Microphones & Direct Boxes

Wired, wireless, and DI solutions for any stage, podium, or panel setup.

Microphone Rental in Nashville — Pick the Right Mic for the Job

A microphone choice can make or break an event. The wrong wireless system drops out mid-keynote. The wrong handheld picks up HVAC rumble through the entire ceremony. The wrong DI sends a buzzing ground loop straight into the line array. Nashville Audio Visual stocks the mics that working engineers actually trust — not the cheapest box on Amazon, but the gear that delivers clean intelligible audio in real-world ballrooms, churches, and outdoor venues.

Wireless systems

Our Sennheiser EW G4 wireless mic kits are the workhorse of every panel discussion, keynote, fashion show, and wedding ceremony we run. Available as individual handhelds or as our Quad Pack with paddles for multi-presenter coordination, the G4 series gives you rock-solid frequency stability and clean handoffs even in RF-congested hotel ballrooms. We also coordinate frequencies for you ahead of the show — no on-site scanning required.

Wired microphones

For vocals, instruments, and anywhere you don’t need wireless mobility, we carry the industry-standard Shure SM58 (the gold-standard vocal mic), Shure SM57 (snare, guitar cabs, brass), full Shure drum mic kits, and AKG P170 small-diaphragm condensers for choir, drum overheads, and acoustic instruments. Need a podium? The Shure MX412 gooseneck is the most common request we get for corporate keynotes and award ceremonies.

Direct boxes (DIs)

Plugging a laptop, keyboard, or instrument straight into a snake without a DI is a one-way ticket to a hum-filled program. We carry Radial ProDI mono passive DIs (the touring-standard for keyboards and acoustic-electric guitars), Radial ProD2 stereo DIs (for stereo keyboards and laptop outputs), and RapcoHorizon passive laptop and stereo DIs for general AV and presentation needs. Each one drops your signal level, balances the line, and lifts ground — eliminating buzz before it hits the mixer.

Need a mic plot for your specific event? Send us your run-of-show — we’ll spec the exact mics, channels, and wireless frequencies and have it ready when the truck rolls.
