Buy New and Used Amplifier
Used professional amplifiers from the world’s top pro audio brands give touring companies, festival engineers and venue installers access to serious power and reliability without paying new equipment prices. At Music Concert Event, we specialise in sourcing, inspecting and selling used pro audio amplifiers from four of the most respected names in the industry, namely Powersoft, Crown, Lab Gruppen and MC2 Audio. Furthermore, we maintain EU warehouse stock with regular arrivals of ex-rental and ex-demo touring amplifiers, so buyers across the USA and Europe can find the right units at the right price.
The Four Brands We Stock and Why They Matter
Each brand in our amplifier category brings something distinct to the professional audio market. First, Powersoft is an Italian manufacturer known for building some of the most power-dense and energy-efficient touring amplifiers available today. We regularly stock used Powersoft amplifiers including the X8, X4, Quattrocanali and Mezzo series. As a result, buyers who work with L-Acoustics, Funktion One or d&b audiotechnik systems will find Powersoft units that pair directly with their existing speaker inventory.
Crown is an American brand with decades of presence in live sound, touring and installed audio. We stock used Crown amplifiers across their most popular lines, including the Crown XTi, Crown iTech, Crown DCi and Crown XLS series. Moreover, Crown amplifiers are well known for their straightforward operation and durability, which makes them a popular choice for rental companies that need dependable gear that works every time.
Lab Gruppen is a Swedish manufacturer with a strong reputation in the touring and installation markets. Our used Lab Gruppen amplifier inventory includes the PLM series, Lake LM 44 processor amplifiers and the FP series. Additionally, Lab Gruppen units are widely used alongside leading speaker brands and consequently attract buyers who want precise control over their system processing.
MC2 Audio and What Makes It Stand Out
MC2 Audio is a British amplifier brand that has built a loyal following in the touring and rental market. We stock used MC2 Audio amplifiers including the E45, Delta series and T series units. Furthermore, MC2 Audio is recognised for its robust build quality and consistent performance in demanding live environments. Sound engineers who work with high-end speaker systems often choose MC2 Audio amplifiers because of their reliable output and clean signal delivery.
In addition to stocking individual amplifier units, we also offer complete amplifier rack packages sourced from touring productions. Therefore, buyers who need a full drive system rather than individual units can contact us to discuss complete rack configurations from any of the four brands.
Who These Amplifiers Are For
Used pro audio amplifiers from our inventory suit a wide range of professional buyers. Touring sound engineers choose our stock because it gives them proven road-ready units with documented rental histories. Similarly, event production companies use our amplifier inventory to scale up their touring packages ahead of busy festival seasons. Venue installers also turn to us regularly because our stock covers both touring and installation grade amplifiers across all four brands.
Furthermore, rental companies find our used professional amplifiers particularly useful for expanding existing fleets with compatible units from the same brand family. Because of this, many of our repeat buyers return each season to add new stock as ex-rental units become available from major European touring productions.
Condition, Inspection and Buying Benefits
We inspect every used professional amplifier before we list it for sale. Our team checks output performance, channel integrity, cooling systems, connectors and firmware where applicable. Therefore, buyers receive accurate condition information with every listing. We also offer additional photos and video inspection calls for buyers who want a closer look before purchasing.
Moreover, we welcome in-person warehouse inspection visits at our EU facility in France, available by appointment. This option works well for buyers considering larger amplifier orders or complete touring rack packages. In addition, all units come with flight cases included as standard, and we sell everything as margin VAT items for simplified professional invoicing.
Finally, we ship regularly to buyers in the USA with full export documentation and trusted freight partners. For additional technical support and compatibility references, our partners at sasphonik.com and bostonprosounds.com offer further resources for amplifier integration with leading speaker systems.
