What Are Active Loudspeakers?

Active loudspeakers are speakers with built-in amplifiers, which means that they do not require an external amplifier and can produce sound as long as they are connected to a power source and input music signals. The advantage of this type of speaker is that the system is simple and does not require additional post-stage equipment, so it is widely used in professional fields such as studio monitor speakers and engineering speakers. What's more, active loudspeakers also combine many functions such as crossover, limiting, delay, parametric equalization, graphic equalization and level control, and are combined with power amplifiers in one device, directly connected to the speaker unit, making it convenient and efficient to use.

In addition to professional fields, active loudspeakers are also commonly used in sound reinforcement systems, professional audio for monitors, and even home audio equipment such as subwoofers and Bluetooth speakers. It should be noted that the crossover settings of this type of speaker are different, and the specific choice depends on where and how you use it. In short, active loudspeakers are both professional and flexible, and can meet different scenarios and needs.
