Radio mic hire

[sleah]

Quick question:

Roughly how much could a school expect to pay for 16ch of radio mics (packs & headsets) for a 7~10 day hire? Excluding any license cost. Line6/trantec 4.16/Senn ew100 type quality.

 

TIA

Simon

I would expect £20-30 per day per unit depending on where in the country. Three day week so £960 - £1440. Maybe a bit more for more than seven days and maybe something for delivery, collection, setup etc. I wouldn't necessarily expect it to be cheaper for a school as they are likely to need more support than pro users and may also not look after it so well. Factor in batteries too.

If this is a regular requirement, I'd advise buying at those rates.

works out at £4K at this price:

But these are not the best prices and CPC only list ch70

I don't think you can get 16 simultaneous channels using a Trantec S4.16 system - maybe you could do it using a mix of different RF channel versions?

It's just something I'm looking in to and just wanted base prices to see what is feasible at what cost, it's currently potentially a one-off so not looking at purchasing or worrying about details of what works with what, just the bottom line ** laughs out loud ** :)

We are lucky enough to have 10 Sennheiser G4's at the school I am at, not trying to take business from anyone but we have hired ours out to others for around the £350 mark
