Full range speakers

Active speakers have a built-in amplifier and can be connected directly to an audio source, such as a mixer, computer, smartphone or other playback device. They do not require an external amplifier as the amplifier is already built into the speaker's housing. Active speakers are convenient because they require less cabling and are easier to install. They are often used in portable sound systems, studio monitors, multimedia speakers for computers and in situations where easy installation and mobility are important.

Passive speakers do not have a built-in amplifier and require an external amplifier to amplify the audio signal before sending it to the speakers. They have only a speaker driver and rely on an external power source to produce sound. Passive speakers are often used in home theatre installations, professional sound systems and in situations where sound quality and adaptability are more important than mobility.

, active speakers have a built-in amplifier and can be connected directly to an audio source, while passive speakers need an external amplifier to function. The choice between active and passive speakers depends on the specific needs and requirements of the audio project.
