Active Speakers

Active Powered Speakers

Discover our range of professional active speakers from DAS Audio and Audiocenter – two trusted brands known for delivering powerful, high-quality sound in any environment. Also known as powered speakers, these systems feature built-in amplifiers, making them ideal for live music, DJ setups, corporate events, school productions, church sound systems, and mobile PA hire.

Why Choose Active Speakers? 

Active speakers are a smart choice when you want professional sound without a rack full of amplifiers. Each power active speaker has the amplifier built in and matched to the drivers, so you get a reliable, self-contained system that is easy to move, set up and scale.

• With no need for external amps, active PA speakers offer faster setup, fewer cables, and perfect power matching, giving you clean, consistent audio with minimal effort.
• Less guesswork and better protection because the amplifier, crossover and processing are designed to work together inside the cabinet, reducing the risk of overloading or mismatching your gear.
• Consistent sound in different venues, as each active loudspeaker behaves the same way whether it is in a small room, a hall or a marquee, making it easier to dial in a good mix.
• Flexible system growth, since you can add extra active powered speakers or a powered subwoofer as your events get bigger, without replacing your entire setup.

Choosing the Right Active Loudspeakers and Subwoofers

Once you have explored the range, it helps to think about how the system will actually be used. For speech-focused work such as conferences, assemblies and training, a pair of full-range active speakers may be all you need. For live bands, DJs and high-energy events, adding an active subwoofer or powered subwoofer will give you the impact that smaller tops cannot provide on their own.

Our team can guide you through:

• Selecting the right size and power rating for your active speakers
• Matching powered speakers with active subwoofers for balanced sound
• Choosing between portable options and permanent installations
• Understanding inputs, mixers and signal flow for your setup

Power Active Speaker FAQs

When do I need a powered subwoofer or an active subwoofer?

You add a powered subwoofer when you need more low end than your main active speakers can provide. DJs, live bands, theatre and bigger school or corporate events often benefit from an active subwoofer to give music more depth and impact.

Are active speakers better than passive speakers?

Active powered speakers are usually easier to set up and harder to mismatch, because the amplifier and speaker are designed to work together. Passive speakers can suit large fixed installs with central amplifiers. 

Are active speakers suitable for outdoor events?

Many active speakers and powered subwoofers are used for sports days, school fairs and community events. They just need sensible placement and protection from direct rain.
