Whether you go with active or passive speakers will largely depend on your audio setup and your willingness to pair your speakers with an external amplifier. A multiroom audio setup with in-ceiling or in-wall speakers will likely require a separate amp for power. But you can also achieve phe...
Active speakers have built-in amplifiers. This eliminates the need for an external amplifier since the speaker can amplify audio signals internally. This type of speaker is a good option for people who want an all-in-one product. Passive bookshelf speakers, on the other hand, require an exter...
Like a microphone signal needs to run through a preamplifier to reach line-level does a line-level signal need to run through an amplifier to reach speaker level. Passive speakers like consumer hi-fi stereo systems require external power via an amplifier. Meanwhile, active speakers like ...
Look, Mackie want to make things as easy for you as possible. Matching speakers to amps can suck the fun out of an otherwise pleasant trip to the music store. Keeping that in mind, PPM mixers and Mackie passive speakers were made for each other. From our popular C series (C300/200) ...
What’s the difference between passive and active subwoofers? Likepassive loudspeakers, a passive subwoofer requires external amplification. Because they tend to be less efficient, subwoofers require more power than typical speakers, so you need to make sure that your chosen amplifier can deliver eno...
What changes need to be made for stereo and Dolby? I could be moving around the speakers, trying different combinations of adjustments and acoustics treatments for years and still not get it right. Is there such literature out there that explains how DSP setting effect the sound? Doodski ...
Headphones, microphones, and speakers all have a specificfrequency response.Chartsdenote how well something can reproduce an audio signal across a specific frequency range. A commonly used frequency range is 20Hz-20kHz; these are the lowest and highest frequencies the human ear can register. ...
Abdul Azeez:I have a pretty decent (definitely not audiophile level!) amplifier and set of speakers but I still crave for the sound of the 80's, especially the sound of the large Sharp and Panasonic boomboxes of that time. Most probably because I had better ears then and I simply don'...
to just choosing a loudspeaker than use case and room size, and one of the more recent decisions you will face would be about choosing an active or a passive loudspeaker. What this means when broken down to its simplest form is: do you want a speaker with an amplifier built in or not...
yet be inaudible on small speakers because it lacks weight in the low midrange. We could address this by applying both a low shelving boost from, say, 300Hz down, and a high‑pass filter turning over at 60 or 80 Hz. This would reduce the amplitude of the low‑frequency fundamentals ...
