What matters most
Check the power: how many sockets are near the play area and whether one circuit can carry the gear.
Points to work through
- Place speakers to cover the crowd without blasting the nearest neighbours.
- Keep the setup small and tidy in a home — one good pair of speakers usually beats a big rig.
- Route cables safely away from doorways, stairs and drinks.
- Agree a wind-down and finish time so the night ends cleanly.
