2. Active speakers can be used as long as they are connected to a power supply and a marker. The operation is very simple and there is no need to add power amplifiers. It has a complete drive circuit, the sound quality is relatively stable, and it is not affected by other equipment, and it saves space when used.

Passive speakers need to be connected to power amplifiers, and their sound quality will be affected by other devices. However, passive speakers are more flexible in terms of tuning, and the effect of speakers can be improved by other equipment.

Passive speakers do not need to be connected to the power line, only the signal line.

Because there are so many types of passive speakers, other equipment needs to be added, so it will take up more space.

3. Which is better, the active speaker or the passive speaker? Because the active speaker has a power amplification circuit in the speaker, for example, the active speaker is used on the computer. It is directly connected to the sound card of the computer, which is easy to cause some resonance. or electromagnetic interference, etc.

Passive speakers can adjust the sound to the best state without interference from other devices, so the sound quality will be better.

Passive speakers are usually larger and bulkier, not as compact as active speakers.

4. Passive speakers are usually used in professional places. Because of its professional features, its price will be higher than that of active speakers. Speaker enthusiasts will prefer passive speakers. In addition to professional sound quality, their price factors also include brand and emotional value.

Among mid-to-high-end priced speakers, the quality of passive speakers is better than that of active speakers.

Among low-end speakers, it is generally difficult to distinguish the sound quality of passive speakers and active speakers.

After reading the above introduction, do you now understand which is better, active speakers or passive speakers? When choosing a speaker, you should choose according to your own use place and needs.
