Active vs Passive Monitor Speakers

(Differences Explained)

Today, we’ll explain the difference between active vs passive speakers, the pros and cons, and how they really work.

Active Speakers

Active speakers come with a built-in amplifier, so all you need to do is to hook it up to a power source or a battery.

Passive Speakers

A passive speaker system needs to be connected to an external power amplifier.

What Are the Benefits of Active Speakers?

1. Active Speakers Are Easier to Set-up

2. Less Wires

3. More Convenient

4. Better-Integrated Sound

5. Good Crossover Network

6. Convenient for Large Site Set Up

What Are the Disadvantages of Active Speakers?

1. More Expensive

2. Tend to “Lock” You Into a Set-up

3. Sound Depends on the Quality of the Internal Parts and Crossover Components
