What’s Included In Dry Hire
Each active speaker comes with the mains lead, an XLR or jack signal cable and a stand or pole adaptor if needed. PAT certificate on request. Flight cases included on premium units.
Active Speakers We Stock
Yamaha DZR series (10″, 12″, 15″), RCF ART 9 series, QSC K and KW series, Mackie SRM. Subs in 15″ and 18″ sizes to match. All current generation with built-in DSP and limiter protection.
Active vs Passive
Active speakers have an amp built in – easier to set up, plug and play. Passive needs a separate amp but scales bigger for line array and arena use. See passive speakers if you need to go bigger, or the main speakers page for both.
Common Uses
Conferences, AGMs and panel sessions, school productions, mobile DJ rigs, small live music up to around 300 capacity, sports days, school discos and product launches.
