Event Size:
When selecting a projector screen, you need to take into account the size of your event, and remember that the larger the event, the larger your screen will need to be.
Intimate events and small spaces call for a tripod screen and 3000 lumens data projector. Additional to front projection, clients can opt for rear projection when space is tight. This option allows more room for seating, whilst maintaining a great presentation quality. Tripod projector screen hire is optimum for events of up to 100 people.
When working with a large space, consider hiring multiple screens for maximum impact. For larger auditorium spaces that command attention IHAV provides screens as large as 20X11 ft. To view the full range of projector screens available for hire,  click here, or contact us to help you find the best fit.

Brightness:
A good rule of thumb when selecting a data projector is to remember that it will be competing with any natural light in the event space, so in order to produce a well-focussed image, brighter rooms will require more powerful projection. In regular lighting conditions, consider a 4500 lumens projector. When working with highly lit areas a 7000 lumens projector will ensure your images and text stay sharp and crisp. A full list of our data projectors can be found here.

A frensel light is a standard essential for your lighting needs as it casts even illumination across a wide area, providing a soft flattering light. When paired together frensel lights blend seamlessly to illuminate a subject.

Stage lighting with Profile Lighting

Follow spots are perfect for any variety night or gala performance. They are manually controlled lights which pivot or track a performer on stage, and have a wide range, providing light from corner to corner of stage. Follow spots can be used creatively to direct an audience’s focus where you want it, and can provide an austere effect when used for musical and theatrical performances, or any time when a performer will be utilising the full length of the stage. Inhouse Audiovisual can also provide operators for follow spot lights, ensuring a high quality result.

Follow Spot

When you want to provide ambient and atmospheric light, consider the use of LED and gobo lighting options. LED multi par lights are available in a full spectrum of colours and a range of programing options. Use a static, single colour option to provide dramatic uplighting, or get creative with a range of scintillating colours, perfect for a dance floor or concert. Gobo projection adds another dimension to traditional mood lighting, projecting customised images onto large scale areas such as walls or ceilings. Gobos give you the option to display your company’s logo or personal message, and like LED lights, they have a full range of colour options.

When you want a light which can work overtime it’s worth the investment of hiring a moving head light. While they are more expensive than other lighting options, moving head lights perform several functions: They can provide the even, standard lighting of a frensel or follow spot, and also the atmospheric lighting conditions of LED lights.

Moving Head Lighting

Inhouse Audiovisual’s moving head lights also come with a series of fixed and rotating gobos, giving you even more creative lighting options.Whether your event is big or small, Inhouse Audiovisual has the tools to put together the best lighting package for your needs.

When you really want to make a statement at your gala night, it’s well worth the investment to hire a moving head light. This light offers you a range of programmable lighting options- full coverage wash lighting can illuminate speakers or follow award recipients on stage, removing the need for a standard frensel or follow spot light. When it’s time for live performances, a moving head light can provide ambient and atmospheric lighting conditions to complement the on-stage action. The light can cycle through a full spectrum of colours thanks to its CMY colour mixing system, allowing for creative split-colour combinations. Want even more variety? A moving head can add intricate wash and profile patterns to your stage lighting hire through the use of fixed and rotating gobos.

Perhaps you have a product launch coming up and you want to reinforce brand identity? Inhouse Audiovisual can cater for your corporate event lighting needs as well! Spotlight your product with crisp light from one of our source four zoom profile lights. The crisp, demarcated edge will draw audience’s eyes straight to your product, providing a professional finish. For atmospheric lighting, consider commissioning your own personalised gobos.

Of course, you can create dramatic lighting on any budget, and LED multi par lights are an effective way to light a room without breaking the budget. Just like moving heads, these lights are available with a range of colour and programming options, but LED lights are most effective when used for uplighting, as demonstrated at recent event at the Sofitel, Melbourne. Our client opted for dramatic purple uplights which cast a distinct beam of colour. LED uplights look visually striking when paired with our black velvet drape, adding a professional feel to your award night.

Luckily, Inhouse Audiovisual has the industry know-how to help you with staging hire Sydney and Australia- wide. All our stages come with the option of professional black stage skirting, and the addition of stairs as needed. Stages can be set at heights of 300, 600 and 900 mm. For taller stage set-ups, we recommend the use of a camera riser to elevate back of house equipment to a similar viewing angle to your stage. We’re also able to configure the stage setup to your personal needs, whether you’re interested in traditional or catwalk stage options.

Small stage Hire

For portable stage hire, we recommend our small corporate stage which measures 3.6x 1.8 metres and supports between one and three speakers. Small stages are a good choice for training seminars and other small events. For this sized stage, we recommend the use of a lectern and traditional microphone setup.

