L-Acoustics K2 Line Array Speaker

Tested
Grade A
Availability: In stock

Flagship array box with 143 dB peak output and a rigging system rental companies already own; L-Acoustics presets and spares remain the easiest in this list to source.

Best for: Main hangs for festival stages and 1,500–5,000-capacity rooms where rider acceptance decides the sale.

Watch out for: Rigging pins and shackles are often missing from trade-ins; confirm the original rigging set and that cabinet serials match the manufacturer record.

Drivers: 2 x 10" LF, 1 x 1.4" HF
Power: 2000 W AES
Coverage: 100° H × 10° V

Martin Audio Audience 12 Line Array Speaker

Tested
Grade A
Availability: In stock

Dual 12-inch boxes at 138 dB with integrated rigging; a lower-cost route into a full-size hang than a flagship system.

Best for: Mid-size festival and outdoor stages where four to eight boxes per side is enough.

Watch out for: Audience boxes are usually run hard: check every HF diaphragm and the grille before pricing, as replacement diaphragms are not cheap.

Drivers: 2 x 12" LF, 2 x 1.4" HF compression drivers
Power: 2000 W AES
Coverage: 90° H × 10° V

NEXO GEOS LD12 Line Array Speaker

Tested
Grade A
Availability: In stock

Four 12-inch drivers per box with 12 units in stock, so a complete left/right hang can ship from one lot with matching serials.

Best for: Rental fleets that need several identical boxes, not a single pair for one event.

Watch out for: At 58 kg per box the freight and rigging cost more than the cabinet itself; confirm the NEXO flying hardware and bumper travel with the lot.

Drivers: 4 x 12" LF, 2 x 1.4" HF
Power: 2400 W AES
Coverage: 90° H × 10° V

NEXO GEOS 1230 Line Array Module

Tested
Grade A
Availability: In stock

Compact 24 kg module with 90° × 60° coverage; the easiest NEXO box to hang when a small venue still needs a real array.

Best for: Small venues, corporate stages and installs with limited rigging capacity or trim height.

Watch out for: A single box covers wide, so arrays need bumpers and link bars that are sold separately — check they are included before ordering.

Drivers: 1 x 12" LF, 1 x 1.4" HF
Power: 1200 W AES
Coverage: 90° H × 60° V

Meyer Sound LEMur Line Array Speaker

Tested
Grade A
Availability: In stock

Self-powered compact array with integrated rigging points and Meyer processing; no amp rack to buy or rack-space to find.

Best for: Rooms where a powered array avoids installing a separate amp rack.

Watch out for: Powered Meyer boxes depend on their internal amplifiers; ask for a bench test of every module, not just the first one out of the crate.

Drivers: 2 x 8" LF, 1 x 1.4" HF
Power: 1000 W AES
Coverage: 90° H × 60° V

How we rank

Each unit in this list is photographed as it stands and bench-tested before it goes on the page. The order is set by our inventory team on parts availability, service history and how the model holds up in rental use — never by sponsorship or paid placement. We do not publish sales totals we cannot verify.

What to check before you buy

Ask for photos and a video of the exact serial number you will receive, not a stock picture.
Confirm amplifier, DSP presets and rigging hardware are included — they are the most expensive parts to source later.
Check driver surrounds for foam rot and ask whether any driver has been re-coned.
Match voltage and mains plug to your country before shipping; 110 V and 230 V versions are not interchangeable.
Budget for freight, duty and a service check on arrival — used gear is priced FOB, not delivered.

The scenario this shortlist is built for

Concert and festival PA system for touring and open-air stages Flown line arrays and stacked subs for touring and outdoor stages.

Buyer questions

Are the units in this ranking actually tested?

Yes. Each unit is powered up, run through its inputs and outputs and checked for noise, fan condition and channel balance in our warehouse. The test result is recorded against the serial number; ask us for it before you pay.

What condition grade do these units carry?

Grades are shown per unit: A means 90% or better cosmetic condition with no functional faults, B means visible wear but full function. The grade in the table is the grade of the actual cabinet you will receive.

Can you supply several units of the same model?

Often yes. Quantities change weekly because stock comes from trade-ins and rental fleet rotation. Tell us the model and quantity and we will confirm what is on the floor today.

How is used gear shipped and what if something arrives faulty?

We ship FOB port of loading by sea or air, crated or palletised for export. Every lot carries a 90-day test warranty: if a fault covered by the test report appears, we ship the replacement part or arrange a repair credit.
