What Are Passive Speakers and when should you use them?
Understanding Passive Speakers
Passive speakers are audio devices that rely on external amplifiers to produce sound. Because they don’t have their own amplifiers, you need to connect them to an external source. This makes them more versatile because you can pair them with different amplifiers depending on your needs. However, setting them up might take a bit more effort compared to active speakers. Passive speaker are the ideal choice for the majority of professional audio installaitons. The simple cable requirements coupled with the ability to centralise the amplifer rack, typically make them the go too choice for installations globally.
Advantages of Using Passive Speakers
Using passive speakers has several advantages. For example, they tend to be lighter and easier to carry around because there’s no amplifier inside. Also, they often provide better sound quality since the amplifier can be chosen separately. They can also be "processed" with the use of external professional audio processors and cross overs. So, if you’re looking for high-end audio performance, passive speakers might be the right choice. But remember, you’ll need to invest in a good amplifier too.
Tips for Setting Up Passive Speakers
Setting up passive speakers is not as complicated as it seems. First, make sure you choose the right amplifier based on your speaker's impedance and power requirements. Then, use quality cables to connect everything together. Because the connection affects sound quality, investing in good cables is important. So, even though passive speakers require extra steps, the results are worth it.
