Sunshine Coast Sound

Collect from Noosaville, or delivered across the Coast

PA and wireless microphone hire.

Speakers, subs, mixers, Sennheiser wireless and microphones. Collect from Noosaville, or we deliver and set up for a flat fee. Prices are on this page.

Dry hire

You collect from us in Noosaville, set up yourself and return it the next morning. Before you leave we show you how it connects, label anything that isn't obvious, and give you a number to ring. It's the cheapest way to hire and right for anyone comfortable plugging in a speaker.

Everything goes out with its cables, stands and a power lead. Wireless goes out with fresh batteries and a spare set.

Delivered and set up

We bring it, set it up, test it with you and leave it running, or stay and operate it if the event warrants. A flat delivery and set-up fee covers the Sunshine Coast from Noosa to Caloundra and the hinterland.

For weddings, corporate events and shows, the packages on the other pages bundle this in at a single price.

Why most of the fleet is Meyer Sound

Most of our powered PA is Meyer Sound: self-powered speakers designed for theatres and touring productions, where a voice has to be clear at the back of the room, not just loud at the front. Every speaker is serviced, tested before it goes out and sent with the right cables.

If you only need something loud for a backyard, the party kit is cheaper and we'll point you there.

Tested before every hireEvery speaker, radio and console powered up and checked the day before it goes out.
Cables in the caseThe lead you need is in there, plus a spare.
Frequencies that workWireless set to clear channels for where you're using it.
A number to ringDry hire comes with a phone number that gets answered on the night.

Common questions

What does dry hire mean?

You collect from Noosaville, set up yourself and return it. We show you how it connects before you leave and you have a phone number if something is unclear.

How long is a day?

A day rate covers one event: collect the afternoon before, return the morning after. Friday to Monday is 1.5 days. A week is 2.5 days.

Do I need a bond or ID?

Photo ID and a card on file for dry hire. No bond is charged; you're responsible for the gear while it's with you.

Why are your speakers more expensive than the party-hire ones?

They're Meyer Sound, serviced and tested before every hire, and they go out with the right cables. They're built to be clear at the back of the room, not just loud at the front.

Can you deliver and set up instead?

Yes. A flat delivery and set-up fee covers the Coast, and we test it with you before we leave, or stay and run it.
