Power Amplifier Hire
Power amplifier hire from Show Works, covering everything from a single small cabinet to a full touring PA amp rack. The core of the stock is EM Acoustics DQ series DSP amplifiers — the natural partners for our EM Acoustics loudspeakers — alongside Powersoft, Lab Gruppen, QSC and Audac units for installation-style jobs, 100V line paging and background music systems.
Amplifiers go out tested, racked with the appropriate power supply, with Speakon and signal cabling available on request from our cable stock. If you are pairing amplification with our loudspeakers, ask and we can spec the rack for you.

Common questions
Do your amplifiers come with DSP on board?
The EM Acoustics DQ series, Powersoft and Lab Gruppen IPD units are DSP amplifiers with speaker presets available. The simpler Audac, QSC and JB Systems units are conventional amplifiers suited to background music and utility roles.
Can you supply an amplifier for a 100V line system?
Yes — the Audac range and the Adastra RS120 cover 100V line paging and distributed speaker systems of the kind used in foyers and front-of-house areas.
Is cabling included?
Speakon and signal cabling is hired from our cable stock and added to the same order, when specified, so everything arrives together and is tested as a system.
Will you load the presets before my hire?
Yes - We will pre-load the correct amp presets before the kit leaves us.
