Equipment
Sound & mics
People will forgive an average slide. They will not forgive a presenter they cannot hear. Sound rentals cover the room and the person talking, from a single breakout to a general session.
Where it usually fits
- Presentations
- Panels
- Training sessions
- Announcements
- Walk-in music
Sound systems
Powered speakers for breakouts and small stages, with a mixer when there is more than one microphone or a playback source. Larger rooms need coverage thought through, not just a louder box at the front.
- Room size and whether the ceiling is hard or treated
- Speech, program audio, or both
- A mixer when panels, playback, and a laptop all land at once
Microphones
Wireless handhelds, lavaliers, and headsets, plus a wired backup when the session cannot stop. Count the people who are on at the same time, not every name on the agenda.
- Handheld for pass-around questions, lav or headset for movement
- Receivers placed with line of sight, not in a closed podium
- Spare batteries and one extra transmitter for the key session
What to tell us
- How many open microphones at once
- Panel, lectern, or a presenter who walks
- Playback for video or walk-in music
- Neighboring rooms that cannot hear your session
