Why a quote is usually more useful than a flat price

A small speech-only meeting and a music-heavy event for the same number of people may need completely different systems. A short description of the event usually gives a more accurate answer than choosing equipment by headcount alone.

What to send for a fast quote

Include the event date, venue or city, estimated audience size, indoor or outdoor location, number of microphones, event schedule and whether you want a technician to operate the system.
