Pub Quiz

A pub quiz that runs smoothly and clearly

A pub quiz is all about having fun with a touch of competition, but that only works when everyone can hear the quizmaster clearly and catch the questions in time. In a crowded room full of chatting teams, that quickly goes wrong: the sound echoes, the questions do not land and the running score stays unclear. The rounds lose their momentum and the quizmaster has to keep repeating.

HuurAV takes care of the technology for pub quizzes in Amsterdam and the surrounding area. We arrange the setup so the quizmaster stays front and centre and comes through everywhere, while the screen keeps the questions and scores readable for every team. You do not need any technical know-how yourself.

Sound and screen tuned to each other

Sound is the heart of a successful pub quiz. We tune the system so the quizmaster’s voice and the music clips carry evenly through the room, without a loud spot near the speakers or a dead corner at the back. The wireless microphone gives the quizmaster the freedom to move between the tables without sacrificing clarity. Want to see what is possible? Take a look at our range of sound equipment.

Alongside the sound, the visuals provide the overview. On a large screen or projection you show the questions, picture rounds and running scores so every team reads along comfortably. We place the screen where it is clearly visible from across the room and make sure the image is sharp and bright. That keeps the teams engaged and lets the quizmaster keep up the pace.

Practical points to consider for a pub quiz

At a pub quiz the teams sit close together and there is plenty of chatter between rounds. That calls for a sound set that rises just above the buzz without becoming deafening, and for a microphone that keeps the quizmaster’s voice clear. We also pay attention to how the tables are arranged in relation to the screen, so nobody has to look into a light source and the running score stays readable everywhere. We arrange the connection for your own laptop or quiz software in advance too, so the questions appear on the screen without any fuss.

From setup to breakdown, all taken care of

We start with a short review of the room, the number of teams and how the quiz will unfold. From there we put together a clear proposal. On the day itself we set up well before the start, test the sound and the screen and run through the connection for your questions so everything is right. During the quiz we keep an eye on the technology and afterwards we pack everything up again. Want to know more about that on-site support? Take a look at our technical support.
