FAQ's
Can I play music from a 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. Mobile audio can be via bluetooth, USBc or thunderbolt.
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.
