What’s Covered with an Entertainment Equipment Floater?
Entertainment equipment runs the gamut. Live concert events use PA systems, mixing boards, monitors, microphones, cables, lighting, musical instruments, among other equipment. Recording studios use audio interfaces, recorders, mixers, headphones, amplifiers, mic stands, shock mounts, cables, and editing software. Post-production companies use everything from computer editing software, computer hardware, application/editing keyboards, workstations, and controllers to assist with video and film. Hardware, such as mini recorders, mini playback devices, and USBs that capture devices to transfer and stream content, are used for editing.
These and many other types of equipment require special insurance coverage to protect against loss due to theft and damage from fire, vandalism, breakage, and water. For example, thieves may steal equipment from a studio or venue. A camera lens could shatter if accidentally dropped, or a musical instrument could get damaged during transportation. A studio could experience a fire that destroys recording equipment, or a flood could damage lighting rigs in a venue. Vandals could slash speaker cones or spray paint equipment with graffiti.
Without adequate insurance protection, these and other losses can be costly to repair or replace equipment, not to mention the downtime and loss of revenue incurred for a company.
