Active speakers are also known as ‘amplified speakers’ or ‘powered speakers’ as they feature an internal amplifier, which provides power to the drivers and removes the need for an external standalone amplifier. Active speakers are also quick and easy to install so you can enjoy high-quality sound immediately. Because active speakers do not need a separate amplifier, they are perfect for use with computers on a desktop or in a living room or kitchen and they are often the best solution when there is limited space for the stereo system. Active speakers are mostly built with the same attention to detail as typical passive speakers, so it’s easy to find a product that looks and sounds great in any room.
