Speakers
Active Speakers
Active speakers contain a built-in amplifier, which means they can be directly connected to an audio source without the need for external amplifiers. This makes them easy to use and quick to set up, ideal for mobile DJs and events where fast sound installations are required.
Advantages of active speakers:
Ease of use: No separate amplifier needed, which speeds up and simplifies the setup process.
Compact and portable: Ideal for DJs who perform regularly at different locations, such as clubs, festivals, or private events.
Better control over sound: Since the amplifier is integrated, active speakers often come with built-in equalizers or DSP (digital signal processing), allowing easy adjustment of sound for different environments.
Reliability: Since everything is integrated into one unit, active speakers tend to be more reliable, especially in mobile environments where setup and teardown of equipment is involved.
Popular brands offering active speakers for DJs and events include QSC, JBL, Mackie, and Electro-Voice.
Passive Speakers
Passive speakers do not have a built-in amplifier, meaning they require an external amplifier to produce sound. These speakers are often used for larger events where more powerful amplification is needed, or in fixed sound installations such as concert halls and clubs.
