Two friends, one festival, one speaker we could not stop thinking about. Today we bring SOUNDBOKS to 75+ locations.
We are Nik and Luc, founders of UNMUTE rent. We are both on the move a lot and almost always have music with us.
What started as a spontaneous idea on the drive home from a festival is now a rental network with 75+ locations: from Germany, Austria and Switzerland to Mallorca, Ibiza and Lisbon. We fell in love with SOUNDBOKS ourselves and now make it possible for everyone to experience it up close.
At a festival, our tent neighbours played a SOUNDBOKS for days. We did not know the brand, but we wanted one straight away. On the drive home, Nik had the idea: buy a SOUNDBOKS and rent it out through our own website.
We moved from Hamm to Hamburg to study and shared a flat. That is where the first rentals happened, for pick-up and by shipping. Demand grew, so more speakers, power stations and event tech followed.
After Hamburg came Berlin, Cologne and Munich. In 2021 our first external partner started in Berlin-Rummelsburg, and we still work together today. Within about two years the network grew to around 20 pick-up points in Germany.
Handling bookings by phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet stopped working at some point. In 2023 we introduced an online booking system. Since then you see availability and prices right away and book in a few minutes.
Since 2025 we have been an official SOUNDBOKS partner, working closely with founder Jesper. Our vision: make the SOUNDBOKS experience available everywhere.
You own a SOUNDBOKS or other gear that often sits around? We help you rent it out.
