We ranked the used line array systems that rental companies actually keep buying, based on rider acceptance, spare parts availability, rigging condition and resale value. Prices are typical grade B FOB Guangzhou and change with stock.

Each system was scored on four criteria: rider acceptance (can you send it out without a client complaint), serviceability (driver and amplifier availability), rigging condition (what fails first on used units) and resale value after three more years. Scores are weighted equally. No supplier paid for placement.
For a room with a 12-18 metre throw, four to six modules per side is typical. Above 20 metres, plan for eight per side and a sub array. Send us the room dimensions and we will model it.
Not always. Fly bars, bumpers and link plates are often sold separately because they are the parts that get lost. Always price the full hang, not just the cabinets.
Only after a rigging inspection. We check every pin, cheek plate and bolt before listing, and we will not sell a cabinet with a cracked rigging plate, whatever the cosmetic grade.
A practical 12-point inspection routine for used line array modules, covering drivers, rigging, amplifier modules and the things sellers usually forget to mention.
Send your room dimensions, ceiling height and music style. We will reply with a recommended used system and a landed-cost estimate.
