Big stage or small venue, your artists deserve visuals and sound that live up to the vibe in the room. We provide the audio-visual rental gear and support to make that happen.

Press Events & Speaking Engagements

Clear sound and sharp visuals make sure your message lands. We take care of setup, screen displays, and live tech support, so your speakers can focus on their audience.

Professional AV is critical for business meetings, seminars, and multi-day conferences. Our equipment helps you deliver every point to maximum impact, in a boardroom or a ballroom.

Special nights call for special production. We handle visuals and sound for dinner galas, charity auctions, and non-profit events. Our goal is to keep your mission in the spotlight without any tech hiccups.

Sporting Events & Community Gatherings

Crowds stay engaged with big screens, live feeds, and audio systems that fill any space. We support youth tournaments, school events, and city festivals with event AV services built for the energy of the day.

Our Video Equipment Rentals

We rent the type of video gear we’d want to use ourselves: clean, reliable, and ready to go. Whether you’re running a keynote, a concert, or a multi-day conference, we have the tools to make your visuals pop.

  • LED Video Walls
    Need a massive screen that looks sharp in any lighting? Our modular LED wall rental panels snap together to fit your stage and give your content the brightness and clarity it deserves.
  • Video Switchers
    When your show involves multiple feeds, clean switching is non-negotiable. Our switchers keep transitions smooth, so your audience stays focused on the content.
  • Projectors & Screens
    Every seat deserves a clear view. Our projectors and LED screen rentals give you bright, crisp images for breakout sessions, movie nights, or massive presentations.
  • Confidence Monitors & Teleprompters
    Help your speakers stay calm and collected. Our monitors and teleprompters keep keynotes, panels, and live streams running on point, without awkward pauses or lost notes.
  • Video Cables & Accessories
    No event is complete without the right connections. We bring every cable, adapter, and accessory you might need, so you can focus on the show and not the wiring.

Our Audio Equipment Rentals

Great sound starts with the right gear and the right support. We help you select, deliver, and run audio systems that fit your venue, schedule, and show plan.

Digital Mixers

Available in large and small formats, our digital mixers provide precise control for events of any size. We build scenes, route inputs, and deliver clean, consistent mixes.

Wireless Microphone Systems

Get clear, reliable wireless mics in every style you need. We handle frequencies, fit each mic to the talent, and monitor batteries and signal throughout your event.

Loudspeakers

Rent speakers that match your venue for even audio coverage and clarity. You get clear vocals, tight low end, and smooth sound without hotspots or feedback.

Live Band Support

Get a complete setup that sounds great on stage. We supply backline mics, stage monitors (or in-ear monitors), clean power, and a dedicated engineer for support.

Press Box

Our press box offers clean feeds to multiple cameras and recorders. We manage levels, reduce noise, and ensure every outlet receives a stable, broadcast-ready signal.

Our Lighting and Effects Equipment Rentals

Our lighting and effects rental sets the mood from the first look to the final cue. We plan looks, deliver the gear, and run cues so your stage reads well in person and on camera.

Wireless Uplights

Wireless uplights add color without cable runs or power drops. We pre-charge, address fixtures, and tune hues to match your brand or theme.

Moving Head Profile Lights

Moving head profiles create crisp beams, spots, and gobos that follow the action. We program movements, shutters, and dimming to keep your stage dynamic and clean.

Pin Spots

Pin spots highlight centerpieces, signage, and product displays with tight focus. We place and aim them to make details pop without washing the room.

Single-Position Ellipsoidal (Leko) Lights

Ellipsoidal lights cut sharp shapes and frame lecterns or stage zones. We set shutters, focus edges, and choose lenses to keep subjects bright and backgrounds controlled.

Gobo Effects

Gobo effects project logos or patterns for an instant visual upgrade. We source custom or stock gobos, align focus, and balance brightness so designs read clearly.

Lighting Controllers

Our lighting consoles run simple looks or full cue stacks with ease. We build show files, patch fixtures, and operate cues for smooth transitions every time.

Pipe and Drape

Pipe and drape cleans sightlines and creates clean backdrops or wings. We deliver, install, and steam drape so your space looks professional and camera-ready.

Hazers and Foggers

Hazers and foggers reveal beams and add depth to your lighting looks. We manage density, placement, and ventilation to keep the air safe and the effect even.
Visual Equipment Rental

Immersive Visual Display Solutions

Strong visuals change the way people experience your event. Our LED wall rentals and displays are designed to grab attention (and keep it), regardless of your crowd or venue.

    Bright, reliable displays that cut through ambient light and big crowds.
