- Column PA + Sub
- $70 / day • $240 / week

Column PA systems, wireless handheld and lapel microphones and a 12-channel mixer — enough to cover a wedding ceremony, a banquet room or an outdoor announcement without hiring an AV company.
Which PA You Actually Need
The honest answer for most events is smaller than people expect. Two systems cover nearly everything Moore Rental Service gets asked about.
The PA Maui 5 column system with subwoofer at $70 a day is the one to take for a wedding reception, a banquet hall, a school program or any room with music as well as speech. A column array throws sound down the length of a room rather than blasting the first three rows, so the back table hears the toast at the same volume as the head table. The subwoofer matters only if you are playing music; for speech alone it is optional weight.
The rechargeable tabletop PA at $45 a day is the underrated one. It runs on battery, so it needs no outlet and no cord run, which makes it the right call for a graveside service, an outdoor ceremony in a field, a park announcement, a coach at a tournament or anywhere the nearest power is a hundred feet away. It will not fill a ballroom, but it covers a crowd of a hundred people outdoors comfortably.
The Mackie ProFX12v3 mixer at $60 a day only earns its keep when you have more than two inputs to balance — a band, a laptop for music plus two microphones, or a ceremony with a soloist. For one microphone and a phone playing a playlist, plug straight into the PA and skip the mixer entirely.
Microphones: Handheld, Lapel and Wired
Shure PGX4 wireless handheld — $45 / day
The default for toasts, announcements, auctions and anything passed between speakers. No cable to trip over and no range anxiety in a normal-sized room.
Shure PGX4 wireless lapel — $45 / day
Clips to a jacket or dress. This is the one for an officiant, a presenter who needs both hands, or a wedding ceremony where a visible microphone would show in every photograph.
Sennheiser e835 handheld — $17 / day
A wired workhorse at a third of the price. If the speaker is staying at a podium anyway, the cable costs nothing in convenience and saves real money. Add a 25-foot XLR cable at $15 and a tripod stand at $15.
A wooden podium with speaker is available at $25 per day from the convention and meeting equipment category, which pairs naturally with a wired microphone and a stand for a ceremony or an awards night.
Set-Up Advice Worth Reading Before the Day
- Test it in the room, not in the driveway. A system that sounds fine in an empty hall behaves differently with 150 bodies absorbing sound. Set up an hour early and walk to the back wall while someone speaks.
- Speakers go in front of the microphone, never behind it. This is the single most common cause of the squeal. Position the PA ahead of where the speaker stands and pointed away from them.
- Charge the battery unit overnight. The rechargeable tabletop PA holds a long charge but not an infinite one, and there is no outlet at a graveside.
- Bring spare batteries for the wireless microphones. They take standard AA cells and they always die mid-sentence rather than between speakers.
- Outdoors, cut your expectations in half. Sound disappears into open air with no walls to reflect it. If you are covering a large outdoor crowd, take the column PA rather than the tabletop and put it on a stand at head height.
- Take the mixer only if you need it. An extra box means extra cables, extra setup time and one more thing that can be set wrong. Two inputs or fewer, go direct.

Renting a PA System in Arlington — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent a PA system in Arlington, TX?
The Maui 5 column PA with subwoofer rents for $70 per day or $240 per week, and the rechargeable tabletop PA is $45 per day or $120 per week. Wireless microphones are $45 per day each and a wired handheld is $17. Rates are subject to change — call (817) 277-1141 to confirm.
What size PA do I need for a wedding reception?
For an indoor reception with music and toasts, the Maui 5 column system with subwoofer is the right choice — a column array carries speech to the back of a room evenly. Pair it with one wireless handheld for toasts and, if there is a ceremony, a lapel microphone for the officiant.
Do you rent a PA system that works without electricity?
Yes. The rechargeable tabletop PA runs on an internal battery, which makes it the practical option for graveside services, outdoor ceremonies, park events and sports fields where there is no outlet nearby. Charge it fully the night before, since there is no way to top it up on site.
What is the difference between the handheld and the lapel microphone?
Both are Shure PGX4 wireless units at $45 per day. Choose handheld when the microphone gets passed between speakers for toasts, announcements or an auction. Choose lapel when the speaker needs both hands free or when a visible microphone would appear in every ceremony photograph.
Do I need the mixer?
Only if you have more than two inputs to balance — a band, or music from a laptop alongside two live microphones. For a single microphone and a phone playing a playlist, plug directly into the PA. The mixer adds setup time and one more thing to set incorrectly.
How do I stop the microphone from squealing?
Feedback almost always means the speakers are behind or beside the microphone. Move the PA in front of where the person stands and angle it away from them, then bring the volume up gradually rather than starting loud. Test in the room, with people in it if you can.
