How it works
Dry hire or packaged with crew
Send us your tech rider or a gear list and we will quote it. Not sure what the room needs? Tell us the venue and the audience and we will design it. Dry hire is collected from Laverton North or delivered to site; packaged systems come with a Monitor City system tech for the run of the event.
We also stock a small range of ex-rental equipment for sale, and as the Australian DVOX reseller we can add app-free assistive listening to any hire.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you dry hire, or only supply with crew?
Both. We dry hire consoles, PA, wireless and comms to production companies and engineers who bring their own crew, and we supply packaged systems with our own system techs and FOH or monitor engineers. Tell us which you need and we will quote accordingly.
Do you travel outside Melbourne?
Yes. We are based in Laverton North, Melbourne, and supply regional Victoria and interstate regularly. Fly-date packages are cased for air freight and travel anywhere in Australia or overseas.
Can you work from our tech rider?
Yes, send it with your quote request. Our inventory is rider-friendly — Adamson, DiGiCo, Avid, Shure Axient Digital, DPA, Riedel Bolero, d&b and Nexo — so most riders are met without substitutions. Where a substitution is needed we will say so up front.
How much notice do you need?
For a standard PA or console hire, one to two weeks is comfortable. Festival-scale systems, touring packages and anything with RF coordination are best booked four to eight weeks out. Short-notice jobs are often possible — call the office and ask.
Do you do small jobs?
Yes. A single console, a wireless package or a pair of point-source speakers for a corporate presentation is a normal hire for us, and it gets the same serviced gear and the same people as a festival main stage.
