Event Site Sound

Sophie

Not all events require a stage but will still require sound

If your event doesn’t require a stage, you will probably still require some sort of PA system to communicate with your audience, to keep them informed of safety information, or of what is happening on the event site. You may also have an arena for performances where the viewing is all around and a standard PA system wouldn't work for you.


Many outdoor events require a public address system to provide amplified sound over possibly hundreds of metres and the system needs to be designed specifically for being out in the elements and to withstand the rigors of the British weather. Each event is different and will therefore have different requirements and layouts when it comes to site sound installations.

It’s important to consider what the system will be used for and who the sound needs to reach, to be able to design a layout specific to that event. If there are volume level restrictions on site too, you may need to consider a speaker system that will cover your audience to make sure they can all hear but that the level remains low enough to adhere to restrictions. These are called Delay Line Systems.


If you think you may need this for your event site, give us a call today to discuss how we can help.

At Koncept we use a mix of conventional speakers and long throw PA horns to cover event sites. This ensures the sound is clear and can be heard by large audiences dispersed over a large area. Whether you are looking for something to cover the site for occasional announcement or want to commentate on an arena packed with activities, we have everything that you need. We can also provide equipment for event sites that need multiple PA systems, to cover activities that may require their own source of sound.


One important thing to consider when planning the sound for an event site, is public safety. We often use tripods and cables but when this is not suitable, we use monopoles and buried cables to ensure everyone is safe from tripping of hurting themselves. Be sure to check with your supplier or to discuss with us how we can minimise risk at your event.
