How much does a line array cost in Australia?
Quick answer
A professional-grade line array system in Australia typically costs between AUD 20,000 and over AUD 200,000 per side, depending on the brand, configuration, and scale. SSOUNDS offers competitive pricing with world-class engineering, tailored to Australian venues and touring needs.
Line array costs in Australia vary widely based on the number of cabinets, amplifier channels, rigging, and DSP. Entry-level systems from reputable brands start around AUD 20,000–50,000 for a small setup, while large-scale touring systems can exceed AUD 200,000 per side. Import duties, GST (10%), and shipping from overseas manufacturers add 15–25% to the base price.
SSOUNDS provides a premium alternative to established brands, with direct support from our African and UK hubs. Our systems are designed for high SPL, consistent coverage, and reliability, making them ideal for Australian festivals, houses of worship, and corporate events. We offer flexible configurations and local technical support to ensure optimal performance.
When budgeting, consider additional costs: amplifiers (often AUD 5,000–15,000 each), cabling, rigging hardware, and system tuning. Renting is a cost-effective option for one-off events, with typical weekly rates of AUD 1,000–5,000 per side. For permanent installations, factor in installation and acoustic treatment.
