Home › Services › Equipment Hire › PA System Hire
A single active speaker, hired on its own or in pairs. The amplifier is built in, so it takes one mains lead and one signal lead and nothing else. Useful when you need to add coverage rather than hire a whole system.
Sometimes you do not need a package. You need one more speaker for the far end of a hall, a foldback wedge so the cast can hear the band, or a second pair for a wider room.
The TS210 is a straightforward active box: mains in, signal in, level control on the back. It sits on a stand, on a stage as foldback, or on a shelf. Because the amplifier is inside it, there is no rack to hire alongside it and nothing to match up.
Take one, a pair, or several — whatever the room needs. If you are building a system from scratch rather than filling a gap, the Small PA Package bundles a pair with stands and a mixer and works out simpler.
Where the TS210 is the sensible box for speech and smaller rooms, the TS315 is the one to take when the room grows or the music matters. The 15-inch driver and 2000 watts of peak Class D power reach down to a genuine 43 Hz, so backing tracks and live playback carry real bass weight without a separate subwoofer, and 134 dB of peak output is enough for a full school hall or a marquee from a pair on stands. It takes the same two mic or line inputs on combo XLR sockets as the TS210, links out to the next cabinet, and sits on a standard speaker pole — though at 18.8 kg it is a two-person lift to head height where the TS210 is a one-hand carry. The amplifier is passively cooled, so there is no fan noise sitting behind quiet dialogue. If you are not sure which size you need, tell us the room and the audience and we will say honestly which box, or which mix of the two, will do it.

No. The amplifier is built into the speaker. It takes a mains lead and a signal lead and that is all.
Yes, that is a common use. Laid on its side or on a low stand facing the performers, it lets the cast hear the backing track.
If you need a full system, yes — the Small PA Package includes stands and a mixer and costs less than assembling the parts. Single speakers are for filling gaps.
