ONLINE AV AUCTION

AVGear's quarterly Pro AV auctions are a reliable source for tested PA cabinets and reinforcement speakers at prices driven by competitive bidding. Have speakers you're ready to move? Submit your gear to our next auction and we'll take it from there, handling listing, shipping, and payment.

What Are PA & Reinforcement Speakers?

PA (public address) and reinforcement speakers are designed to project sound to an audience. Unlike studio monitors built for critical listening in controlled environments, PA speakers prioritize output, coverage, and durability. They're engineered to deliver intelligible speech and full-range music reproduction across venues of all sizes - from conference rooms, outdoor events, and concert halls.

You'll find them on stages, in houses of worship, mounted in clubs and theaters, stacked at festivals, and deployed for corporate events. They work alongside subwoofers, amplifiers, processors, and mixing consoles to form complete sound reinforcement systems.

Have Questions?

What are the different types of PA speakers?

  • Powered Speakers – Self-contained units with a built-in amplifier. Connect signal and power, and you're ready to go. Ideal for portable setups and simplified rigging.
  • Passive Speakers – Require external amplification. Common in permanent installations and large-scale touring rigs where amp racks offer more flexibility and control.
  • Full-Range Speakers – Cabinets with multiple drivers covering bass, mids, and highs. Versatile boxes that work as mains, fills, or standalone systems for smaller applications.
  • Two-Way / Three-Way – Two-way cabinets use a woofer and horn; three-way designs add a dedicated midrange driver for a broader range of frequency response and more detailed reproduction.
  • Line Arrays – Vertical arrays of coupled cabinets that provide long-throw coverage with consistent SPL and frequency response across large audiences. The standard for concert touring and large venues.
  • Point Source Speakers – Single-cabinet designs with wide, predictable dispersion. Well-suited for smaller venues, fills, delays, and installations where line arrays aren't practical.
  • Stage Monitors – Wedge-shaped floor monitor cabinets positioned on stage for performer monitoring. Available in powered and passive configurations.
  • Installation Speakers – Speakers designed for permanent mounting in venues, theaters, houses of worship, and commercial spaces. Often include rigging points and weather-resistant options.

What's the difference between powered and passive PA speakers?

Powered speakers (also called active speakers) have a built-in amplifier. Connect signal and power, and you're ready to go. Passive speakers require external amplifiers matched to their power handling and impedance. Powered speakers simplify setup and reduce cable runs; passive speakers offer more flexibility in system design and amp selection.

How do I choose between a line array and point source speakers?

Line arrays excel at long-throw coverage with consistent sound quality across large audiences. These are ideal for concerts, festivals, and big venues. Point source speakers work well for smaller rooms, fills, delays, and installations where a single cabinet can cover the space. Many PA systems combine both for complete coverage.

Can I mix speaker brands in my system?

You can, but matching brands simplifies tuning and system integration. Manufacturers design speakers to work together with matched voicing, crossover points, and rigging. If you're mixing brands, you'll need to handle time alignment, crossover settings, and gain structure through your processor or DSP.

How important is portability when choosing PA speakers?

It depends on your application. Mobile DJs, rental companies, and event producers prioritize portability, like lightweight cabinets with handles, wheels, and compact footprints. Permanent installations can use heavier, install-grade speakers without concern for transport. Consider how often you'll move the gear and what vehicle or storage space you have.

Do any PA speakers have Bluetooth connectivity?

Some powered speakers include Bluetooth connectivity for wireless audio playback, which can be convenient for background music or simple playback applications. For professional live sound, most engineers prefer wired connections from a mixer for better sound quality, lower latency, and more reliable signal.

What advanced features should I look for in a powered speaker?

Depending on the model, powered speakers may include onboard DSP, multiple input options, speaker delay settings, EQ controls, and remote monitoring. Some portable units offer battery life for cordless operation and convenient storage options for cables and accessories. Consider which features matter for your application when comparing models.

Do used speakers come with covers or rigging hardware?

It varies by listing. Some include covers, yokes, pins, or other rigging hardware; others are sold as the cabinet only. Each listing specifies what's included, but contact us if you need specific accessories.

What brands of PA speakers does AVGear carry?

We stock models from JBL, Meyer Sound, d&b audiotechnik, L-Acoustics, QSC, RCF, Electro-Voice, Martin Audio, Yamaha, Turbosound, EAW, Adamson, Nexo, and more. Inventory changes regularly, so check back often or contact us if you're looking for something specific.
