Active Speakers FAQs

What is an active speaker?

Active speakers are a type of loudspeaker powered by their own built-in amplifier. This means that they do not require an external amplifier or receiver and only need a power socket to function. The benefit of this is that they can be connected directly to a source such as a computer, phone, or record player.


What is a passive speaker?

Passive speakers are loudspeakers that do not have a built-in amplifier. They need to be connected by speaker cable to an external power source such as an amplifier or receiver. Audio sources such as CD, vinyl record, or Blu-ray players can then be connected to the amplifier to transmit their audio signal to the speaker. Passive speakers are more common in HiFi audio.


Do I need active or passive speakers?

Whether you need active or passive speakers is decided by your system requirements. Passive speakers allow you to build a modular HiFi system and choose your own amplifier. Active speakers, on the other hand, are generally easier to set up and may include features such as wireless connectivity or smart home integration, making them a convenient, out-the-box solution.


Should I buy active speakers?

Active speakers are a good choice for those who want simplicity. By removing the need for an external power amplifier, you can enjoy an easy, plug-and-play solution. For anyone new to HiFi audio or with limited setup space, this is generally the less intimidating option at the loss of overall flexibility, as you will need fewer components.
