One of the most common questions we receive is: “Should I go with a line array or a point source?” The answer depends on several factors.

Point Source Systems

Ideal for small to medium-sized venues (up to ~500 people), clubs, bars, restaurants, and smaller events. Easier to transport, set up, and manage sound. Lower acquisition cost.

Line Array Systems

Designed for large venues (500+ people), open-air festivals, and large-scale events. Provide even coverage over long distances, controlled vertical dispersion, and higher max SPL.

The Right Selection Criteria

Think primarily about: how many people? what distance? indoor or outdoor space? Omicron Electronics offers free consulting to help you find the right system.
