Silent disco

A dance party without noise nuisance

A silent disco flips the idea of a party around: the music lives in the headphones, not in the room. Every guest gets a wireless headset and picks from several channels themselves. Take the headphones off and all you hear is chatter and dancing feet. That makes a silent disco ideal in places where sound limits are strict, in buildings with homes next door, or simply late at night, when a normal system would make far too much noise.

HuurAV.nl handles the complete setup in Amsterdam and the surrounding area. We provide the headphones, the transmitters per channel and the sound system, along with the technicians who install it, test it and keep it running. That way you get a full-blown party without having to worry about nuisance or an enforcement officer at the door.

Technical setup on location

We start with a quick review of the space, the number of guests and how many channels you want. On the day itself we set up well before the start: we position the transmitters, charge and count the headphones, and test every channel individually for range and clear sound and intelligibility. This matters especially at a silent disco, because a weak signal or a dropout shows up straight away on the dance floor.

Because the sound does not fill the room, the lighting does even more for the atmosphere. With lighting for corporate events we bring the dance floor to life and make it feel like a real party after all. If you want to explore the individual disciplines further, you will find more about our options on the sound page. For picking up equipment on its own, we point you to SpeakerVerhuur.nl.

Practical points to keep in mind

A silent disco calls for a few things that work differently from an ordinary party. We want the handout and collection of the headphones to run smoothly, especially with a larger group, so we arrange that at the entrance with clear agreements. Count on someone to manage the channels and keep an eye on the batteries; our technical support stays present for as long as the party lasts.

Think about the mix of channels too. With several styles side by side you cater to a broad crowd, and it creates a fun effect when people dance to different tracks right next to each other. Whether you supply playlists or bring your own DJ, we coordinate that in advance so everything ends up on the right channels.
