Platinum Promotions have always made the investment in purchasing the best equipment on the market to ensure 1st class performance and dependable reliability.
All equipment is maintained in accordance with ISO 9002 and PAT tested annually (most venues insist upon this for Health & Safety reasons).
PA System
Cerwin Vega V152 speakers are in many experts opinion the best solution to mobile set-ups. They are required to be transportable with minimal detraction from sound quality. Cerwin Vega has a proven track record with bullet proof reliability, punchy bass, pleasing mid range and crystal clear top end.
Mackie M1400 Amplifiers again are industry standard and are renowned for powerful and reliable delivery.
Cerwin Vega's speakers and Mackie amps provide the ideal sound package without distortion for events of up to 300 guests. For larger events, additional Speakers, Bass Bins and Amps can be bridged together to provide up to 10,000 Watts; sufficient for events with 2,000 guests. For events of 300 or more please call our booking office to discuss in greater detail.
DJs will play background music at an appropriate level so as not to intrude on conversation and work within the limits of any sound level meters on site.
UHF Cordless Microphones are also available for speeches allowing portability and comfort for the speaker.
Lighting
Lighting is very important as it dramatically enhances the atmosphere of any venue and encourages guests to dance. Again, Platinum use industry standard lighting as used at top end night clubs to project cool beams of light across the dancefloor and multi-coloured patterns across the walls and ceilings.
The intelligent projection lighting rig supplied as standard is certainly a lot more classier than a typical mobile disco set-up. Abstract Twister 4s (High Power) are interlinked to project synchronous patterns and colours in time to the music. Geni XTC Scanner/Splitters project rainbow like beams of light on the dance floor, again in time to the music. UV lighting is also supplied as standard.
Optional Extras
Should customers wish to make their discotheque package to be bit more special or to upgrade the equipment for larger events, then we have a wide selection of optional extras available. These consist of:-
A full on Lighting Package consisting of an experienced Video Jockey, vision mixers, projectors and screens. Johnnie Smith worked with Adamski and KLF as their Video Jockey in the 90's.
Sony 1080p 40" Widescreen Monitors with various kaleidoscopic patterns changing with the music. An uber cool backdrop to the DJ.
Martin Lighting Rig - the best lighting available. The patterns are far more intricate, effects breathtaking and movement second to none. This is the same brand of lighting as used on the TV show - X Factor.
1500 Watt Cerwin Vega Bass Bins are available to give a real thump to the bass and allow the V152 or PSX800's to concentrate on mid range and treble. This further detracts from any distortion and coupled up with the crossover can be tuned for any room size.
Fog machines are highly recommended, they dramatically improve the light show by producing a very fine medium to refract the lighting beams giving a laser type effect. Fog machines are only £19 to hire.
Lasers are very effective when the background lighting is very dark and in conjunction with use of fog machines. The lasers Platinum supply has 48 different patterns and move in relation to the music.
Bubble Machines are very popular for the first dance at weddings giving a romantic effect for the photographs. Young children love them and they add a contrast to the lighting when used sparingly.
Confetti Cannons are very effective for approximately 1 minute per firing particularly when used in conjunction with a Strobe. Customers can even order their own Corporate colours or Wedding theme colours.
Mirror Balls (24 inch) for a glitzy addition to the dance floor decor. Particularly effective with the Fog Machine.
Starcloths are popular DJ Booth Frontages with a twinkle effect.
Strobe Cannons
Extra Twister 4 HP Intelligent Projection lighting can be supplied on request.
Par Can lighting is effective as backdrop lighting to the back of the stage area behind the DJ. Par Cans give a consistent flood of colour and can be used as uplighters.
Reliability
One of the main reasons Platinum purchase industry standard equipment, other than performance, is reliability. All the equipment is rigorously tested for total reliability and has a proven track record.
Platinum DJs carry a full set of spares to repair most problems. In the event of more technical breakdowns, Platinum's Back-up Van and Engineer can be called out to deliver replacement equipment. A guaranteed service.
