Speakers- Active
Active (or powered) speakers have built-in amplifiers  .  They connect directly to the mixer of your sound system. Some of the benefits of active speakers include:
  • Better quality active speakers have separate amplifiers for the bass  and treble frequencies
  • The use of two amplifiers in each speaker (also known as bi-amplified) gives better clarity and a much punchier sound.
  • Manufacturers can match the on-board amplifiers to the capabilities of the speakers
  • Manufacturers can build in systems to help prevent the speakers from being damaged
