Renting sound gear in Boise and Nampa, in plain words

You pick it up at my shop in Nampa, about 20 minutes from downtown Boise, and bring it back when the rental is over. Everything is tested before it leaves, I show you how it hooks up, and the case is out and ready when you get here. If you would rather not haul it, delivery and pickup are $250 each way across the Treasure Valley.

What people rent most: powered PA speakers for a party or a ceremony, wired and wireless microphones for a toast or a meeting, a complete sound system for a company event, DJ gear when a friend is playing the music, uplights and dance lighting, and battery power for a field with no outlet. Every rate is in the catalog below, overnight and weekend, with nothing hidden in the fine print.

Not sure what you need? Answer the six questions below and the page builds the list for you. Or text me what you are doing and I will tell you what to grab.

Don't know what you need? Answer six questions.

Mark builds hundreds of these a year. Tell the tool about your event and it puts together the same list he would, from the catalog below, with the real rates. Nothing gets booked until you say so.

What's the event?

Pick the closest one.

About how many people?

Everyone who needs to hear, not just the ones up front. This is the number that sizes the speakers.

Where is it?

Outdoors needs more speaker than the same crowd indoors, and it needs power from somewhere.

What needs to come out of the speakers?

Pick everything that applies.

How long do you need it?

Saturday events are a weekend rental (pick up Friday, bring it back Monday), so nobody is racing the clock on the big day.

How hands-on do you want to be?

All of it is plug-and-play. Mark labels every cable and walks you through it at pickup.

    Count everyone who might want one, not just the dancers. Guests trade them around. We stock 750.

    A channel is one transmitter: guests flip their headset to it and hear that music. Under 100 headsets each channel is $40. From 100 headsets, one channel is included per 100; extras are $40 each.

    Playlists are yours (phones or laptops plug straight into the transmitters). A live DJ on a channel is $850 and reads the crowd all night. You can't have more DJs than channels.

      How Rentals Work

      From browsing the catalog to show day, here is how renting professional-grade AV gear actually works.

      1

      Browse the Catalog

      Every item shows its overnight and weekend rate. Tap "+ Add to quote" on anything you want, set the quantity right on the card, and the running total follows you down the page.

      2

      Send Your List

      Tap the red total bar to switch overnight or weekend, add pickup or delivery, and send the list to Mark from right there. You can also share the list with a spouse or planner by link, email or text. Mark confirms availability and sends a firm written quote, usually the same day.

      3

      Pick Up Free, or Add Delivery

      Pick up free at the Nampa shop, where Mark tests everything with you and walks you through the hookup. Or add delivery for $250 each way. Rentals under $400 are pickup only from the Nampa shop. For full production shows, add an engineer to run it all.

      Quotes usually go out the same day, every rate is published, and SwissMixx carries a 5-star rating across 150+ Google and Yelp reviews in Idaho and Utah.

      Reserve, Pick Up, Return

      The practical bits, stated up front so nothing turns up on an invoice later.

      Reserve

      Send your list from the catalog and Mark confirms availability with a firm written quote, usually the same day. Every rental carries a damage waiver, 10% of the rental fee with a $25 minimum, so a dropped speaker is not a $1,500 problem. Every bare rental also carries a refundable card hold, $250 on most gear and more on the bigger kits and silent disco sets. It is not charged, and it is released after the return.

      Some homeowner and event insurance policies already cover rented gear, so it is worth checking yours before you buy anything extra.

      Renting for a company, school, or city? A W-9 and an itemized estimate are available on request, and the invoice can be paid by card or ACH.

      Pick Up

      Free pickup at the Nampa shop. Mark tests every piece with you before it leaves and walks you through the hookup, so you are not learning how it works at the venue with guests arriving.

      Prefer delivery? $250 each way across the Treasure Valley. Rentals under $400 are pickup only.

      Every rental leaves with Mark's number. Text your questions to (208) 995-0502 and he will get back to you as soon as he is free.

      Return

      Overnight rentals come back the next day. A weekend rental is a Friday pickup and a Monday morning return, which gives you the gear for the whole event at the reduced weekend rate.

      Want it another night? Text before your return time and the extra night is 10% off the overnight rate. Need it longer than the weekend from the start? Each added day is 40% of the overnight rate. A late return bills the full overnight rate for each day late, and after 7 days the gear is billed at replacement value.

      Gear failure is on me. I rent pro-grade equipment, I test it before it leaves, and I send backup where it counts. Damage from drops, spills, or weather you did not protect against is on the renter, and that is spelled out in the rental agreement before you pay.

      Renting for a bigger production, or want somebody to run it? Add an engineer and I will quote the whole thing rather than just the boxes.

      What Renters Say

      Real clients, real gear, real events.

