There’s a misconception that small events don’t need audio setups like larger ones do. However, you don’t have to be putting together a concert with thousands of audience members to need clear audio. Microphones are necessary for all kinds of events, big or small. Here are a few factors to consider to help you determine if your small event needs a microphone rental service.
- Number of attendees. Even smaller events need a microphone rental. Generally speaking, if you have more than 30 attendees, you’ll want to rent a microphone. This ensures that people will be able to hear a presenter’s message over shuffling, coughing, and other noises that people naturally make and are amplified with more people making them.
- Location of event. A small room without any possibility for echo or your voice getting lost may not necessarily need a microphone, but the larger the room for your event is, the more likely you are to need a microphone rental service. If your event is outdoors, even with a small audience, you will want to rent a microphone. You never know when the wind will pick up or other outdoor noises will be louder than a presenter.
- Length of speech or performance. The human voice can only project louder than usual for so long. Raising your voice may be okay for brief announcements, but for any speech or performance longer than a couple minutes, it’s important to have a microphone ready to preserve the presenter’s voice and make sure it doesn’t falter or strain.
