How it works

A party without speakers, with every beat

At a silent disco the music travels straight to your guests' wireless headphones. Around the dance floor it is quiet; on it, the party is in full swing.

1

Plug in the music

Your DJ, or your playlist, connects to a transmitter: one channel per DJ or genre, up to three.

2

The signal goes out

The transmitter sends the music by radio frequency to every headphone, with no cables and no lag.

3

Guests pick a channel

One button changes the channel and a dial sets the volume. The LED glows in the colour of the channel playing.

Why silent disco

Loud music in the headphones, calm all around

No noise complaints

The music stays in the headphones: ideal in residential estates, guesthouses, game lodges and venues with sound limits.

Your own volume

Each guest sets their own level: loud for the dance-floor regulars, gentle for grandparents and little ones.

Three genres, one floor

Three channels at once: amapiano, house and 80s classics in the same space, with no fights over the playlist.

Talk without shouting

Slip the headphones down to your neck to chat: the party becomes more social, not less.

A glowing dance floor

The LEDs light up in the colour of each channel, so you see at a glance who is listening to what.

Ready for load shedding

The headphones run up to 10 hours on their own battery and the TX-330 transmitter has a built-in one too.

Across South Africa

Silent disco in your city

From Gauteng to the Cape Winelands and the KwaZulu-Natal coast: the kit is shipped from our European warehouses and arrives one or two days before your event. Book well in advance.

FAQ

Before you plan your silent disco

What is a silent disco?

A party where the music comes through wireless headphones instead of speakers. Each guest picks a channel and sets the volume; slide the headphones off and you can chat normally. You may also hear it called a silent party or headphone party.

How many headphones should I hire?

Normally one for every guest who wants to dance. We help you work out the number for your crowd, and every kit includes spare headphones.

How many DJs can play at the same time?

Up to three, because the headphones have three channels. Each LED lights up in the colour of the channel being heard.

Does it work during load shedding?

The headphones run on their own battery for up to 10 hours and the TX-330 transmitter has a built-in battery. With a laptop or phone as the music source, a power cut need not stop the dancing.

How far ahead should I book?

Well in advance. The kit ships from our European warehouses with a dedicated express service and arrives one or two days before the event; shipping times and customs paperwork are agreed when we quote. For December and the festive season, book early.

Are the headphones clean?

Yes: every headphone is cleaned and sanitised before each hire.
