Free venue walkthrough
A senior tech from our team walks the room with you, in person, before quoting. We look at the audience, the format and where the kit needs to live.

In, tuned, ready
We arrive in your venue load-in window. Kit goes up, mics tested with you, levels set, screen aligned. Calmly.

On the day, with you
The same operator who walked the room with you. Watching levels, swapping mic batteries, handling the moments the agenda forgot.

Operated Most popular

Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most from Manchester event teams.
How much does microphone hire in Manchester cost?
Wireless mic 4-pack from £100. Headset mics from £40 per unit. Operated packages with the PA from £350.
What is the minimum mic hire?
A 4-pack. Most business events need at least four mics: chair lectern, two panellists, plus one roving for audience questions.
Can I hire just mics without a PA?
Possible, but we usually advise against it. Mics need a PA tuned to handle them or you get feedback and uneven levels. Better to hire the package.
Do you supply headset mics?
Yes. Flesh-tone single-ear booms for stage talent who need their hands free.
What if a mic fails on the day?
Operated packages have backup mics already paired and ready. The operator swaps in seconds.
