If you are putting on an event that requires a PA system, I can help. I supply, deliver & setup (plus engineer & mix if required) high quality PA systems, ideal for small/medium sized venues & halls.

The PA & any other hired equipment will be delivered to the venue, setup & sound checked, with a quick demo on how to use it & how to plug in any of your own music playback equipment you might wish to use.

FAQ's

What can I plug into the PA?

You can connect microphones, mp3 music players, laptops, phones & musical instruments into our PA systems, but please check with us before connecting a device which you are unsure about as it might damage our equipment.

All hired mixing desks comes with Bluetooth inputs so you can stream loud & quality music wirelessly, directly to your audience from your laptop, tablet or phone.

Can I run a party just from my phone, laptop or tablet?

Yes! But if you intend to use a mobile as your primary music source, it’s probably best to put it into airplane mode, so that any phone calls, or text / WhatsApp messages aren’t sent through the PA.

We are getting married in the Yorkshire Dales, can you supply a PA system for speeches & so we can play our own music?

Yes, I hire PA systems for the growing Yorkshire Dales weddings industry & over the years have hired sound systems to most of the leading local wedding venues including:

  • Allerton Castle
  • Broughton Hall
  • Coniston Spa Hotel
  • Chevin Country Park Hotel Otley
  • Cruck Barn Appletreewick
  • Eden at Broughton
  • East Riddlesden Hall

  • Kilnsey Park Estate & Kilnsey Crag
  • Ripley Castle
  • The Priests House, Barden
  • The Sun Pavilion, Harrogate
  • The Devonshire Arms, Bolton Abbey
  • Thornton Hall
  • Utopia at Broughton

Can I dismantle or move the PA

No. dismantling or moving the pa system can only be done by us, it invalidates our insurance & we have had issues in the past where a PA system that has been moved has been connected up incorrectly. You may lose your deposit if any hired sound equipment is damaged.

Will you operate the PA for us?

Yes! As well as having great ears, I am calm & discrete.

Can you supply bigger PA systems?

I can supply PA systems 20KW & above, contact me for details.

Jake provided live sound for our Women in business event in Harrogate. Despite a tight schedule & quick changeover of guest speakers, the sound out front was seamless. Jake is a cool, calm professional & I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
