Consistency is key when planning annual corporate events. Vancouver Projector Rentals was pleased to be contacted once again by PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) to support their annual United Way Charity Auction at their Vancouver office. Having provided a successful setup the previous year, the client requested to replicate the exact audio configuration to ensure another smooth fundraising experience.
The Goal: Replicating AV Setup Success
For a high-energy event like a charity auction, audio clarity is the most critical technical element. The auctioneer needs to be heard clearly across a busy office floor to maximize engagement and bids.
The Technical Solution
To match the successful configuration of the previous year, Vancouver Projector Rentals deployed a robust audio package designed for wide coverage:
Speaker System: We installed four Professional JBL Speakers on tripods. This four-point setup ensured that sound was distributed evenly throughout the large office space, preventing “dead zones” and ensuring every bid was heard.
Wireless Microphones: We supplied a set of 2 wireless handheld microphones. This allowed the auctioneer and event organizers to move freely through the crowd to engage with donors without being restricted by cables.
Flexible Logistics: Understanding the logistics of a downtown corporate high-rise, we coordinated a flexible schedule. Our team arranged an early-morning drop-off to coordinate loading dock availability, followed by a dedicated technician arriving in the afternoon to perform the final setup and calibration just before the event began.
Professional Execution
By maintaining detailed records of past events, Vancouver Projector Rentals made the booking process effortless for the PwC team. We were able to pull up the previous year’s schematics and quote immediately, allowing the client to confirm their needs with a single email. The result was a seamless setup and a successful auction.

Building long-term professional relationships is a testament to quality service. Vancouver Projector Rentals was proud to return to Kindred Construction to provide audio-visual support for a recurring corporate event. For this project, we were tasked with transforming a standard office space into a high-functioning panel discussion hub, requiring a sophisticated microphone array and a custom recording solution.
The Goal: Live Sound and Podcast Capture
The client required a dependable audio environment for a multi-speaker panel discussion hosted at their corporate office. The objective was twofold: ensure every word was heard clearly by the live audience and capture the entire discussion with broadcast-quality precision for a future podcast episode.
The Technical Audio Recording Solution
To ensure a professional experience for the six-person panel, we deployed an expansive audio package tailored for group discussions:
Multi-Microphone Array: We provided six Wireless Handheld Microphones paired with six professional mic stands. This gave each panelist a dedicated audio source, ensuring seamless transitions between speakers.
High-Fidelity Sound: We installed two Event & Outdoor Speakers on elevated tripods, managed by a centralized Analog Mixer. This allowed our technician to balance levels in real-time to prevent feedback.
Podcast Integration: Upon a last-minute request, we integrated a high-resolution digital recording interface into the soundboard to capture the raw audio feed directly.
Technician Services & Post-Production
Vancouver Projector Rentals provided full-service logistics, including delivery, setup, and testing well before the event started. In addition to live event support, we provided professional post-event audio editing services. Within days of the event, we delivered polished, edited audio files via a secure cloud link, giving the marketing team ready-to-use content for their company

When a technical conference requires managing concurrent presentations across multiple rooms, the AV demands shift from simple rental to expert, full-service integration. We recently partnered with a leading engineering firm to deliver a comprehensive, dual-room audio-visual and recording solution for their technical presentations at the Pinnacle Hotel in North Vancouver. This event is a perfect case study of how Vancouver Projector Rentals (VPR) provides peace of mind for mission-critical corporate events.
The Challenge: Dual Rooms, Mixed Equipment, and Mission-Critical Recording
Our client had a clear objective: to host two simultaneous presentation tracks and professionally record both for attendees who couldn’t attend live.
Room 2 Full Setup: This room required a complete, high-end AV package from the ground up, plus its own dedicated recording system. For this conference room, a fastfold screen, high-lumen projector, PA system with microphone, and all the recording equipment to live stream the presentation were set up.
This project demanded more than just dropping off equipment; it required careful pre-planning, technical expertise on the day, and a focus on delivering a ready-to-use final product.
Our team developed a custom, dual-room package designed for maximum clarity and reliability, leveraging both our state-of-the-art rental gear and specialized technical services.
Room 2: The Complete Presentation Hub
For the room requiring a new setup, we deployed a professional standard, ensuring every detail supported the presenters:
Crystal-Clear Audio: A robust PA System with dedicated Wireless Handheld Microphones ensured every technical detail was heard, even in a crowded conference setting.
Room 1: Seamless Integration and Reliability
The critical task in the first room was integration. Our dedicated on-site technician ensured success by:
Audio Capture: Tapping directly into the output of the client’s existing audio mixer. This crucial step guaranteed that our recording gear captured the pristine, mixed audio from their microphones and presentation computers.
Troubleshooting: We arrived equipped with all necessary cables and adapters, eliminating potential compatibility issues and ensuring a timely, professional 7:00 AM setup.
The Post-Production Value-Add
Our commitment to quality extended far beyond the live event. Included in our service was our Dual Room Recording Package (using dedicated 4K/1080P Webcams, Audio Interfaces, and Laptops) and, most importantly, Post-Production Video Editing.
Instead of simply filming a projector screen (which often results in poor quality), our technician captured the presenter on the webcam and then seamlessly incorporated the presenter’s original PowerPoint slides in post-production. This method delivers a superior, professional video asset—clear presenter footage combined with clean, legible slides—perfect for distribution or archiving.Beyond the live event, we ensured quality through our comprehensive service offerings.

