Questions
Simple Sound System rental FAQs
How much does it cost to rent a Simple Sound System in Chicago?
$11 each for one event day. Delivery and pickup (usually $150-$400 per order), setup, a damage waiver (about 10%) and sales tax are added for your venue, so a delivered order typically costs 35-60% more than the rental rates alone. Multi-day rentals are quoted on request.
Can you deliver a Simple Sound System to my venue?
Yes. We arrange delivery, setup and pickup anywhere in Chicago & suburbs, including Evanston, Oak Park, Oak Brook, Schaumburg, Naperville and nearby towns. Tell us about stairs, elevators or load-in windows and we include them in the quote.
How far ahead should I reserve?
For May to October weekends, reserve 2-4 months ahead; tents, specialty chairs and dance floors go first. For other dates, 2-4 weeks is usually enough. Your quote holds nothing until you approve it.
Do I need a DJ for a microphone and speaker?
No. A powered speaker with a wireless microphone is plug-and-play and is enough for toasts, ceremonies and announcements.
What size projector screen do I need?
Make the screen height about one sixth of the distance to the furthest seat: a 6' screen for a room about 36' deep.
