Active speakers, also known as powered speakers, have built-in amplification that eliminates the need for a separate amplifier or receiver. This amplification is specifically designed for the speaker’s drivers and cabinetry, resulting in improved performance. Additionally, modern active speakers often come with wireless capabilities, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming from phones. They also offer physical connections for various devices like CD players, turntables, subwoofers, and TVs.
On the other hand, passive speakers require a separate amplifier or receiver and speaker cables for playback. While this may seem like an extra step, it allows for more versatility and compatibility with different systems and configurations. When properly cared for, passive speakers can last for many years.
