Description
The S1 Speech Sound package is our simplest sound system for small events that need clear, reliable voice amplification without unnecessary complexity. It is designed for ceremonies, presentations, announcements, and small gatherings where one microphone and a single speaker is enough.
This package is easy to set up and operate, making it a strong option for self-run rentals. Inside the booking flow, you can choose your microphone and stand, then add upgrades like additional microphones or speakers if your event needs more coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this package best used for?
This package is ideal for simple speech amplification, including ceremonies, presentations, and small gatherings.
Can this be used outdoors?
Yes, for small outdoor events. If there is no available power, you will need to add a generator.
Can I play music from my phone or laptop?
Yes. A playback input is included for common devices (3.5mm headphone jack). If only one speaker is rented, a mono-summing cable will be provided so that both the left and right channel of audio will come from the same speaker.
Can I add more microphones?
Yes. The audio mixer built into the speaker handles two inputs. This can be either one microphone and one music source or two microphones. You can upgrade to the small mixer to handle up to 14 inputs, however it may also make sense to upgrade to our more capable S2 package.
Is this enough for a large audience?
Usually not. For outdoor events with more than 50 people or with more coverage needs, the S2 package is a better fit.
Is this easy to set up?
Yes. This is one of the simplest systems we offer and is designed for quick setup and operation. Set up instructions are included.
