Exceptional service

Exceptional service, and quality of the JTS microphones we bought. Joe couldn't have been more helpful, answering emails 24 hours a day it seemed. Highly recommended

Excellent equipment!

Used sound hire for along time now for our two school shows a year. The equipment always arrives on time, in great condition ready to just plug into our sound mixer no messing around needed. The microphones sound great and have received great customer service from Joe! Can't wait for our next show in a couple of weeks to use them again! - Belmont Community School

Top class equipment and service

Top class equipment and an even better service.
recently hired a set of headset microphones for a theatre production, by far the best we have ever used and transformed our production to the next level.
Will definitely be using again in November.

We have hired microphones for our school show for the last 4 years from Sound Hire. Communication with Joe is excellent... he is always quick to get back to us and provides great value for money. The microphones arrived well packed and ready to set up with our sound system. Cannot imagine hiring from anywhere else now!

First time to use Soud Hire over in…

First time to use Soud Hire over in Richmond. We needed 20 headset radio mics for a production of Sister Act, and from the first engagement through to the confirmation of the return, Sound Hire couldn't have been a better company to work with.

We were given great advice at the start which ensured we got the most appropriate kit, spares were included to cover the unforseen and the courier delivery and collection was seemless.

Will definitely use again. Thanks.

Sound Hire are excellent

Sound Hire are excellent. I use them for everything from buying connectors to desks, speakers, mics, install and everything else. They always have time to chat and have come up with some innovative solutions which I never would have thought of on my own. Would recommend to anybody.
