Sports halls and grounds are acoustically demanding – that is exactly what we equip for: a PA that keeps announcements and music intelligible even in reverberant halls, wireless microphones for hosting and award ceremonies, lighting for show moments and, on request, camera and big screen so every moment of the competition is visible to everyone.

We have equipped equestrian tournaments, youth tournaments, an e-darts tournament with a full stage show and the streamed award show of a professional ice hockey league – and clubs get compact dry-hire packages for self-collection. For football broadcasts on a big screen see our public viewing page, for races on the road cycling races & marathons.

Club tournament & sports festival (dry hire)

Mobile PA with a wireless microphone for announcements, music and the award ceremony – for self-collection from our Wesseling warehouse from about €120, based on real project experience. All individual prices are public in the rental shop.

Sports event with stage and programme

Stage, PA, lighting and hosting technology for tournaments with an audience – such productions typically range from €700 to €3,500 at photon, like a recent e-darts tournament with a complete stage show.

Sports gala, awards & broadcast

Athlete award nights and award shows with stage lighting, LED wall, clips and, on request, a livestream are quoted individually – real productions range from €4,500 to €15,000.

From our real sports projects: compact club packages as dry hire from about €120, productions with stage, sound and lighting typically €700 to €3,500, large sports galas and broadcast productions €4,500 to €15,000. After your enquiry you receive a fixed quote – all individual prices are public in the rental shop.

Send us the date, venue and programme via our enquiry form – we get back to you with a concrete proposal and a fixed price. On the day we set up before the competition starts, tune the system to the hall or grounds and, on request, stay until the award ceremony.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does equipment for a sports event cost?

From our real projects: club packages as dry hire from about €120, productions with stage, sound and lighting typically €700 to €3,500, sports galas with broadcast €4,500 to €15,000. A fixed quote follows the enquiry.

Does it work in a reverberant sports hall?

Yes – we choose speaker positions and aiming so speech stays intelligible, and tune the system on site. In sports halls, that makes the difference between an announcement and noise.

Can you show scores and replays on a big screen?

Yes – via LED wall or screen with playback; on request we also handle camera and vision mixing up to a livestream.

Do we get equipment for the award ceremony?

Of course – wireless microphones, music playback and lighting for the podium moment are almost always part of a sports event.

Does it work outdoors on the sports ground?

Yes – with weatherproof setups and the right power supply; for road races and runs see our cycling races & marathons page.
