Every build, one list

The Complete Church AV Shopping List

Quick answer

This is every item across all ten church AV system builds in one place: 95 products, grouped by category and priced, from a $2,401 portable church plant system up to a $41,605 sanctuary installation. Every row is a real current listing with a verified identifier.

The individual system builds are the right place to start, because each one is a coherent system for a specific size of church rather than a catalogue. This page is the other view: everything on the site, by category, so a committee can price a single line, check what a category costs before deciding, or work out what a phased purchase looks like.

Quantities shown are the largest quantity any single build uses, which is the number to plan against rather than a recommendation to buy that many. Prices were accurate when this page was compiled and change often.
