Simon Illedits is a co-founder of Renty and writes about event technology for the Renty guide. He is responsible for the selection and testing of the entire rental inventory of sound, lighting, and media equipment. His focus is on how to properly size technology and set it up without any prior knowledge.

Simon Illedits is a co-founder of Renty and oversees the product range: which devices are added to the rental inventory, how they are tested and maintained, and how the plug-and-play packages are assembled. His connection to technology predates Renty. As a teenager, he built hi-fi systems and amplifiers, and he has been working as a DJ for over eight years, primarily at private parties and corporate events.

In 2022, he co-founded Renty in Graz with André Deutsch and Jakob Puck. When selecting equipment, he ensures that it remains easy to operate without instruction, as most customers are not technicians but people hosting their own events. Brands like HK Audio, LD Systems, SOUNDBOKS, JBL, and Pioneer DJ are in the inventory precisely because of this selection process.

In the Renty guide, Simon writes about event technology: sizing sound systems based on room size and guest count, speaker placement, lighting atmosphere and fog, projectors and screens, and power supply. He also points out limitations, such as the fact that projectors up to around 5,200 lumens cannot keep up in full daylight.

Active battery-powered speakers are the simplest solution for most floats; passive systems are only worth it for larger setups. Here you will find types, sizes, platform placement, and power planning.
