Renting a monitor is the key to a tight on-stage performance: musicians, DJs and speakers hear their own sound clearly and therefore perform more accurately and with greater confidence. At SpeakerVerhuur.nl you choose a complete set or individual equipment, with plug-and-play setup, professional quality and delivery in Amsterdam and the region.
A good monitor decides whether a performance sounds tight or messy. Where the front-of-house speakers serve the audience, the monitor makes sure the artist, DJ or speaker on stage hears exactly what is happening. Anyone who rents a monitor from SpeakerVerhuur.nl chooses professional equipment, a plug-and-play setup and personal advice, so you can perform without technical worries. We deliver in Amsterdam and the region and are happy to advise on the right setup for your situation.
A stage monitor (also called a floor monitor or wedge) is a speaker aimed at the artist instead of the audience. Without a monitor a musician mainly hears the room reverb and only a vague version of their own instrument, which leads to singing out of tune or playing off the beat. A monitor gives instant audible feedback of your own voice, instrument or mix, making the performance far more accurate. For presentations, a monitor also helps the speaker hear themselves clearly in a large room.
We offer several types. The classic wedge monitor sits angled on the floor and is ideal for musicians and singers. An active monitor has the amplifier built in and is quick to place, while a passive monitor needs a separate amplifier. Drummers and keyboard players appreciate a monitor with strong low end, while speakers often only need a compact model. In-ear monitoring is also available for anyone wanting a clean stage or maximum control.
Monitors are used at live band shows, acoustic sessions, choirs, DJ sets, dance performances and theatre productions. They are equally essential at band rehearsals in a practice room, at corporate presentations on stage and at church services or lectures. In short: wherever someone stands on stage and needs to hear themselves clearly, a monitor comes in handy.
You can rent a complete set or individual equipment from us. Unsure about cables, stands or a mixer to control the monitor mix? Then we put together a complete set so everything is matched. Already own equipment and just need one or two extra monitors? Then you get exactly what you need. That way you never pay for more than you use.
The power you need depends on the room and the type of performance. An intimate acoustic set in a small venue only needs a light monitor, while a loud band in a large hall calls for more powerful monitors. The number of monitors matters too: ideally every musician wants their own mix. Tell us the line-up and the location and we will advise, with no obligation, on the right number and power.
Our monitors are plug-and-play: connect to the mixer or source, switch on and it works. With the complete set we include clear instructions and the right cables. Prefer to be fully unburdened? Then on-site installation in Amsterdam and the region can be arranged, so you can focus entirely on the performance.
Reserving is simple, online or by phone. You collect the monitors yourself or have them delivered in Amsterdam and the region. We schedule delivery and collection around your event, so you have plenty of time to set up and test everything. Reserve in good time, because demand is high especially at weekends and during festival season.
1. What is the difference between a monitor and a regular speaker? A monitor is aimed at the artist so you can hear yourself, while a regular speaker serves the audience in the room.
2. How many monitors do I need? Ideally each musician or singer has their own monitor with their own mix; a solo artist or speaker usually needs just one.
3. Can I rent a single monitor? Yes, you rent a complete set or individual equipment, so a single monitor as an addition to your own setup is fine.
4. What is an active monitor? An active monitor has the amplifier built in, so you connect it directly to the source or mixer without a separate amplifier.
5. Does in-ear monitoring work better than a wedge? In-ear gives a cleaner stage and more control per person, while a wedge is quicker to set up and feels more familiar to many musicians.
6. Can I control the monitor mix myself? Yes, with a mixer you set what each monitor plays; we can include one in the complete set on request.
7. Is a monitor suitable for a DJ? Absolutely, DJs use a DJ monitor to mix the beat tightly, separate from the room speakers.
8. How much power do I need? That depends on the room and the volume; we advise without obligation based on your line-up and location.
