My friend has sorted the PA and lights
Black fabric or a tablecloth big enough to cover your folding table to the ground, and tape to secure any cables that may end up tripping someone. I usually have a mic for announcements, too.
hmm…Never had that problem. I just think it looks more pro to not see a bunch of cables coiled up or dangling under the table. Plus you can stash your dj bag, jacket, etc. out of sight.
