Microphone Cables, Microphone Stands, Instrument Leads and Multicore Systems, Flightcases and Cable Trunks
Our packaged PA Systems include all the cables and hardware needed for most common eventualities (if they are not shown on a PA system's main page, or you are not sure what will be provided, let us know what you need).
All the necessary interconnecting looms for effects and processors are generally included with any of our offboard equipment, whether it is hired as part of a package or separately.
Additional cables and equipment are available with any system or equipment, but may carry a nominal charge. In addition to what is usually provided with any system, the equipment detailed below may be available if it is not already included.
We carry enough balanced XLR cables in convenient lengths to cater for most requirements. Coupled with our stock of unbalanced 1/4′ jack cables and a range of adaptors that can connect most common sources to any input, this means that whatever it is we are always able to plug it in.

By default we assume power amplifiers can be placed near the speakers at the side of the stage or performance area, and adequate speaker cables for this are supplied with all manned systems.

We keep a stock of 230V cables to power any of our equipment from any standard single-phase UK outlet. Most of our PA systems will run from a single 13A supply, and even our largest systems are unlikely to draw more than 13A unless driven hard. However, please speak to us about system power requirements before placing an order if you are unsure what will be needed or will be available at the venue.

Our hire equipment is always transported & delivered in containers suitable for the purpose. Depending on the application, our systems use flightcases manufactured by Buster Cases, Flightcase Warehouse, Swan Flight or MoNoCases. Microphones, DI Boxes and similar equipment are kept and transported in purpose-designed cases made by AKG, MoNoCases, Sennheiser and Shure. Where small numbers are involved, microphone and loudspeaker stands may be delivered in the ubiquitous canvas bag (either from Proel, or Penn Fabrication). Our stock of flightcases and trunks includes:
