StageKit Hire confirmation and technical schedule Speech Sound Package · from USD 320
Speech PA for 180, delivered and crewed, Friday
Park Royal warehouse to a Bloomsbury lecture theatre. Delivered, set, operated, struck.
A speech package for 180 people is a small job that goes wrong in exactly one way: the venue turns out not to have the power or the access that everyone assumed. Clause 04 is the list your venue contact needs to confirm, and it takes them five minutes.
Speech sound package with a technician, delivered Friday 20 November from 13:00, event at 18:30, struck from 20:30. Two things need the venue's written confirmation by 13 November: a 16 A supply at the stage end, and lift access from the loading bay to level 2.

The package
What is coming
| Item | Quantity | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Full range tops on stands | 2 | d&b E8, ample for 180 in a lecture theatre |
| Subs | 2 | Speech does not need them. Sent for the walk-in music |
| Digital mixing desk | 1 | 16 channel, operated by our technician |
| Handheld radio mics | 2 | Shure, on separate frequencies |
| Lavalier radio mics | 2 | For the two panel speakers |
| Spare radio mic | 1 | Included, not charged |
| Lectern gooseneck mic | 1 | Wired. More reliable than radio for a lectern |
| Induction loop | 1 | Perimeter loop, covers the seated area |
| Stage monitors | 2 | Low level, for the panel |
| Cable, stands, distribution | 1 set | Everything needed to connect the above |
Radio frequencies are coordinated in advance and re-scanned on site. Bloomsbury has heavy radio traffic and the scan at 13:00 is the reason the crew arrives five and a half hours before the event rather than two.

The venue
Two confirmations needed by 13 November
| Requirement | Why | If not |
|---|---|---|
| 16 A single phase supply at the stage end | The system draws about 11 A. A 13 A socket shared with the house lighting will trip | We bring a generator, which needs outdoor siting and USD 240 |
| Lift access from the loading bay to level 2 | Two subs and a desk case do not go up a stair well safely | Crew doubles, USD 220, and load-in starts at 11:00 |
| Loading bay booked 13:00 to 14:00 | Bloomsbury is red route. A van cannot wait | Parking fine, and a late start |
| Building access until 22:00 | Strike finishes about 21:45 | Overnight storage and a Saturday collection |
| Someone with a key at 13:00 | Not at 13:30 | Crew waits, charged at USD 60 an hour |
The first two are the ones that change the price. Send this table to your venue contact. Every venue can answer all five in one email and almost none of them volunteer the answers unasked.
