Equipment Hire Scheme

In 2007 CUSU is trying out a new Equipment Hire Scheme. Under this scheme, individuals and societies will be able to hire certain items of equipment from CUSU. It should be noted that any money made from the scheme will go into buying further equipment, as well as covering running costs.

It is hoped that over the course of the academic year 2007-8 (and Easter 2006-7), that equipment that can be hired will increase. It is hoped that a projector can soon be purchased. Contact the CUSU Services Officer with any comments, or ideas on what next to purchase for the scheme.

To hire equipment, you must first book the equipment with CUSU reception, who you should contact in advance. To guarantuee the equipment is returned, and to pay for damages, a deposit is required for the equipment, which will be returned when you return your equipment. You will be responsible for all equipment once you have hired it out, and will cover all costs of equipment damage. We will need to see your Student ID Proof (your Cambridge University card.) You will be charged upfront the hire fee. See all fees/ what you can hire below.

Currently you can hire:

  • Projector (with remote control, portable stand and portable screen.)
    • £22.50 a day for hire.
    • £100 deposit needed, and student ID (Cambridge University card.)

Mixing desk Microphone
  • Professional audio recordings equipment- recording desk, two microphones, cables and microphone stands.
    • The Recorded Drama Society owns all of the equipment required to make
      professional audio recordings. This includes a recording desk, two
      microphones, cables and microphone stands.
    • Services- Due to the specialist nature of the equipment, the equipment must always be handled by a trained member of the Recorded Drama Society. However, any current member of the University is able to take advantage of the equipment when a trained member of the Recorded Drama Society is available.
    • Cost- A rough cost for the use of these facilities is £5 - £10 per studio hour.
      The society is also able to edit recordings and produce or help to produce
      a finished product, usually for an additional cost. This cost is applied on
      an individual basis.
    • If you are interested in taking advantage of these
      facilities, or for more information about what the society can help you
      with, please eMail rds-technical@srcf.ucam.org
