Great access for the audio equipment!

Pacific Club Palm Beach

Jah Bar Dee Why

 

We have been providing sound and Dj equipment for the popular Reggae evenings on Tuesday's at this new venue, great food and an awesome view work well with some modern and classic sounds.
A simple setup of two powered speakers and Pioneer decks, is unobtrusive and patrons can still talk
due to the height and angle of the speakers.

Belgrave Cartel Manly

This is still the Sunday night spot to head to in Manly if you want to mix it with the locals and the modern day Manly Push!

Each week the venue is packed to the rafters with the in crowd  moving in a warm lather to the sounds of local selector Adam Russo.

Adam prefers CDJ 900's and a Behringer NOX 606 mixer  over a Pioneer DJM which is unusual, the mixer is feature packed with filters and effects, and i'm happy as its cheap to replace if a beer falls in!  

Guitars for hire Northern Beaches

And finally just for something different we are building a small range of guitars and basses for hire.

Mainly aimed as props for promo shoots or to brighten up a band shoot rather than for gigs, we have more coming that will look great at your next party or event, starting at $40 per night.

Northern Beaches PA hire summer 2015/2016 weddings events, parties and charity events

This month at Northern Beaches PA Hire has been busy with a wide variety of events

November is always a busy time to get married and there is no place better than the Northern beaches of Sydney.

Our two favorite venues  The Boathouse and Long Reef Golf Club have kept us busy with varied weddings and functions.

We have also discovered a new gem Milestone events at Manly, this family run business has secured the Sargent's Mess at North Head. this venue is set in the ground of the old army barracks and is a great place for a wedding as you can be in a private place and you can be as noisy as you like!!

There is also a bus to take everyone home at the end.

Superb attention to detail with this family run business means flexibility and a great event every time

A Walk for Brain Cancer 2015 Manly

For the 4th year we organised the sound system at this event at Shelley beach 4 powerful   QSC k series speakers sent the message and the music to warm up the crowd at this worthwhile event  

CELEBRITIES  including rugby league great Brad Fittler, Miss Universe Australia Monika Radulovic and a few Manly Sea Eagles will be joining a huge charity walk starting at Shelly Beach on Sunday.

They will all be supporting the Walk4BrainCancer, which aims to raise $150,000 for the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation.

Clontarf’s Bec Lucas, 23, started the event five years ago in honour of her father, Tony, who had just died from the terrible disease.

“Dad very much believed in the work of the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation and channelled a lot of his energy into raising funds and awareness,” she said.

“I wanted to continue his legacy and also make a difference, so that other families don’t have to go through what (our family) did.

“The first year, we hoped to get 200 walkers and raise $20,000, but we got 800 walkers and raised $80,000.”

International college of Management Manly, Royal Far West School Christmas party 2015

Weddings and Events in November at Northern Beaches PA Hire

Pacific Club Wedding, SurfAid Sumba and Halloween

A busy Weekend with Northern Beaches PA Hire

Summer has arrived and we are feeling the heat in the sunny northern beaches of Sydney. The warm weather means weddings and outdoor events are kicking in as the longer days and warm evenings are more agreeable than winter evenings.

The Pacific Club in Palm Beach 

A great spot for a wedding with a great 50's style Colonial fit out it surprised us with its laid back style but efficient staff and wonderful views.

   
We organised a Roland BA 55 battery powered system to play music and allow the 50 or so guests to hear the celebrant and the couple exchange vows. High wind was a problem so a dense pop filter was slipped over the microphone to calm the noise from the wind.

We also setup powered speakers with Ipod inputs at the Pacific Club for the reception in a courtyard to allow the reveling to keep on till late into the night.

Palm Beach is a great wedding destination if you are thinking of getting married there take into account the travel time and parking as it can be tricky on a weekend!

    Surfaid Sumba fund raiser at Bill Buckle's private home

Surfaid is a great organisation and is making changes around the world with its clean drinking water initiatives and other projects.

Surfaid Sumba was raising awareness and money to improve the drinking water in the the surfing mecca.

We provided a projector and screen along with microphone and speakers to show a short video and allow the speakers to be heard in this wonderful beach side setting. The main priority for the event was simplicity and fail safe performance on the night  so we tested all the kit before the event and checked it all again insitu 

The event was a great success and the profile of Surfaid Sumba was raised locally.

Halloween and Northern Beaches PA Hire    

We were running flat out all weekend to various Halloween   parties and bands playing at house parties and small venues, what i noticed is the problems of feedback through the mics in a lounge room with wooden floors and no damping from any surface was a bit tricky with a room full of demons and monsters!

Behringer B112w update from the hire dept

We have hired 14 of the workhorse Behringer B112w's  for 2 years now out every weekend and are very impressed with how they have survived the general abuse they have received.

These speakers come back covered in sand, beer, spirits and wet through to a point where i'm slightly reluctant to turn them on!

So far we have had one tweeter blow which is impressive, the cases look god still and the bluetooth function works perfectly , if you are after a decent cheap speaker that will last then you cant go far wrong with these

Positive Feedback

Always nice to have happy customers, it costs us nothing to look after each person that comes to us for advice to hire or purchase. Contact us on 0407 498 970  

Joel from Northern Beaches PA Hire was unbelievably helpful when I purchased my portable PA speaker system. He was extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming with his advice.

He made me feel at ease and confident with the technology, giving me personal tips and followed up to check I was comfortable afterwards. 

I am extremely happy with the service I received from Northern Beaches PA Hire & Joel wen't above and beyond.

