Comparing Rental Options

Dry Hire (Samo Najam) vs Full Service

Dry Hire is cheaper but consider:

• You’re responsible for setup
• You troubleshoot any issues
• No backup if something fails
• Deposit required

Full Service costs more but includes:

• Professional setup by experienced technicians
• On-site support during event
• Backup equipment available
• Peace of mind

Our recommendation: For events under 50 guests where you or a friend has audio experience, dry hire works fine. For weddings, corporate events, or anything over 100 guests, full service pays for itself in reliability.

Renting vs Buying

Quick math for DJs and event organizers considering purchase:

Equipment	Rental Cost	Purchase Cost	Break-even
Bose F1 System	EUR 370/day	EUR 2,500	~7 events
Pioneer CDJ-3000 pair	EUR 280/day	EUR 4,800	~17 events
Full DJ Setup	EUR 400/day	EUR 7,500	~19 events

Consider that ownership also includes:

• Maintenance and repairs
• Storage space
• Insurance
• Depreciation
• Transport vehicle

For occasional events (under 10/year), renting usually makes more financial sense.

What’s included in the rental price?

Our prices include delivery within Split (15km), all necessary cables, speaker stands, and WhatsApp support. Technician services and lighting are quoted separately.

Can I rent just speakers without a DJ setup?

Absolutely. We offer standalone PA systems for speeches, presentations, background music, and live performances. You don’t need to rent DJ equipment unless you want it.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (June-September), book 2-4 weeks ahead for common equipment. Popular items like Pioneer CDJ-3000s can book out 4-6 weeks in advance for weekend events. Off-season is more flexible.

Do you offer dry hire (samo najam)?

Yes, we offer both dry hire (you pick up and set up) and full-service rental (we deliver, set up, and optionally operate). Dry hire requires a deposit.

What happens if equipment fails during my event?

Full-service rentals include backup components for critical equipment. Dry-hire clients can add backup equipment for 20-30% extra. We provide 24/7 WhatsApp support for troubleshooting.

Can you recommend the right system for my venue?

Yes! Tell us your venue, guest count, and event type. We’ll recommend appropriate equipment. No charge for consultation.
