DJ Equipment Rental FAQ

 

Do I need one speaker or two?

It depends on the number of people at your event. For up to 50 people, one speaker may be adequate. For more than 50 people, two speakers are recommended.

 

Do I need a mixer?

If you just want to connect your smartphone or laptop to a powered speaker to play music, you don't need a separate mixer. The speaker in the Party Blast Package has a built-in two channel mixer to adjust the tone and volume, and add a microphone if you need one. You can connect your music source to the speaker by the included AUX cable or by Bluetooth.

If you plan on using more than one speaker, multiple music sources and microphones, or if you are a "hands-on" DJ who likes to fine-tune the sound quality of each song, a mixer is essential. The Patio Party and Pro DJ Packages include a four channel Bluetooth-enabled mixer.

 

What is the size, power and weight of the speakers?

Rental packages include 8, 10, 12 or 15 inch 1000 watt powered speakers. Depending on size, each speaker is 20 to 28 inches high and weighs 20 to 40 lbs.


What size speaker do I need?

The larger the speaker, the deeper the base. For playing dance music at high volume, the 12" or 15" speaker is recommended. For speaking or playing music at moderate volume, go with the 8" or 10" speaker.

 

Can these speakers be used with any type of device that plays music?

The speakers can be used with any device that has a standard 3.5mm earphone output or is Bluetooth enabled. The included aux cable connects your music device to the speaker or mixer. If the Bluetooth option is used to connect your music device to the Party Blast or Patio Party Package, an aux cable is not needed.

 

Are all required audio and power cables included in the rental packages?

Yes. However, if you are using an iPhone that has a "lightning" audio output, you will need a "lightning to 3.5mm" adapter. An adapter is included with your rental, but using the adapter that came with your phone is recommended. If you connect using Bluetooth, no aux cable adapter is needed.

 

Can a typical household electrical outlet provide the power to operate the equipment?

Yes, as long as no major appliances are on the same circuit.

 

Will you explain how to set up and use the equipment when I pick it up?

Yes. Set up and use of the equipment will be explained at pick-up.

 

 

Am I responsible if the equipment is damaged or missing while in my possession?

Yes. If the equipment is returned damaged or equipment is missing, you will be responsible for the full replacement value.

 

 

Is there a minimum age required to rent equipment?

Yes. The renter must be at least 21 years of age and must sign a rental agreement.

 

 

Can I pick up the equipment the day before my event and return it the day after for the one day rental fee, and can I return on a Sunday?

Yes to both questions.

 

 

Can the equipment fit in an average size vehicle?

Most rental packages can be transported in an average size passenger vehicle.

 

 

Can I have the equipment delivered and set up?

Rental rates are based on your picking up and returning the equipment to our northeast Phoenix location. There is an extra charge for delivery and set-up and delivery service is dependent on your date and location.

 

 

What is the procedure to rent equipment?

Click Send a Message. Describe your event including date, location, number of people, and your intended purpose for the equipment. We will confirm availability and recommend the equipment package that best meets your needs. A $50 credit card deposit by phone is needed to reserve your equipment and is applied to the total rental cost. We will email you a confirmation. The balance of payment will be due at pick-up.

 

 

Can I pay for the rental with cash or a check?

No. The only form of payment accepted is a major credit card. Your credit card serves as the security deposit for your rental.