      ★★★★★

      "The only place I'll look to for any pro audio needs in northern Utah. Very responsive and transparent, products provided were the best in their class, and they were accommodating and took care of something that I know for sure most companies wouldn't have. Thank you SwissMixx for helping me take care of a very special event I had in town."

      Shawn O.

      Yelp, Las Vegas, NV

      ★★★★★

      "Did you know you can rent equipment from SwissMixx Audio? I didn't until I needed a speaker and mic. Mark delivered, showed me how to use it, it worked flawlessly, and the return was so easy. If you need to project sound, look no further. I had a friend record my presentation with Mark's speaker and it came out amazing. DJ, audio, and now rentals, no wonder everyone recommended SwissMixx Audio!"

      Rental FAQ

      Everything you need to know about renting AV equipment in the Treasure Valley.

      Yes. SwissMixx Audio delivers, sets up, and picks up rental equipment throughout the Treasure Valley including Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Kuna, and Star. Delivery is $250 and pickup is $250. The first 50 miles from Nampa are included in the base delivery zone.

      Overnight is a standard 24-hour rental period, ideal for a single-day event. Weekend rental is a Friday pickup to Monday morning return, giving you the gear for your full weekend event at a reduced daily rate. Weekend rates are listed separately on every item in the catalog above. Need it longer than the weekend? Each added day is 40% of the overnight rate.

      Yes. The RCF HDL26 Array Package is designed specifically for large outdoor events like fireworks shows, drone shows, city events, and festivals. It includes 6 RCF HDL26-A active line array cabinets, one Tower Lift K-50 (20ft manual lift), an RCF SUB 9006-AS subwoofer, and a professional A1 engineer. Contact SwissMixx for flat-rate pricing and availability.

      SwissMixx has up to 750 wireless LED silent disco headsets available, with 3 channels and 3 colors. Packages are offered for 100, 300, and up to 750 guests. All three transmitters can run simultaneously for a full 3-channel experience. Perfect for outdoor weddings, rooftop parties, and city events.

      Yes. A professional A1 audio engineer can be added to any rental. For large productions using the RCF Array Package, a professional A1 is included in the package. For full-service events, SwissMixx Audio handles delivery, setup, operation, and teardown so you can focus on the event.

      Yes. School and community theater productions get a flat educational rate on Shure ULXD wireless microphone systems: $245 per channel for the run of your show, 4 channel minimum, up to 14 days covering tech week and every performance. SwissMixx Audio has worked with middle schools, high schools, and community theater groups throughout the Treasure Valley. Contact us to check availability and get the right number of channels for your cast.

      Two 12-inch powered speakers cover 100 to 150 people for music and speeches indoors. Add a subwoofer only if dancing matters. One speaker is fine for speeches alone. If you tell me your guest count and whether you are inside or outside, I will size it for you in one text. Watts on the box mean less than people think, coverage is what matters.

      A powered speaker has the amplifier built in. Plug it into the wall, plug in your source, done. That is what 90 percent of renters actually want. You only need a mixer when you have more than two things to plug in, like a mic plus music plus a laptop. One phone into one speaker just needs a cable, and I include it.

      Newer speakers in my catalog have Bluetooth built in, or I include the right cable for a wired connection, which never drops out mid-song. Download your playlist before the event. Venue Wi-Fi lies. I walk every renter through the hookup at pickup, it takes about ten minutes.

      Wired is cheaper and cannot fail mid-speech, and honestly works just as well for toasts since you are not moving around much. Wireless is worth it for officiants, roaming hosts, and anyone who wants to walk. When it matters, take both. The wired mic is the backup that has saved more than one wedding.

      Battery speakers like the EV Everse 8 run all day on a charge in silence, and they are the right answer for ceremonies and small parties. I also rent quiet inverter generators and Jackery battery stations for bigger rigs. A typical two-speaker setup draws less than a hair dryer, so one standard outlet is plenty when you have power.

      Less than most people expect. A powered speaker on a stand runs from $72 for the weekend, a wired mic from $30, a wireless handheld from $72, and a complete DIY sound kit for a wedding or party from $249. Delivery, if you want it, is $250 each way. Every price is published on this page, so you can add it up yourself before you ever talk to me.

      Yes. Overnight is the standard one-day rental: pick it up the day of your event and bring it back the next day. Weekend is a Friday pickup and a Monday return for a little more, which is the better deal if your event is on a Saturday and you want a day to set up and a day to rest. Both rates are shown on every item in the catalog.

      If it fails under normal use, that is on me. I rent pro-grade equipment, I test everything before it leaves, and I send backup where it counts. Damage from drops, spills, and weather you did not protect against is on the renter, and that is spelled out plainly in the rental agreement before you pay, not after.

