Managed installations
Professional venue sound, without the capital outlay.
Our managed installation service is a long-term hire of professional audio and lighting for your venue, with servicing and call-outs included — so you run the business and we look after the sound.

How managed hire compares
After a visit we usually put forward several system options across a range of budgets, so you can compare like for like.
| Consideration | Managed hire | Buying outright |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Cable materials and deposit only, no labour cost | The full system cost on day one |
| Repairs & replacements | Covered by Audio Feed | Met from your own budget |
| Servicing | Included, with call-outs | Arranged and paid for separately |
| Equipment | Kept up to date | Ages with your venue |
| Special events | Advice and additions on hand | Extras hired separately |
| Your time | Spent running the venue | Spent chasing faults when they happen |
Whichever option you choose, unexpected repair, maintenance and replacement costs become our responsibility rather than yours — and our hire stock covers any temporary extras you need for special events.