DJ gear hire Northern Beaches Sydney CDJ 2000 Nexus CDJ 900's DJM Mixers

DJ equipment hire specialists Northern Beaches Sydney

Djing and the Dj culture is now mainstream in most youth culture groups, from humble beginnings it is now a part of the landscape of many peoples lives, whether Djing themselves or attending Bars, Clubs and Festivals dedicated to the art.

Northern Beaches founder DJ NAKED started in 1987 in the UK playing Disco and Funk to an uneducated crowd drinking beer and fighting on a Saturday night!

The Summer Of Love in 1989 changed everything just as Punk and before that Elvis Presley did for the youth of the time.

Moving to London and Playing at Heaven, The Astoria and Subterranean Club along with gigs in Brighton, Bristol and the south coast on Technics 1200's with Vinyl and Mixers that often did not have Crossfaders things moved at an amazing pace.

Ibiza, Detroit, New York and London were pushing the boundaries of music and technology in the field. The Northern beaches of Sydney were hugely influential unknown to most with the development of the Fairlight Sampler. 

This Sampler used in the 80's by Herbie Hancock on his track  "Rockit" designed by Tony Furse made the sound of the 80's  they even had an office in French's Forest!

The 90's and digital technology did away with small companies such as this to be dominated finally by Pioneer and its ground breaking CDJ and DJM range in the early 2000's.

Compact disks gave way to USB sticks and a new affordable professional Dj platform was allowing anyone to mix, remix and produce music.

At Northern Beaches PA hire we have moved with this from the CDJ 1000 MK3 to the CDJ 2000 Nexus which is today's benchmark Dj tool.

We offer them at a competitive $120 each per 24 hrs  with DJM Mixers from $50.

If you need this level of sophisticated Dj equipment call us today we offer a great service which includes setup and training for the novice, we also have Technics 1200's for the purist.

The setup below includes Traktor Scratch Pro

We also can put you in touch with great local and city based Dj's such as Alex Mac, August, Seany B, Toby Neal, Illya, Kid Kenobi, Jack Mccord and other top names in the industry

Weddings at Long Reef Golf Club and The Boathouse 

If you are planning to get married this Summer or Autumn then start by making a list of all the things you will need, somewhere at the bottom or scribbled in the side will be "audio" quite often with a question mark.

Usually the groom will be tasked to "sort something out with his mate in a band who has a speaker in the garage"

This speaker will either not work or be turned into a rabbit hutch or something similar and will let you down on the day.

 We normally get a panicked phone call a week out from a bride that has taken things into her own hands at the 11th hour to make sure the job of "audio" gets sorted.

We can always help out and make it happen and have over 50 powered speakers, 20 wireless mics 

and 10 battery powered systems ready to go and can be delivered anywhere on the Northern Beaches.

If you want to talk to us early in the planning we can offer free advice and access to our network of proven companies involved in the Wedding industry we know all the venues and supply companies on the Beaches and can help you make decisions early in the planning that will save time money and stress.

Good For Manly with Northern Beaches PA Hire and Ulterior Motive

Sept 26th Manly Oval, 500 people 3 musicians an Independent Councillor on a mission to stop Manly Council dig up this patch of green and "Put Up A Parking Lot" 

Councillor Candy Bingham is always a voice for the people's view of what is good for Manly. Sometimes opposing the Council's stance on redevelopment in the area she engages the people who live and pay the rates into the council coffers.

This protest was no exception 500 - 600 people turned out in unpredictable weather to listen local super tight trio Ulterior Motive warm up the crowd with some great tracks from the 70's that had the Baby Boomers singing along to Sweet Home Alabama etc. culminating with a rendition of Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi with emphasis on the "Parking lot".

  

We used minimal kit  3 Behringer B112w powered Speakers with a Eurorack mixer, Beta 58 and Sm 58 mics. The guys turned up and played and we quickly worked out that playing in front of a roofed Grandstand had a unique effect on the sound especially with the speakers on high stands filling the space with surprisingly clear  and warm sound from such a small improvised rig.

The three band members who are all professional muso's commented on the sound from the small speakers i had chosen to use , mainly because of the weather idecided to use light small speakers that could handle some rain and punishment and not cost the earth to replace. 

I have quickly found the Behringer B112 speaker a versatile reliable speaker with around 14 hired each week some coming back looking like they had been attacked by a group of Kindergarten kids, super reliable with one tweeter out of 14 blown once in a year of hire that works for me! Compare that with 14 JBL speakers and you would have a hard time keeping your running costs that low.

The event was a success for all concerned and we packed away dry and without incident.

Ulterior Motive  are a great band for the thinking persons wedding or party, playing popular diverse quality music which can be hard to find these days.

Kids Party Hire Northern Beaches Disco at St Mary's School Manly

The Fun was non stop at The St Mary's School Disco In Manly

200 people gathered in the playground to hear the teachers rock the party.

we used a pair of JBL PRX 612s which was plenty of sound in the courtyard environment and allowed the parents to be in a quiet spot at the side!

 A Pioneer DJM 800 connected to two Macbook Airs streaming You Tube and Vimeo on to the screen and through the mixer as audio allowed some fun for these first time Djs.

Small led light rig added some magic with some great looking Led par cans under the stage.

Warringah Council War Veterans event Dee Why

A great event marking the end of the Second World War September 2nd 1945  

The mayor of Warringah Michael Regan was on hand to proceedings on a lovely Spring day

at Dee Why Beach.

The numbers my be dwindling but the message of war and the sacrifice of the people who served and supported the campaign is not lost at these events.

The ever reliable Roland BA 55 with Wireless mic and ipod connection  provided ample clear sound to the 50 or so people present.
