing the Right Active Speakers for Your Event

Before you lock in a hire, it helps to think about what the system needs to do on the day.

For speech focused events like conferences, assemblies or ceremonies, a pair of full range active speakers often covers the room comfortably. Clear vocals, even coverage, no excess volume.

For DJs, live bands and anything music driven, adding an active subwoofer changes the whole feel. The low end fills the space and takes strain off the main speakers, which keeps the sound cleaner as levels rise.

We can help with:

• Picking the right speaker size for your audience and space
• Deciding if a powered subwoofer is needed
• Matching speakers with mixers, microphones and playback gear
• Outdoor versus indoor setups
• Simple instructions so anyone can run the system on the day

If you are unsure, talk it through with our team. A short chat usually saves a lot of guesswork.

Active Speaker Hire FAQs

When should I hire a powered subwoofer?
If music matters, hire the sub. DJs, bands, school dances and parties all benefit from extra low end. Speech only events often do not need one.

Are active speakers easy to use for non technical people?
Yes. That is a big reason they are hired so often. Everything is built into the speaker and settings are straightforward. We also provide clear setup advice.

Can active speakers be used outdoors?
They are used outdoors all the time for corporate events and bands, sports days and community events. Placement and basic weather protection are key. We will guide you on what works!
