Equipment Hire — PA, Lighting, Staging & AV Hire | ABP Audiovisual
// Equipment Hire

The right gear for the day.

PA, lighting, staging and AV — hired with an engineer who delivers, sets it up and tunes it so it sounds right in the room, then runs it on the day. Quality gear, checked and ready, looked after end to end.

ALWAYS CREWED

Every hire comes with an engineer — we deliver, rig, line-check and tune it, run it on the day, then pack it down. You get gear that's set up properly and sounds right in the room, not a pile of boxes to figure out.

PA systems — three tiers.

From a spoken-word event to a full concert. Every tier is fully crewed — the day rate covers the gear, and an engineer to set it up, tune it and run it is charged at the on‑site rate shown. Full per‑event pricing is on the rates page.
