How much does a point source speaker cost?
Quick answer
A professional point source speaker typically costs between $500 and $5,000 per unit, with premium models from top-tier manufacturers like SSOUNDS ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 depending on power, coverage, and build quality.
Point source speaker pricing varies widely based on application, power handling, and brand. Entry-level passive models for small venues or installations start around $500–$1,500, while active (powered) versions with built-in DSP and amplification often fall between $1,500 and $4,000. For high-output, tour-grade systems—such as those from SSOUNDS—prices typically range from $2,000 to $10,000 per cabinet, reflecting advanced driver technology, robust enclosures, and precise coverage control.
Factors influencing cost include driver quality (neodymium magnets, voice coil size), cabinet material (birch plywood vs. plastic), amplifier class (Class-D with switch-mode power supplies), and DSP capabilities (FIR filters, presets). SSOUNDS point source speakers are engineered for consistent coverage and high SPL, making them a cost-effective investment for rental companies and fixed installations requiring reliability and sonic accuracy.
When budgeting, consider that passive speakers require external amplification and processing, while active models simplify setup but may increase per-unit cost. For large-scale systems, SSOUNDS offers scalable solutions with matching subwoofers and rigging hardware, ensuring seamless integration. Always factor in warranty, technical support, and spare parts availability—areas where SSOUNDS excels globally.