      Every rental includes a damage waiver, 10% of the rental fee with a $25 minimum, shown as its own line on your invoice. It covers accidental damage during normal use, a dropped speaker or a blown driver. It does not cover loss, theft, water or weather, misuse, or missing cables. If your homeowner, renter or event policy already covers rented equipment, send a certificate of insurance naming SwissMixx Audio before pickup and the waiver comes off. Every bare rental also carries a refundable card hold, $250 on most gear and more on the bigger kits, not charged and released after the return.

      A week ahead is safe most of the year. Graduation season, June weddings, and the holidays book out, so grab your date early. If you are running behind on a return, text before your return time and the extra night is 10% off the overnight rate. A late return without that text bills the full overnight rate for each day late.

      Keeping it another night is easy: text before your return time and the extra night is 10% off the overnight rate. Booking longer than a weekend up front is simple too, each added day is 40% of the overnight rate. A late return without a heads-up bills the full overnight rate for each day late, and after 7 days the gear is billed at replacement value.

      Equipment rentals are available throughout the Treasure Valley including Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Kuna, Star, and surrounding communities. SwissMixx Audio is based in Nampa, Idaho. For larger productions or special circumstances outside the Treasure Valley, contact us to discuss options.

      With a bare rental, you pick up or I deliver the gear and your own crew runs it, that covers most simple setups, like two powered speakers and a wireless mic for speeches. Once you're into a line array system, multiple mics, live music, or a real patch, I bring an operator, because that's the difference between a system that sounds right at 6pm and one that still sounds right at 10pm. Line arrays specifically are only available as an operated service, not a dry rental, since a line array run badly is worse than not having one.

      It comes down to headcount and how spread out the crowd is, not the size of the venue. A few hundred people clustered around a stage need a very different rig than a thousand people spread across a field. This is where the RCF line array package earns its keep, it's built for exactly this. Tell me your expected crowd size and layout and I'll size the system instead of guessing.

      The standard pickup-or-delivery, you-run-it rental model is Idaho and Treasure Valley only, out of the Nampa shop. SwissMixx Audio also operates out of Clearfield, Utah, but Utah bookings run as full-service production: I bring the same equipment and run it myself rather than shipping gear across state lines for someone else to operate. Same gear, same standard, just staffed instead of dry. If you want dry-hire gear in Utah, my partner BeatHive DJs in Farmington handles that.

      Yes, drums, amps, keyboards, and similar band gear can be added to a booking. Backline comes through a sourcing partner rather than my own inventory, so it's not guaranteed until I confirm it. Let me know as early as possible if your event needs it.

      In Idaho, it depends on whether the equipment is operated. A bare rental, where you pick up or I drop off and you run it yourself, is taxable. A fully operated rental, where I supply the operator and run the system for your event, counts as a service and isn't taxed. Your quote always shows exactly what applies.

      The ceremony kit, a battery speaker and a wireless handheld, is $249 for the Friday to Monday weekend. The Reception Kit, two powered speakers on stands, a mixer and a wireless handheld, covers ceremony through the last dance for up to about 150 guests at $399 for the weekend. Both come tested and packed with a ten minute walkthrough at pickup in Nampa. Idaho sales tax and a damage waiver (10% of the rental, $25 minimum) are added on every bare rental, and a refundable card hold covers the deposit.

      Yes. Every item has a day rate, which is 24 hours, and a weekend rate, which is Friday pickup and Monday return. A Mackie Thump212 is $40 for a night and $72 for the weekend. Both rates are printed on every card in the catalog, and overnight rentals are pickup only.

      Yes. Wireless handheld and lavalier mics, powered speakers, column arrays, mixers, 75 inch TVs on stands, laptop adapter boxes and event power are all on this page with their day and weekend rates. If you would rather have it run for you, the corporate AV page lists the operated packages with an engineer.

      Pretty much anything that needs sound, from a backyard birthday party to a city festival main stage. Regulars include weddings, corporate meetings and galas, school assemblies and theater productions, church services, fireworks and drone shows, city celebrations and parades, and Oktoberfest-style fall festivals. Just as common: quinceañeras, family reunions, retirement parties, baby and bridal showers, block parties, farmers markets and food truck rallies, car shows, 5Ks and fun runs, and political or campaign events. If you've got a headcount and a date, I can size the right gear for it, whatever the occasion.

      Yes. I rent a 9 by 16 foot fast-fold screen, one set up for front projection and one for rear projection, each with a black dress kit (skirt, side wings and top valance). They are not the Da-Lite brand. They're the same folding-frame style people know from Da-Lite Fast-Fold screens, made by a different company, and I've used them on shows and they work great. Either one is $595 overnight or $1,071 for the weekend. A 16 foot picture needs a lot more light than a slideshow projector puts out, so tell me about your room and I'll help you figure out what projector it takes.
