When planning an event, don’t overlook the sound system! One of the biggest mistakes organizations make is not securing a proper sound system. A benefit auction is different from other events because at a benefit auction, attendees are schmoozing and socializing. Remember: Your guests want to party while you want to fundraise. An effective sound system promotes a successful fundraiser. The success of your event depends on the audience being able to clearly hear and understand what is being said while still socializing with other guests. To achieve this, you need a benefit auction quality surround sound system! The problem with using the band’s (or DJ’s) system is these systems are single sided sound (setup along one side of the room – usually the front). In order for the people in the back to hear, volume must be increased to a sound level that becomes deafening for those in the front of the room – not a good idea – typically VIP guests are seated in the front of the room! If the volume is adjusted to satisfy those in the front, then the guests in the back cannot hear. As for using the hotel’s system, think again. Most hotel sound systems use small speakers built into the ceiling. These small speakers are usually of poor quality and often distort when the volume is raised high enough to be heard in a room packed full of people socializing.
Most organizations work an entire year to create one magical evening. Don’t allow all of your efforts to be wasted because your audience is unable to clearly hear and understand the auctioneer.
