Core Service: Sound Hire
Sound systems that carry the room.
The Event Gear Company supplies professional sound equipment hire for events across Johannesburg and the surrounding Gauteng area, including corporate conferences, weddings, award evenings, and private functions. Every system is delivered, set up, and operated by our own crew.
Sound Hire From The Event Gear Company
Systems sized to the room and the event.
We supply PA systems, mixing consoles, wireless microphones, and monitor setups for hire across Johannesburg and the surrounding Gauteng area. Every system is sized to the room and the event, from a single lapel mic for a boardroom presentation to a full front-of-house and monitor rig for a live performance.
Our own crew handles delivery, setup, and operation on the day, so sound levels, mic changeovers, and monitor mixes are managed live rather than left running on a fixed setup.
What We Supply
Sound equipment, built around your event.
PA Systems & Speakers
Line-array and point-source PA systems sized to the room, from a compact setup for a boardroom to a full-range rig for a live band or dance floor.
Mixing Consoles
Digital and analogue mixing desks run by our own crew, so levels and EQ are managed live throughout the event rather than left on a fixed setting.
Wireless Microphone Systems
Handheld, lapel, and headset wireless microphones for speeches, presentations, MCs, and performers, with backup handling built into how we run the show.
Monitor Wedges
Stage monitors and in-ear monitoring for performers and presenters who need to hear themselves clearly over the main PA.
Subwoofers & Full-Range Systems
Additional low-end for dance floors, live bands, and DJ setups, added to the main PA where the event calls for more weight in the sound.
Signal Processing & Cabling
DI boxes, snakes, and signal processing to keep the system clean and reliable from the source right through to the speakers.
Why Event Gear
Run live, not left running.
Sized To The Room
Every system is matched to the venue and the event, not pulled off a shelf as a one-size package.
Run By Our Own Crew
We operate the system ourselves throughout the event, managing levels and mic changeovers live rather than leaving it on autopilot.
Built For Any Event
From corporate conferences to festivals, exhibitions, and funerals, we adjust the system and the approach to suit the occasion.
One Team, Coordinated
Sound is coordinated alongside staging, AV, and lighting where needed, so you're not managing separate suppliers on the day.
How It Works
From enquiry to sound check.
Enquiry & Brief
Tell us your event date, venue, and what needs sound coverage, whether that's a speaker, a panel, or a live band.
Venue & Requirements
We work out room size, audience count, existing AV, and power access, either from details you provide or a site visit for larger events.
System Design & Quote
We match the PA, microphones, and monitor setup to the event, then send through a quote for sign-off.
Delivery, Setup & Sound Check
Our crew delivers and sets up ahead of time, running a full sound check before doors open.
Live Operation & Breakdown
We run the system live through the event, managing levels and mic changeovers, then pack up and clear the venue once it wraps.
Questions
Sound hire, answered.
How much does sound equipment hire cost in Johannesburg?
Cost depends on the size of the PA system, how many microphones you need, and whether monitors or extra subwoofers are involved. Send us your event details and we'll put together an accurate quote.
What size PA system do I need for my event?
It depends on the room size, audience count, and whether there's music or just speech. We work this out with you during the enquiry so the system matches the venue rather than over- or under-supplying it.
Do you provide microphones with sound hire?
Yes. Handheld, lapel, and headset wireless microphones are available as part of the setup, sized to how many speakers or performers need one.
Is a sound engineer or operator included with the hire?
Yes. Our own crew delivers, sets up, and operates the system on the day, managing levels and mic changeovers live rather than leaving it on a fixed setting.
Can you supply sound equipment for outdoor events?
Yes, we can set up outdoors. Let us know the location, power access, and weather exposure in advance so we can plan the system and cabling accordingly.
How far in advance should I book sound hire?
As early as possible, particularly for larger corporate events, award evenings, or dates in peak event season. Contact us with your date and we'll confirm availability.
Do you offer sound hire together with staging, AV, or lighting?
Yes. Most clients book sound alongside staging, audio-visual, and lighting so the whole production is coordinated by one team rather than several vendors.
What types of events do you supply sound equipment for?
Corporate conferences, weddings, award evenings, and private functions make up most of our sound hire work across Johannesburg and the surrounding Gauteng area.
Complete Your Event
Sound is half the story.
Most of our sound hire clients book staging, AV, or lighting alongside it, so the whole production comes from one team instead of three separate suppliers.
Staging Hire
Modular stages, trussing, and podiums sized to the venue, built and struck by the same crew running your sound.
