ASKED QUESTIONS
What is audiovisual equipment hire?
Audiovisual equipment hire is the rental of professional sound, lighting, and visual equipment, such as microphones, speakers, projectors, LED screens, and staging for a specific event, instead of buying it. At EMS Events, we provide complete AV hire in central London, including equipment, delivery, setup, and technical support for conferences, awards, and other corporate events.
What audiovisual equipment can I hire?
You can hire everything from projectors, LED screens and laptops to PA systems, microphones, lighting, staging, cameras and playback kits. We match the equipment to your event size, venue and format so you’re not over- or underspecified.
How far in advance should I book AV equipment?
For larger conferences and shows, it’s best to confirm AV at least 4–6 weeks before the event. Smaller meetings can often be supported at shorter notice, but the earlier you book, the more choice you’ll have on equipment and crew.
Do you offer dry hire, or do you need to supply technicians as well?
We can do both. If you have an in-house team, we can provide dry hire; if you prefer full support, we’ll supply technicians to set up, operate and de-rig everything.
Do you deliver, set up and collect the AV equipment?
Yes. We can deliver to your venue, install and test the system, and return to de-rig once the event is finished. This reduces risk and saves your team having to troubleshoot unfamiliar kit.
Can you support events outside Central London?
Yes, while we’re based in Central London, we regularly support events across Greater London and the wider UK, subject to logistics and availability. Travel and accommodation, if required, are included transparently in your quote.
What details do you need to provide an accurate AV quote?
We’ll usually ask for your event date, venue, timings, expected guest numbers, room layout, content types (slides, video, live demo, etc.), and whether you need recording or streaming. The more detail you provide, the more precise and cost-efficient the proposal.
What does audio-visual equipment include?
Audio-visual (AV) equipment includes technology for sound and visuals, such as microphones, speakers, projectors, screens (LED walls, monitors), cameras, and lighting, plus the control systems (mixers, switchers, cabling) that tie them together to create immersive experiences for presentations, events, and communication.
