Thread Starter  |  Mic, Console & Speaker hire in NYC...
Hey, I've got an orchestral live recording coming up in April on a project that was started in Poland late last year... we've got the orchestra flying to NYC from Poland and there is great expense involved all round... so I need to make this work... problem is that I'm not from NY, and will need a few extra microphones and bits and pieces that are not available at the venue... what I need is: 6x Neumann KM84 8x Neumann U87 2x AKG 414's you know... just a few basics... haha... I also need a live console, preferable a nice analogue midas... but something digital maybe ok... ie digidesign venue is ok for this because it's got the PT LE hook up so that's nice... finally I need a set of JBL VerTec subs (2x VT4882 or VT4881) If anyone has any ideas of good hire companies in NY would be greatly appreciated! |

Dreamhire would definitely be worth a look, they're one of the bigger rental houses. I think they're in Long Island. www.dreamhire.com |

They're actually now located in Long Island City, Queens - right across the bridge from Manhattan. They can do deliveries to Manhattan or Brooklyn based studios or venues easily as well. Best regards, Steve Berson | |

Dreamhire is one good option. But Jim Flynn is also a great option - especially for microphones: Jim Flynn Equipment Rentals Another lesser-known option is Professional Sound Services. They are more oriented towards true field recording and film sound, but are a great resource: Pro-Sound.com ~ Professional Sound Services Tell Rich Topham I sent you. This way, after saying "Rob who?", he'll charge you double  . Just kidding.Another often-overlooked resource is the moderator of this forum. Steve won't toot his own horn here, but Aura Sonic has an incredible rental list and very reasonable prices.

+1 on Jim Flynn and +100 on Steve Remote/Aurasonic. Steve has provided me with equipment on many shows, ranging from a pair of 414's to an entire mix truck in a custom configuration. If he doesn't have everything, call Jim for the rest. Regards; Danny |

I'd recommend Steve, he's got the gear and the know how to help with any questions you might have.
