IF your talking about the speaker in general, if your talking about the crossover this statement is not true. When talking about the Jubilee and they say active they are talking about the crossover not the whole speaker. This is not the generic "powered" thing you read about in a general conversation. This "active is referring to the crossover only not the whole speaker. Big difference, two totally different designs. They can be combined together yes, but that's not what was discussed in this thread. DO NOT CONFUSE THE TWO, TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS. And there is no reason to call anyone names, it's not middle school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The younger generation may be an adapter early, depending on size. It would need all the quirks completely worked out with reliable good reputation.

Moderators dtel Posted May 10, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 10, 2021 12 minutes ago, RandyH000 said: let's confirm -----THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SPEAKERS: Yes An active speaker has an amplifier to power it and only needs a source. It has it's crossover passive or active depending on what the designer wanted, most of the time a passive crossover. An active crossover needs a source and a amplifier. All the adjustments usually made by caps, and whatever parts used is done by the active crossover not in the speaker. An active speaker with an active crossover only needs a source. When a speaker has an active crossover it is a active digital crossover and not a crossover with capacitors and other parts like the average speaker. The active crossover is adjusting everything including time delay for different drivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the average person the statement "Active and Passive speaker" would mean powered or not. This is the average thought if you did not know about active crossovers. The confusing part is some may take the word passive as not powered, and active as powered. On a simple design ok, on a speaker more advanced it's not the case at all. For anyone who has used speakers that are active crossovers would never confuse the two, and would probably never buy a powered speaker.

Bullzeye -- some clients would prefer to Pay More for a Powered Heritage Active speaker to do away with the expenses related to , external amplifiers , preamps , DAC , PHONO PREAMP , wiring and cabling , passive crossovers , DSP etc - others would prefer the passive speaker option with a passive crossover or with an active crossover , so yes , Options are ideal to suit various Clients - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
