Cables & Accessories for Education

Cables and Accessories: over the past 30 years, the staff at Factory Sound have learnt all about the little things that can hold up a show (or a lesson): and it’s often the little things.

That’s why we keep a huge range of pre-made cables, batteries and gaffer tapes, and a variety of spares to make things work – like microphone clips. We even keep shot bags in stock. 

Pre-made Cables

It’s quite possibly the largest range of cables in stock, anywhere in Australia. Factory Sound uses and recommends all kinds of cables, including Reference (handmade, in house at Factory Sound), Cordial Cables, Hosa Interconnect, Sommer pre-made cable, and Lindy. Here is a short selection of our most popular cables for schools.

Tapes, Wraps & Shot Bags

Why are there so many kinds of Gaffer Tape now? We’re glad you asked. Genuine Nashua 357 gaffer tape is totally rock n roll, and you can also use it for car repairs. Tenacious Tapes provide a slightly more gentle approach, which is often favoured for performing arts stages, where we don’t want to peel off all the paint after use. If you need batteries for wireless microphones, look no further than Procell Intense range. They’re used by professionals around the world, and Factory Sound has them at a very school-friendly price.

Microphone & Speaker Stands

Easily the most robust stand in the land (backed by a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defect), genuine K&M Stands are made in Germany and are our first choice for school applications.

Cables & Accessories (and spares!)

Spare microphone grilles and clips, plus a range of other accessories. Factory Sound is well-respected for keeping a large range of essentials in stock. Here are some that suit school applications.

Cables & Accessories for Education

Sometimes a cable gets ‘borrowed’ from one teaching space – the prime culprit is currently HDMI cables. It used to be mini jack cables. Grab some extra spares and accessories at the start of the school year to make sure things move smoothly.
We ship Australia-wide. Don’t worry if you can’t get down to our South Melbourne or North Parramatta stores. For over 30 years, we have supplied schools and universities around Australia with high-quality and long-lasting gear reliably and safely delivered.
