Frequently Asked Questions
What PA system do I need for a corporate event in Malaysia?
For small boardroom presentations (20-50 pax), a compact active speaker system with a wireless lapel or handheld mic suffices. Medium-scale events (100-300 pax) need a full PA rig with 4x speakers and a digital mixing console. Large-scale events like annual dinners and conferences (500+ pax) require line array systems with subwoofers and dedicated FOH engineering.
How much does corporate PA rental cost in Malaysia?
Corporate PA rental pricing depends on scale, duration, and technical requirements. Pricing varies significantly between a half-day boardroom setup and a full-day annual dinner production. Contact us via WhatsApp at +60 14-328 8196 — we’ll scope your event and provide a detailed quote, typically within a few hours.
Can SoundHouz handle multi-day corporate events?
Yes. We regularly support multi-day conferences, seminars, and roadshows. Our team maintains the equipment overnight, conducts daily soundchecks before sessions begin, and adjusts the setup between plenary and breakout sessions if needed. Multi-day bookings get priority scheduling and a dedicated point-of-contact.
Do you provide AV beyond just sound for corporate events?
Yes, our full corporate AV packages include PA system, LED wall or projection screen, wireless microphones (delegate and presenter), confidence monitors, stage lighting, and a qualified AV technician. You deal with one vendor instead of coordinating separately with audio, visual, and lighting teams.
What’s the difference between a corporate conference setup and an annual dinner setup?
A conference prioritises speech clarity and even coverage across all seats — typically a distributed speaker system with good high-frequency detail and low feedback risk. An annual dinner prioritises full-range music reproduction, high SPL for entertainment, and dramatic visual impact. The PA system, speaker placement, and mixing approach differ significantly between these two formats.
