The Ultimate AV Equipment Checklist for a Product Launch in Williamsburg

Williamsburg product launches demand polish. Whether you're unveiling a tech gadget at The William Vale or a fashion drop at a Wythe Avenue loft, the right AV setup turns a room of guests into brand evangelists. Use this checklist from Event Rentals NYC (a KLAV Group company) to lock down every element before doors open.

Sound

Audio is non-negotiable — your founder's keynote and product reveal must hit clearly across every corner of the room.

• PA Speakers (Powered Tops + Subs): Needed for keynote, music, and announcements. Recommended: 2 tops + 2 subs for 100–250 guests. Rental: $350–$650
• Wireless Handheld Mics: Needed for host, founder speech, Q&A. Recommended: 2–3 units. Rental: $75–$125 each
• Lavalier (Lapel) Mics: Needed for product demos and on-camera interviews. Recommended: 2 units. Rental: $85–$135 each

• Digital Mixer (16-channel): Needed to balance mics, music, and video playback. Recommended: 1 unit + sound engineer. Rental: $250–$500

Lighting

Lighting sets the brand mood — from sleek minimal to vibrant hype.

• LED Uplighting (Wireless): Needed for ambient color wash on walls, matched to brand palette. Recommended: 12–20 fixtures. Rental: $35–$55 each
