What’s Included In Dry Hire
Each speaker comes with the right matched amplifier, speakon and signal cables, plus fly hardware where needed. PAT certs on request. Pre-configured DSP/preset loaded on the amp.
Passive Speakers We Stock
d&b audiotechnik (Y, V, KSL series) with D-series amps. L-Acoustics (Kara, K2, K3, Syva) with LA-Rak processing. RCF HDL line array. Plus various installations: monitor wedges, fills, delays. Funktion-One on request.
Active vs Passive
Passive speakers need a separate amp, but typically scale bigger, hit higher SPL and sound more transparent for live music and big rooms. For plug-and-play setups, see active speakers. Both on the main speakers page.
Amps & Processing
Each cabinet ships with its matched amp and DSP preset (d&b D80, D40, L-Acoustics LA12X, LA8). Tested and ready to rack on arrival.
Need It Tuned And Run?
Big passive systems benefit from a system engineer to tune coverage and run the show. See event production, or back to sound hire.
