Pricing Structure
At MTE, we’re committed to straightforward, transparent pricing. Whether you're sourcing cinema speakers or digital equipment, we want our customers to understand exactly how pricing works, without surprises.
MSRP and NET Pricing Explained
Some of our vendors require us to display MSRP only (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) due to Minimum Advertised Price agreements. When this policy is in place, we cannot publicly show our discounted NET price—even though we offer one.
Here’s how to interpret what you see on our product pages:
- If you see a price listed below a crossed-out MSRP, that’s our actual discounted price. We are allowed to display that because the vendor does not restrict pricing visibility.
- If you only see the MSRP, that means the vendor does not allow us to show our NET price online, but you can still call or email us for a better offer.
We follow these rules to protect our vendor relationships and maintain trust with our partners.
What to Expect
For most items with MSRP-only display, our NET pricing is significantly lower. Just reach out to us directly with the product name or link, and we’ll respond with your exclusive offer, including shipping details if needed.
Categories Affected by MSRP Display
Only a few vendors require this. These typically include select models of cinema speakers, amplifiers, or digital projection gear. Many of our accessories and other listings already show discounted pricing—no call necessary.
Vintage Cinema Collection – Best Offers Welcome
For our Vintage Cinema Collection, we do things a little differently. These rare, historically significant pieces often vary in condition, availability, and collectibility. That’s why we gladly accept best offers on these items. If you see something you love, don’t hesitate to reach out with your offer—we’ll work with you to make it happen.
Custom Quotes Available
If you're building a full system or bundling multiple components, we can provide project-specific pricing. We also offer crating and freight estimates to match your timeline and destination.
