At R & J PA Hire – Professional Event Sound & Commentary Services
At R & J PA Hire, we specialise in providing high-quality public address (PA) systems, commentary units, and event communication solutions for shows, rallies, and outdoor gatherings across East Yorkshire and beyond. With many years of experience supporting everything from small community days to large multi-arena events, we understand how important clear and reliable sound is in keeping visitors informed, engaged, and safe. Our family-run business takes pride in delivering personal service, dependable equipment, and a professional approach that event organisers can trust year after year.
Public Address & Commentary Units
Our fully equipped commentary units are designed to give announcers and commentators a comfortable and practical base on-site. Each unit comes with a built-in desk, seating, mains power, and the option to connect directly to our sound systems. By combining these with strategically placed outdoor loudspeakers, we make sure announcements, safety messages, and event commentary are heard clearly throughout your venue. Whether it’s a horse racing meeting, a country fair, or a large arena demonstration, our PA setups ensure no one misses the action.
We also take safety seriously. All our installations follow Health and Safety Executive (HSE) event safety guidance, giving organisers confidence that their PA provision meets the right standards.
Outdoor Event Sound Systems
Every event is different, which is why we offer tailored PA packages. We have systems suitable for small gatherings, such as village galas and fun runs, right up to powerful long-throw solutions for large outdoor arenas. By carefully planning speaker placement and using reliable industry-standard equipment, we achieve even coverage across your site without overwhelming certain areas or leaving gaps in sound.
Our team has years of experience working with organisers to deliver professional results. We also stay up to date with developments from the Institute of Sound and Communication Engineers, ensuring we use best practices in sound system design and setup.
Two-Way Radios & Event Communication
Running an event involves more than just making sure the visitors can hear. Your team also needs to stay in constant contact across the site. We provide two-way radios for hire, offering simple, reliable communication for stewards, car park attendants, commentary teams, and organisers. Radios can be supplied with chargers, spare batteries, and headsets, helping your team operate smoothly even on long event days.
Supporting Charities & Community Events
We’re proud to play our part in supporting local fundraising and charity events. Over the years we’ve worked with many community organisations, providing sound systems and commentary units at reduced or donated rates to help worthy causes. We regularly support Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Dove House Hospice, two charities that do incredible work in our region. Giving something back is important to us, and we’re always pleased to help community events succeed.
Local & Regional Coverage
Although we are based in East Yorkshire, our services extend across the wider region. We regularly cover events in Beverley, Driffield, Hull, Bridlington, York, Scarborough and beyond. From steam rallies and vintage vehicle shows to equestrian competitions, cycling races, and motorsport meetings, our experience is broad and adaptable. Many of the events we support are also promoted through Visit East Yorkshire, highlighting just how important outdoor events are to local tourism and community life.
