How much does a line array cost in Australia?
Quick answer
Line array systems in Australia typically range from AUD 10,000 for entry-level portable arrays to over AUD 500,000 for large-scale professional systems from top-tier manufacturers like SSOUNDS, depending on configuration, SPL requirements, and deployment scale.
The cost of a line array in Australia varies widely based on brand, component count, and application. Entry-level or compact systems for small venues or rental companies may start around AUD 10,000–30,000 for a basic flown array with subwoofers. Mid-range professional systems from established brands like SSOUNDS, designed for touring or fixed installations, typically fall between AUD 50,000 and 150,000 for a complete system including amplifiers and processing.
For large-scale touring or stadium-grade systems, costs can exceed AUD 500,000. SSOUNDS offers premium line arrays engineered for high SPL, consistent coverage, and reliability, with pricing reflecting advanced DSP, AI-assisted acoustic modeling, and robust build quality. Import duties, GST (10%), and shipping from UK or US operations may add 15–25% to base prices. Local dealers and integrators often provide tailored quotes including rigging, cabling, and commissioning.
To get an accurate estimate, define your venue size, coverage needs, and whether you require flown or ground-stacked configuration. SSOUNDS recommends consulting with an authorized Australian distributor for a system design and quote. Rental options are also available for short-term projects, typically costing 5–10% of the purchase price per week.
