Sound equipment
The quality of sound equipment used can make or break a party. Poor sound quality means distorted, unintelligible music, which leads to headaches and irritated guests!We use professional PA equipment that's designed specifically for this purpose, and only from respected manufacturers. Depending on the event, we use a combination of active and passive speakers to achieve an appropriate sound level with superb quality. We've selected our PA equipment to be more powerful than necessary so that we don't have to run it at maximum capacity to achieve an adequate sound level. This all means better sound quality and more reliable equipment. It also means we can achieve the desired atmosphere on the dance floor without necessarily cranking the volume up so high that people elsewhere in the room can't have a conversation... but the volume's there if you want it!
Lighting equipment
If you're picturing 70's-style light screens and flashing lights, think again. Our lighting rig uses high-end professional equipment that would be at home in any top nightclub, and is fully computer controlled. This means we can control the colours, speed and effects to suit the music or the theme of your event. The effects range from subtle enough to use as background mood lighting while your guests arrive, to fast-moving, energetic effects over a packed dancefloor.Without going into too much technical detail, we use a combination of colour washes, colour changing spotlights, scanning effects, moving heads, ultraviolet, lasers, big screen video projectors, and other effects. The lighting we use will be tailored to fit with your event and the type of music we'll be playing. We're always happy to talk techie so if you'd like to know more or have any specific requirements don't hesitate to give us a call!
One piece of equipment that plays a very important role in the lightshow is our haze machine, and we strongly recommend using it wherever possible. It's so subtle that it's sometimes difficult to see it producing any output at all, but it adds a translucent haze to the air that makes the beams of the lighting effects visible in mid air. Put simply, it's the difference between "cheesy school disco" and "nightclub". Please see the effects page for more details.
