Speaker tower hire Auckland

Speaker towers that lift the PA above the crowd

Ground-support towers that put line array speakers where they belong — high, aimed and clear of the audience. No venue rigging points, no scaffold, no dead spots at the back of the field.

Speaker towers

The difference between hearing the band and hearing the crowd

Stack speakers on the ground at an outdoor event and the first few rows get everything while the back of the field gets the crowd. Towers lift the line array over head height so the coverage reaches the whole audience evenly, at a sensible volume down the front.

Our towers are free-standing ground support, so they work anywhere — sports fields, car parks, showgrounds, parks — with no hanging points and none of the time or cost of a scaffold build.

When you need them

Towers earn their place at these events

Outdoor festivals & concerts

A field full of people absorbs sound. Height is the only way to get the back rows the same mix as the front.

Large crowds, wide sites

Where the audience spreads sideways as well as back, towers either side of the stage cover the whole area.

Sites with no rigging points

Parks, sports grounds and car parks have nothing to hang from. Ground support solves it without scaffold.

Speech intelligibility

Civic events, prizegivings and race starts where people have to hear announcements clearly over distance.

Better together

Towers, stage and cover as one build

Most of our tower jobs go out with the rest of the outdoor package: modular staging at the height you need, the 8m × 10m inflatable cover over the top, monitors and a digital desk at front of house, power distribution, and the truck and crew to deliver the lot.

One supplier, one quote, one crew who have built the combination many times.

Stephen's advice

If your event is outdoors and bigger than a few hundred people, ask me about towers before you ask about bigger speakers. Height fixes problems that volume only makes worse.

FAQ

Speaker tower questions

A reasonably level, firm surface — grass, sports fields, gravel or sealed car parks all work. We ballast the towers appropriately for the surface and the forecast.

High enough to clear the crowd and aim the array at the audience. The exact height depends on the site and audience depth, which we work out from your site details — ask and we will spec it.

Indoors or for a few hundred people, ground stacks are usually fine. Outdoors with a deep or wide audience, towers make a bigger difference than a bigger PA.

Towers go out as part of an audio package with our own line array, set up and tuned by our crew. That way the rigging, the array and the aiming are all on us.

Yes. Towers are ballasted and monitored on the day like any temporary structure, and we plan the build around the forecast.
