ONE WORLD MANY VOICES · ROCHDALE
Sound & PA Services in Rochdale
Make sure your speakers, presenters and performers can be heard clearly. One World Many Voices provides professional sound and PA services for events in Rochdale, with the setup planned around your venue, audience and event requirements.
We are a Rochdale-based non-profit organisation. Income from our professional services supports our community activities and projects.
Clear sound for your event
Good event sound is about more than making something louder. Speech needs to be understandable, microphones need to suit the people using them and the sound system needs to be appropriate for the room, audience and type of event.
We discuss your venue, programme, number of speakers or performers and available facilities before agreeing the equipment and production requirements.
Sound support planned around your event
From spoken-word events to presentations and community gatherings, we plan the sound setup around what needs to be heard and how the event will operate.
PA System Setup
We provide and configure PA systems for events, with speaker placement and the sound setup planned around the venue, audience and programme requirements.
Wireless Microphones
Wireless microphones give presenters, speakers and performers greater freedom to move during an event. The number and type of microphones required are agreed according to the event requirements and available equipment.
Wired Microphones
Wired microphones provide a practical and reliable option for speeches, presentations, interviews and fixed speaking positions, depending on the event setup.
Sound Mixing
We manage and balance microphones and other agreed audio sources throughout the event, helping speakers, presentations and other programme audio to be heard clearly by the audience.
Speeches & Presentations
Sound support for conferences, community meetings, educational events, presentations and other spoken-word programmes where clear, understandable speech is important.
Panel Discussions & Interviews
We plan microphone requirements for interviews, conversations and panel discussions involving multiple contributors, with the setup agreed around the format, number of participants and venue.
Event Audio Playback
Music, presentation audio and other supplied material can be incorporated into the event sound setup when agreed in advance, subject to compatible formats, connections and event requirements.
Sound for Live Streaming & Video
When One World Many Voices is also providing video production or live streaming, event audio can be incorporated into the video production so that the sound and picture form part of the same production workflow.
The details that make event sound work
Planning with your organisers
We discuss the running order, speakers, presenters, performers and other sound requirements before the event so that the agreed setup can be planned appropriately.
A setup that fits the venue
Room size, audience numbers, speaker positions, available power, venue access and existing equipment can all affect the sound setup. We consider these practical requirements when planning the production.
Microphones for your event
Different events require different microphone arrangements. The number and type of microphones provided for your event will be confirmed as part of the agreed quotation and production scope.
Working with venue equipment
Where a venue already has a sound system or other audio equipment, we can discuss whether it is suitable for the proposed production and whether it can be integrated with our setup. Compatibility and access should be confirmed before the event.
Local support with a community purpose
One World Many Voices is based in Rochdale and works to support local stories and community activity. Income from our professional services is reinvested into our community activities and projects.
Sound levels and venue requirements
Sound requirements can vary considerably between venues and events. Venue restrictions, available power, room acoustics, audience size and other conditions can affect the final setup. We assess these requirements during planning and agree the appropriate equipment and production scope before the event.
A clear plan for your event sound
This is an example approach. The exact requirements depend on your event, venue, audience and agreed quotation.
01. Tell us about your event
Share the event type, venue, date, timings, expected audience, number of speakers or performers and any known sound requirements.
02. Plan the sound setup
Discuss microphones, speaker positions, audio sources, venue access, available power and any existing venue equipment that may form part of the production.
03. Prepare and test
Where appropriate, prepare the agreed sound system and carry out relevant microphone, playback and audio checks before the event begins.
04. Support the event
Operate the agreed sound setup according to the event programme and production scope.
05. Complete the production
At the end of the event, we conclude the agreed sound production and, where included in the project scope, discuss or provide any agreed additional audio or media requirements.
