Under a dry hire, you are hiring just the equipment, and you\u2019ll be responsible for operating it for the duration of your hire. This is perfect for when you have in-house capability to operate the equipment, and it saves you lots of money.<\/p>

Most AV hire companies only do wet hire, which means that they provide the services and people to operate the AV equipment for the event. Wet hires are more expensive because they include the hire of the equipment plus the people to operate it, which is a waste of money if you can do it yourself.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
