All our lights are set up to be music activated, this means that there is a small vibration sensor on the back of the light which will activate the different colours, patterns and options of the light when there is music playing. To test a light is working in this mode, plug it in to power, wait a few seconds and tap the outside of the unit until you see the light move along with the tempo of the taps.

All our speakers have an amplifier built in, this means they are easier to set up and handle, they come with all cables required to plug into any DJ mixer, and the process is as simple as plugging them into power, setting the volume on the back and turning them on at the switch!

It is always advisable to use a mixer with a laptop, iPhone, or microphone to a speaker as it will allow the protection of the speaker, and also ease of use. The speakers have a volume adjustment on the back of them, and with the mixer controlling both speakers at the same time it will ensure a nice even sound throughout the event as required. It will also allow a microphone to sound the best through both speaker and control the level of the music and microphone.

Depending on the type of music and the sound that is desired for the event, a sub may or may not be necessary. The easiest way to decide is to consider the use of a sub to be more of a ‘nightclub’ sound, with a strong deep bass output. The speakers themselves will go quite loud but having a subwoofer will fill in the bottom end and make the music sound the best it can.

Using lighting outdoors does not need to be complicated. In fact we have some very popular hire packs that are specifically outdoor lights.

These lights are also ideal for function rooms and events where you can’t use a fog machine as the lights will provide a theme, colour and movement option without the use of the fog machine.

The iPod mixer has a small headphone jack connection, which will allow two devices to be connected at the same time, as well as labelled outputs for the cables to connect in from the speakers. The yellow fader will control the volume of the speakers together, while the red volume knobs will control the volume for the ipods. As there is also a volume control on the iPod or laptop it would be recommended to turn that up to full volume, and then adjust the mixer volumes to get the best output of the speakers through the mixer, this will also allow you to set the volume of the speakers below maximum to protect them as well.

There are two different types of fire detectors, those which detect heated particles in the air (ie. things on fire), and an older style which just detects particles. If the function room that you’re having an event in can’t tell you what type of fire detectors they have, it’s safe to say they will probably be triggered by a fog machine.
