Sound & audio rental
Sound system rental and live sound
From one microphone and two speakers to a full concert system and road crew – audio rentals with the engineers who know how to run them.
SR Audio started as a sound company in 2001, and audio is still the heart of what we do. We supply complete sound reinforcement for concerts, conferences, worship services, festivals and private events, and the engineers to mix them.
Need just the gear? We rent speakers, microphones, consoles and monitors for pickup or delivery. Need a full production? We design the system for the room, bring it in, tune it and mix the show.

How it works
From first call to load-out
Tell us about the event
Date, venue, audience size and what you want people to see and hear. A quick call or the quote form is enough to start.
Design and quote
We put together the package and an itemized quote. For bigger productions we draw it in CAD and 3D so you can see it before it is built.
Delivery and setup
Our crew loads in, builds, tests and walks it with you before doors – on schedule, from our own warehouse.
Show and strike
Our engineers and technicians run the show, then strike and load out so the venue gets its room back on time.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I rent sound equipment without an engineer?
Yes. We rent speakers, microphones, mixers and monitors on their own for pickup or delivery. For anything bigger than a small PA we recommend an engineer, and we can include one.
How big an event can you handle?
Our events range from a single microphone to shows with 60,000 people.
Do you provide wireless microphones?
Yes – handheld, lavalier and headset wireless microphones, coordinated so they work reliably in your venue.
Can you record the event?
Yes. We can record every channel of the show for later mixing, or a stereo mix for your video team.
