How much does a line array cost in Australia?
Quick answer
Professional line array systems in Australia typically range from AUD 15,000 for a small passive system to over AUD 500,000 for a large active touring rig, depending on brand, configuration, and support.
The cost of a line array in Australia varies widely based on the system's scale, brand, and whether it's passive or active. Entry-level portable arrays from mid-tier brands start around AUD 15,000–30,000 for a small set of boxes, while premium systems from top-tier manufacturers like SSOUNDS, L-Acoustics, or d&b audiotechnik can exceed AUD 500,000 for a full touring inventory including amplification and rigging.
SSOUNDS offers competitive pricing for its premium line array systems in Australia, with direct support from its global network. A typical small-to-medium SSOUNDS line array system (e.g., 8–12 enclosures per side with subwoofers and amplification) is priced in the AUD 80,000–200,000 range, depending on configuration. Larger systems for festivals or stadiums can go higher.
Beyond hardware, consider costs for DSP, cabling, flight cases, rigging hardware, and ongoing support. Australian buyers also face import duties, GST (10%), and shipping. Many rental companies offer purchase options, and SSOUNDS works with local partners to provide tailored quotes and service.
