What is a lip plate & riser?

All flutes have a lip plate and riser to blow across. The material they are made with can make a huge difference to the sound of the flute.

Most student flutes have historically only had silver plated lip plate and riser, but now quality student flute will often have .925 silver plates and riser.

What is .925 silver?

Simply, pure silver would be too soft and easily damaged. When 92.5% of pure silver is mixed with 7.5% of other metals (often copper, nickel or zinc) the resulting alloy is called sterling silver. ... In other words, .925 is the same as sterling silver, but not solid and therefore no stamp.

How to Choose the Right PA System

Choosing the right PA system for your event is about matching the size of your venue, the number of people, and the type of sound you need. Here’s a simple guide to help you select the right system from our range.

1. Consider Your Venue and Audience Size

Small Venues (up to ~50 people)
Ideal for small meetings, acoustic sets, or speeches. Our SubZero SZPA-410 or Yamaha DBR10 systems are compact, easy to set up, and provide clear sound for smaller rooms.

Medium Venues (50–150 people)
For medium halls or larger function rooms, we recommend systems with larger speakers and multiple input channels. The Yamaha DBR12 or SubZero SZPA-412 deliver enough power for speeches, music playback, or small bands.

Large Venues (150+ people)
For larger indoor events or parties, our high-powered systems like the Yamaha DBR15 provide full coverage and balanced sound for bigger crowds. The Yamaha Stagepas 1K MK2 is also perfect for solo performers, singer-songwriters, violinists, acoustic sets, and small ensembles — providing clear, high-quality sound without taking up much space.

2. Match Your Sound Needs

• Speech Only: A smaller PA system with clear vocal projection is sufficient. One or two microphones are usually enough.
• Music Playback or DJ Events: Use a system with more power and optional subwoofers for fuller sound.
• Live Bands or Solo Performers: Larger systems with a mixer and multiple channels allow instruments and vocals to be balanced for a clear, professional sound. Solo performers and singer-songwriters often benefit from the Yamaha Stagepas 1K MK2 for its simplicity and clarity.

3. PA System Placement

• Raise speakers on stands to improve sound projection and clarity.
• Position speakers to cover the audience evenly, avoiding obstacles that block sound.
• Ensure mixers and microphones are set up conveniently for performers or presenters.

4. Optional Extras

Most of our PA systems can be enhanced with additional items to suit your event:

• Microphones – wired or wireless
• Microphone stands and cables
• Speaker stands
• Mixers for multiple input sources
• Subwoofers for added bass depth

These extras let you tailor the system to your event, whether it’s a small speech, a DJ set, or a live band or solo performance.

5. Quick Selection Guide

Final Tips

• Consider your venue size first — larger rooms need more power.
• Think about your sound type — speeches, music, live performance, or solo acts.
• Optional extras like stands, microphones, mixers, and subwoofers improve clarity and coverage.
• If unsure, provide details of your venue and audience — we can recommend the most suitable PA system from our range.

PA Delivery Guide

For smaller items, we use Parcelforce to ensure safe and reliable delivery. Larger PA systems are quoted individually and are delivered on a tracked van, complete with driver tracking for peace of mind.

While timed deliveries and collections are usually possible, we recommend allocating a full day for delivery and collection to ensure everything runs smoothly and your equipment is set up on time.
