How to Make Your Party Sound Amazing
Whether you’re throwing a birthday party or looking to spice up a work event, quality sound equipment is a must for any get together. But finding the right speaker rental, party rental, and sound equipment in Los Angeles can be tricky. That’s why our audio experts have weighed in on what makes a party sound incredible—so you can rock your next event.
Pump Up the Jams
To set the mood and start the party with a bang, dial up the volume and play some warm, upbeat music. Make sure to keep the volume at a comfortable level so your guests can flirt, joke, and converse. If you’re looking for a hands-off experience, our in-house DJs can craft a unique playlist tailored to your event and be at your service for announcements and speeches.
Don’t be afraid to mix it up and play a variety of genres, from pop to R&B to hip-hop, throughout the party. Spotify and Apple Music both have robust libraries of playlists to choose from. Pro tip: If you use Spotify, make sure the ‘crossfade’ setting is turned on so your songs transition smoothly. Also if you plan to be out of the house we always recommend downloading your playlist offline so you never have to worry about buffering!
Leverage music to create different moods for different parts of your party. Transition from more upbeat, groovy beats for cocktails to slower, more relaxed tunes for dessert.
Get the right speakers
For crisp and clear audio, invest in a good quality sound system. If you’re not ready to drop some heavy cash and buy speakers, look into renting them instead. Look for top-of-the-line name brands like QSC, JBL, and EV (all of which we carry) to ensure high-quality sound!
Speech, speech, speech
In the case a speech or announcement will be made, keep a microphone on hand to ensure everyone can hear what’s being said. We have wired mics for your most cost-effective option as well as wireless handheld microphones for convenience and an array of lavalier and countryman mics for hands-free use!
Sing your heart out
To break the ice and get everyone up and moving, host a karaoke session. Nothing brings people together more than singing along to a song together. Pair your music with a projector and screen or TV (45” to 86”) and turn your party into a karaoke event!
Check the acoustics
If you’re hosting an outdoor party or one in a large space, make sure to consider the acoustics of your space prior to the event. If you aren’t sure how to do that yourself, our technicians will always perform an on-site inspection before the event to ensure your acoustics match up with your expectations.
End the party with a bang
End the night on a high note by playing everyone’s favorite party anthem (think “We Can’t Stop” by Miley Cyrus or “Closing Time” by Semisonic) and inviting everyone to sing along to create a memorable finale to the evening. Here’s a list of Top 20 Songs for Last Song of the Night.
And there you have it, folks! Follow these tips and your party’s audio is sure to be a hit. Just remember to tailor the music to your guests, being mindful of their comfort level with volume and keep the music tasteful for their age and tastes. Happy partying!
