PA hire Auckland: audio system hire engineered by Eleven Audio
When you search for PA hire in Auckland you are usually after two things at once: the right boxes for the room, and someone who can make them sit properly once they are flown. Electric Boogie does both. Our audio system hire is engineered by our in-house audio arm Eleven Audio, so the PA that lands on your load-in has been chosen, designed and tuned by the same people who run it on the day.
We work in line array and point source, scaled to the venue rather than to a hire list. Eleven Audio designs the system for the space, sets the coverage and tunes it in, then we put experienced engineers on FOH and monitors so the mix holds from the front rail to the back of the room. The amplification is d&b audiotechnik, run by crew who know the platform end to end.
This is a capability Electric Boogie provides directly. You deal with one crew from the first conversation through system design, load-in, tuning, the show and pack-out. No subcontracting the sound out and hoping it turns up: the audio is ours, the engineering is ours, and the people behind both are the ones standing at the desk.

Common questions
- Do you just drop off the PA, or do you run it?
- We run it. The audio system hire comes with engineering: Eleven Audio designs and tunes the system, and we put crew on FOH and monitors. You can hire the system fully engineered, which is how most of our work goes out.
- What PA do you use, and how do you pick it?
- Line array or point source depending on the room, on d&b audiotechnik amplification. Rather than send a fixed package, Eleven Audio specifies and scales the system to the venue and the rider, then tunes it in on the day.
- Who is Eleven Audio and how does it relate to Electric Boogie?
- Eleven Audio is our in-house audio arm, handling PA system design and tuning. It is part of Electric Boogie, so the sound is engineered by specialists who do nothing else, as part of one crew.
