Which package: a DJ or a small band set is the Backyard & Small Events package at $180. A wedding with a full band is the Wedding package at $800 — not because the band draws more power, but because of what comes with it: early arrival, a certificate of insurance naming your venue, weather cover, a redundant backup inverter, late-night pickup, and reserve capacity held back.
Clean power, in both senses
No acoustic noise. No engine means no drone, no vibration through the stage deck, and nothing for open mics to pick up. Manufacturer-rated under 30 dB, against roughly 60–75 dB for a typical portable gas generator.
And no fuel logistics. Nothing to refill between sets, nothing to restart if it dies mid-song.
What it runs
- Full PA: mains, subs, and stage monitors
- Mixing console, wireless racks, and processing
- Backline: amps, keys, electronic drums
- DJ rig: controller, decks, mixer, powered speakers
- Wireless microphone systems for speeches and announcements
- Stage lighting, uplighting, and truss lighting
- Video, projection, and screens
- Charging for wireless packs, tablets, and laptops

Sizing it to the stage
- A DJ or acoustic setup — a single inverter and battery is typically plenty for controller, powered speakers and a couple of mics.
- A full band with a real PA — more batteries for headroom across a longer set.
- A festival stage — the Full Event package: full PA with subwoofers, stage lighting, and a vendor row on one silent setup.
Tell us your input list and set length and we'll size it properly. If your rig is genuinely beyond what we carry, we'll say so.
Nobody is hauling a generator to load-in
Load-in is already enough work. Add a Home Depot rental run, a 200-pound generator to lift, gas cans to fill, and a refueling stop mid-set, and it's a bad night.
We deliver on a wheeled cart, position it behind or beside the stage, plug in the distribution unit, and come back for it after teardown. Delivery, setup, and pickup included within 20 miles of Chevy Chase, DC.
We bring the distribution unit — multiple independent 20-amp circuits — and cords. Keep it under cover, out of direct sun and rain.
Band and stage questions
Will it introduce hum or noise into the audio?
There's no engine and no vibration. Acoustically it's rated under 30 dB — nothing for open microphones to pick up.
Can it run a full PA and lighting at the same time?
Yes. Full PA and lighting together is exactly what the Full Event package is built for. Send your input list and lighting plot and we'll confirm before you book.
What about surges when everything powers up?
Send us the setup and we'll spec headroom for it rather than guess.
Can it go where the stage is — a park, a closed street, a field?
Yes. It's self-contained and needs no hookups, which is why we get called for parks, the National Mall, and street festivals.
How long can it run a set?
Depends on draw. Give us set length and rig and we'll size the configuration.
Do you deliver and set up?
Always. Delivery, setup and pickup are included within 20 miles of Chevy Chase, DC. You don't touch it.
