Our Sound Gear

A quality sound system is used featuring an Apple Macbook Pro (with backup), Bose speakers and Denon professional CD players. Back-up equipment is also brought to each event.

Our Equipment

Partytime Productions uses superior quality equipment to provide a great sound! Here is the equipment we use from sound source to speaker.

A catalog with thousands of songs is stored on an Macbook Pro (with backup), allowing quick access to requested music. Custom client play-lists are sometimes programmed to play for dinner and other background music situations. The Apple music MP4 format is a step above MP3 used in other computers, and almost indistinguishable from CD quality sound.

The Mackie mixing board is a choice of many professional bands and just plain “sounds better” than many of the “made for DJs” boards being used. Not only is the sound crisp and clean, the multiple microphone inputs allow for clients or their guests to “plug-in” guitars and microphones for a token live song or two.

For indoor functions, the Bose L1 Model 2 speaker system may be used. Either one or two of these systems can be used to provide the most advanced sound available today. They are simply amazing!

A Shure wireless microphone system is used. We have had no problems with interference with this set-up, and the sound is clear and strong.

The “little things” matter in sound system design

The ac power cords coming from the wall use contractor grade 12/3 gauge wire. In the same manner, the wire connections between the various components of the sound system must be good quality. Cables are large gauge (meaning the wire size on the inside) for the best sound to the speakers.

It's all about Volume Control and EQ

The Most Important Part - The DJ is actually the most important component of the sound system. He is the one who will control the volume and equalization of the sound and at different stages of the party. We often have compliments from the guests about sound levels. And if you don’t like the volume, tell us - we’ll change it!

You can bring a super sound system to a gig, but if the controls are not set properly the sound quality can be less than optimal. We have the experience to properly locate the speakers and adjust the system so it works to perfection. We understand that the acoustics in some rooms impose limitations on sound levels and tone equalization. We work to be sure that the sound is great for the room your party is in.

Backup Sound Equipment

Backup sound equipment is kept in the truck at each party, so your party is never more than a few minutes from getting “back on-line” should a malfunction occur.

Attire

You might not think of this as equipment, but the DJ will come dressed appropriately for your function, whether that means a full tux for a wedding or formal event, or shorts and a Hawaiian shirt for a theme party.

Chris, We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did for our wedding at the Bedford Village Inn. We had so many compliments on the music, and the favors were fun! I would certainly recommend you for any function. I look forward to working with you in the future.
