🎧 Speaker Rentals: Troubleshooting and Setup Guide

---

At 306 Party Rentals, we want to ensure your event’s sound is flawless. Use this guide to troubleshoot any speaker issues and set everything up properly. Be sure to test the equipment before your event so there’s time to fix any problems or get replacements if needed.​

⚡ Power Source & Extension Cords

​

• Plug Into a Wall Outlet: Always plug the speaker directly into a wall outlet for the best performance. Extension cords can sometimes cause power issues.
• Use the Right Extension Cord: If you need an extension cord, make sure it's heavy-duty and can handle high power. The best ones to use are 12- or 14-gauge cords.
• Don't Overload the Cord: Avoid plugging other big devices into the same extension cord, like heaters or extra sound equipment. This could cause the speaker to lose power.

📶 Bluetooth or Wired Connections

• Bluetooth Connection: Stay within 30 feet of the speaker. Things like walls or furniture can block the signal and cause the sound to cut out.
• Check Your Cables: If you're using a wired connection, make sure all the cables are plugged in tightly. Loose or broken cables can cause sound problems.

​​🌡️ Prevent Overheating

Keep It Cool: Speakers can get too hot if they’re used at high volumes for a long time. Place the speaker in a cool, shady spot to avoid overheating. If it shuts down, let it cool before turning it back on.

​🔊 Watch the Volume

Don’t Use Max Volume for Long: Running the speaker at full volume for too long can cause it to shut down. Keep it just below max to avoid problems.

🔄 What to Do If the Speaker Cuts Out

• Check the Power: Make sure the speaker is still plugged in correctly and that your extension cord is strong enough.
• Check Bluetooth or Wired Connections: Be sure you’re within range for Bluetooth or that your cables are secure.
• Check for Overheating: Let the speaker cool down if it’s been running for a long time

​🛠️ Test Before Your Event

Always test your speaker a few days before your event to make sure everything works perfectly. This gives you time to fix any issues or get a replacement from us if needed. Solving problems early is much easier than on the day of your event!