Medium Corporate Stage

Our medium corporate stage measures 4.8×2.4 metres and can accommodate five people. This size stage is ideal for conferences and panel events as it can accommodate tables flip boards, and any visual aids you might need.

Large Corporate Stage

Our large corporate stage measures 7.2×2.4 metres, and would suit events in larger venues. It’s the perfect choice for product launches, brand activations and fashion shows, as a large stage creates maximum impact. It allows ease of movement, which can be aided by the use of wireless headset or lapel style microphones.

“Inhouse Audio really go the extra mile with their services. They walked me through a range of event recording options, and really cared about finding the best option for my needs. My recordings have a high level of clarity which I couldn’t have achieved on my own.”

When you’ve gone to the effort of organising your event, you want to make sure that your recordings are of the best quality too. When you hire a stage, why not consider the addition of a camera riser? Camera risers are small 1.2 m squared pieces of stage which can be placed at the back of a venue for recording purposes. Much the same way that raked seating in cinemas allows people in the back a clear view to the screen, a camera riser elevates recording equipment above ground level. A camera riser can be placed at 300, 600 or 900mm high to give the cameraman a higher perspective, ensuring that any wandering guests remain out of the camera shot.

Like all our event stage hire, camera risers can be booked with the addition of unobtrusive black skirting, which is recommended for taller set ups. We can also provide you with additional extras like steps as needed.

Perhaps your function, conference or party is drawing nearer and you haven’t had the time to think about event recording. Not to worry, Inhouse Audiovisual can take care of that too. We can capture your event using the latest technology, and even provide live event streaming to broadcast your content around the globe! Whether you’re recording for posterity or training purposes, Inhouse Audiovisual has you covered. Other event companies might offer stage hire in Sydney, Brisbane and other capital cities, but customers choose us because we can offer consistent and expedient services right around Australia. Our pricing is competitive and our service is unparalleled.

The choice of microphone hire depends on the event type and the needs of the presenters and speakers themselves, as different people have different speaking styles that require particular audio setups and PA hire options.

Lectern or Table Microphone – A lectern mic may be most appropriate for speeches that will be performed from a stationary position, such as at a conference or hotel. It will give the audience a fixed point of focus during the event and the speaker arrangement and audio mixing process easier. It also allows the presenter to keep their hands free during their speech.

Wireless Lapel Microphone – A small microphone that clips onto clothing and is attached to a battery-powered transmitter and receiver that can be attached to the speaker’s belt. A lapel mic is suitable for presentations in which the speaker needs mobility, wants to walk around on stage and keep their hands free. It is also ideal for when the microphone needs to be hidden from view.

Wireless Handheld Microphone – A popular choice for most live audio presentations, the wireless handheld mic is powered by batteries and comes with a separate receiver. It has low handling noise, making it ideal for events where the microphone will be moved or passed around, such as a Q&A type event or live music performance.

Wireless Headset Microphone – A convenient mic that offers complete freedom of movement and avoids the risk of contact with clothing that comes with a lapel mic, as well as better sound quality. It also gives presenters the ability to keep their hands free and allows for more dramatic movement. It is also skin-coloured to make it less obtrusive and visible to the audience.

InHouse Audio Visual provide an extensive range of industry standard microphone options, meaning we have the right choice for your requirements. Our microphones can be paired together with any PA system hire to best suit your event. We specialize in gala dinners, meetings, conferences and many other event types, so if you’re looking for audio hire we have the perfect solution, whatever the occasion.

The Size of the Audience – To make sure your message is communicated clearly to everyone in the room it is vital that you choose the right PA system for your audience. A two speaker PA system is generally a sensible option for audience sizes up to 150 people and extra speakers can be added as the audience size increases.

The acoustics and layout of a venue can drastically affect sound quality. The size of the venue impacts reverberation times and reflected sound, which can be remedied by using the correct audio setup. Walls and other surfaces can result in reflected sound, which muddies the clarity of the original sound. It’s important to choose the correct location and layout for the PA system to minimize reflected sound.

The Position of the Stage – The position of the microphone is affected by the stage location. Place PA speakers in front of the microphone to reduce feedback and reflected sound.

The Position of the Speakers – The placement of speakers is crucial for consistent volume and quality. Position them in direct line of sight for the audience and use an audio mixer to ensure consistent sound levels throughout the venue.t presenters and speakers require different microphone setups so for more information, check out our blog on what type of Microphone do I need.

InHouse Audio Visual specialises in providing the best PA systems for corporate events, meetings, and gala dinners in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and all over Australia.