The Result: Flawless Execution and Professional Assets
The technical conference was executed flawlessly. By providing one point of contact for two concurrent, complex AV and recording needs, we took the burden off the client’s internal team. They were able to focus entirely on their agenda and presenters, confident that both the live audience experience and the crucial post-event recording requirements were handled with precision.

Hosting a live event is complex. Hosting a live event and trying to capture high-quality audio for a podcast at the same time? That introduces a whole new level of technical challenges. How do you manage multiple speakers? How do you ensure the audio is clean, with no interference? And who handles all the technical work while you’re busy engaging your audience?
We recently had the pleasure of partnering with a local host to provide a complete, hands-off audio solution for his live panel discussion and podcast recording at UBC Robson Square. This event is a perfect case study for clients who need more than just equipment; they need peace of mind.
The Vision: A Seamless Live Podcast Recording
The event’s goal was clear: host an engaging live panel discussion and, simultaneously, capture pristine, multi-track audio from all five panelists. This recording would then be edited and produced into a professional podcast episode.
The challenge was logistical. The host needed to be entirely focused on moderating the discussion, not on managing audio levels, checking batteries, or troubleshooting equipment. The client was looking for a “done-for-you” service that covered everything from setup to the final, polished audio file.
The Solution: Beyond Rental, A Full-Service Package
While the initial inquiry was for five wireless microphones and a mixer, we identified a much greater need through our consultation. This wasn’t a simple “rent-and-return” scenario; it required on-site technical management and post-production expertise.
Our team provided a complete, end-to-end audio recording package:
Professional Equipment: We supplied five wireless handheld microphones, ensuring each of the panelists had clear, individual audio capture. These were routed to a professional audio mixer and recording interface.
On-Site Technician: This was the key to the event’s success. A dedicated VPR technician was on-site for the entire 4-hour event. This technician handled all aspects of the audio: setup, testing, managing frequencies to avoid interference, and actively monitoring the recording levels throughout the live discussion.
Complete Post-Production: Our work didn’t end when the event did. After teardown, our team took the raw, multi-track audio files and professionally edited and mixed them. This involved cleaning up the audio, balancing the levels between speakers, and mastering the final track.
The Result: A Flawless Event and a Ready-to-Use Podcast
By having our technician manage the entire audio workflow, the host was able to focus 100% on his panelists and audience. He didn’t have to worry about a single technical detail.
The event was a complete success. The client received the raw audio files as requested, and shortly after, the fully edited, mixed, and broadcast-ready podcast episode.

Organizations often invest in their own high-quality audio equipment but lack the in-house expertise to operate it effectively during critical events. Vancouver Projector Rentals was recently contracted by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada) to provide professional technician services for a high-level panel discussion at their Vancouver office.
The Goal: Professional Operation of In-House Gear
The client possessed a robust inventory of audio gear, including wired microphones and a digital mixer, but needed a professional audio engineer to ensure the event ran smoothly. The objective was to support a “Five Eyes” panel discussion featuring multiple speakers and audience Q&A, ensuring crystal-clear audio without feedback or technical interruptions.
The Technician Solution
Since this was a labour-only service, our value lay entirely in technical expertise and logistical support:
System Integration: Our technician managed the setup of the client’s five wired microphones and two wireless floating microphones, adapting quickly when the floor plan shifted from a roundtable to a panel format.
Mixer Management: While the client owned a digital mixer, they lacked a specific control interface. We brought our own laptop pre-loaded with the necessary mixing software to control their system wirelessly, along with a backup analog mixer to guarantee zero downtime.
