The Complete AV Equipment Checklist for a Product Launch in Raleigh

Planning a Product Launch in Raleigh? Whether you're unveiling a new tech product at the Raleigh Convention Center or hosting an intimate reveal in a downtown loft, the right AV setup turns a good event into a brand-defining moment. This checklist from Event Rentals NYC (a KLAV Group company) covers exactly what you need, how many, and what to budget.

Sound

Crystal-clear audio is non-negotiable when your CEO walks on stage to reveal the product.

• PA System (line array or powered tops + subs) — Needed for any room over 50 guests. Recommended: 2 tops + 2 subs for 100-300 attendees. Cost: $400-$1,200/day
• Wireless Handheld Microphones — For presenters, hosts, and Q&A. Recommended: 2-4 units. Cost: $75-$150 per mic/day
• Lavalier (Lapel) Microphones — For demos and hands-free presenting. Recommended: 2 units. Cost: $100-$175 per mic/day
• Stage Monitors — So presenters hear themselves clearly. Recommended: 2 wedges. Cost: $100-$200 each/day
• Digital Mixer (16-32 channel) — Required if running mics + music + video audio. Recommended: 1 with engineer. Cost: $300-$700/day

Lighting

Lighting is what separates a corporate meeting from a launch event guests post about.

• LED Uplighting — Wash room walls in your brand colors. Recommended: 12-20 fixtures. Cost: $35-$60 per fixture/day

• Ambient/Pin-Spot Lighting — Highlights centerpieces and product displays. Recommended: 8-12 pin spots. Cost: $25-$45 per fixture/day

Video

Your product needs to be seen — from every seat in the room.

• HD Projector (7,000+ lumens) — For brand videos, slides, and product reveal animation. Recommended: 1-2 units. Cost: $500-$1,500/day

DJ and Music

Set the energy before, during, and after the reveal.

• Pioneer CDJ Turntables (CDJ-3000 pair) — Pro DJs require these. Recommended: 2 + DJM mixer. Cost: $400-$700 package/day
• DJ Controller (entry-level) — Budget alternative. Recommended: 1 unit. Cost: $150-$300/day
