FAQ

What are active speakers?


Active speakers, also called powered speakers, have built-in amplifiers, meaning they don’t require an external amp to produce sound. Just plug them in, connect your audio source, and you're ready to go.

Are active speakers good for music production?


Absolutely. Many studio monitors are active speakers, offering flat frequency response and accurate sound reproduction, making them a top choice for music producers and audio engineers.

How are active speakers different from passive speakers?


Passive speakers need an external amplifier to work, while active speakers have their own built-in power source and amp. This makes active speakers more convenient and portable for many users.

Can I connect a subwoofer to active speakers?


Some active speakers have subwoofer outputs or can be paired with a subwoofer via a mixer or audio interface, depending on the setup.
