PA Systems · DJ Gear · Live Sound Engineering · Videography Add-on
black label radio rents professional sound equipment across Providence and all of Rhode Island. Full HSD and QSC PA systems, subwoofers, monitors and Pioneer DJ equipment — for club nights, warehouse parties, outdoor raves, festivals and private events. Delivery, setup and a live sound engineer are available with any rental, and event videography can be added to any booking.
We're a working dance music collective, not a warehouse with a counter. The same rigs we rent are the ones we run at our own events, so the gear is maintained, tested and specced by people who mix on it every week.
what you can rent
Full HSD Sound Systems
Large-format PA for club nights, warehouse parties and outdoor raves. Tops, subs and stands, scaled to the room.
QSC Travel Sound Systems
Portable QSC setups for smaller rooms, bars, pop-ups and private parties. Fast to deploy, easy on tight load-ins.
QSC Mobile Subwoofers
Low-end reinforcement to add weight to any system — essential for techno, bass and dance events.
Pioneer CDJs
Industry-standard CDJ players, the setup most DJs expect to walk up to.
Pioneer Mixers
Club mixers to pair with the CDJs, including the channel count your line-up needs.
Pioneer AIOs
All-in-one Pioneer units for compact booths and smaller events where a full CDJ setup won't fit.
live sound engineering
Equipment on its own is only half of it. You can hire a live sound engineer alongside any rental: system setup, tuning for the room, soundcheck with your artists, and live mixing handled start to finish. Useful if you're running a night at an unfamiliar venue, or if you'd rather focus on the event than on the desk.
add-on: videography + camera rental
Sound comes first, but the same crew can film your night too. We shoot on a Sony FX3A full-frame cinema camera, and you can have it two ways.
Event Videography
We film your event — the DJs, the crowd, the room — and cut recap and promo edits for socials. Shot by people who know how a dance floor should look on camera.
Sony FX3A Camera Rental
Rent the FX3A for a music video, a set recording or your own shoot. Ask about availability and what’s in the kit when you enquire.

questions
Where can I rent sound equipment in Providence, RI?
black label radio rents professional sound equipment throughout Providence and Rhode Island, including full HSD PA systems, portable QSC setups, QSC subwoofers and Pioneer DJ equipment. Delivery, setup, soundcheck and live mixing can be included. Email booking@black-label-radio.com with your date and venue size.
How much does it cost to rent a PA system in Rhode Island?
Cost depends on the size of the system, how long you need it, and whether you want an engineer on site. A small portable QSC setup for a private party costs considerably less than a full HSD rig for an outdoor rave. Send us the details and we'll quote it.
Do you deliver and set up the equipment?
Yes. We deliver, set up and soundcheck across Providence and the surrounding Rhode Island area. You can also hire equipment with a live sound engineer who runs the system for the whole event.
Can I rent DJ equipment without the PA system?
Yes. Pioneer CDJs, mixers and all-in-one units can be hired on their own if the venue already has a system, or bundled with a PA if it doesn't.
What size events do you cover?
Anything from a private party or small bar in a single room up to a full club night, warehouse party or outdoor rave. The rig is scaled to the room — tell us the space and expected headcount and we'll spec it.
What areas do you serve?
We’re based out of Providence, Rhode Island and deliver throughout New England — Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Most of our work is around Providence, Pawtucket, Cranston, Warwick, Newport and East Providence, but we travel for the right event.
Do you offer videography or camera rental?
Yes. We shoot event videography on a Sony FX3A full-frame cinema camera — DJ sets, crowd footage, recap and promo edits — and the FX3A can also be rented on its own for your own shoot. Email booking@black-label-radio.com with the date and what you need.
How far in advance should I book?
Sooner is better, especially for weekends and festival season. If your date is close, still ask — we can often cover short notice.
