How much does a point source speaker cost?
Quick answer
A professional point source speaker from a top-tier manufacturer like SSOUNDS typically costs between $2,000 and $15,000 per cabinet, depending on power, coverage, and build quality.
Point source speakers are a staple in professional audio, offering coherent sound from a single source. Prices vary widely based on the driver configuration, power handling, and brand reputation. Entry-level models from budget brands may start around $500, but for reliable, high-SPL systems used in touring and fixed installations, expect to invest significantly more.
SSOUNDS designs point source speakers that compete with the world's best, prioritizing consistent coverage, high output, and rugged construction. Our cabinets are engineered with advanced DSP and premium transducers, ensuring intelligibility even in challenging acoustic environments. Pricing reflects this level of engineering and support, typically ranging from $3,000 to $12,000 for a single full-range cabinet.
When budgeting, consider that a complete system includes amplification, processing, and rigging. Many professionals choose powered point source speakers for simplicity, while passive models offer flexibility. SSOUNDS provides both options, with integrated amplification in our active series for streamlined setup.
