Active DJ Speakers

Buy Active DJ Speakers

Active DJ speakers use a custom-designed, protective and tightly sealed enclosure which assists immensely with sound quality and sonic efficiency. This is paired up with modern resin cones with synthetic surrounds, dampers, large natural or synthetic magnets, and a steel-framed chassis in front of the main driver units, allowing for large movement swings with no damage to the inner materials. It is very difficult to blow or tear a powered DJ speaker woofer, and doing so is usually user error as they are engineered to deal with relative power.

Active DJ speakers use energy-efficient digital amplifier modules to provide large surge currents for when the bass inevitably gets heavy. Inbuilt active crossover networks ensure that the incoming signal is sent only to the appropriate part of the speaker, be it a 2-way woofer and tweeter system, or a 3-way woofer, tweeter and midrange driver type unit. All of the DJ powered speakers for sale manage and distribute the audio and required power level in a way that just wasn't possible in the older passive systems.

The days of tired-looking, carpet-covered wood are pretty much over, cabinets are now predominantly injection moulded from polyester or acrylic-based resins, which makes them extremely strong. This also allows custom designs such as incorporated feet and carry handles making them easy to clean, easy to transport, and much to the joy of the mobile DJ, the weight is half that of a traditional wood enclosure. The moulded form also means they are airtight and require a minimal amount of upkeep.

Powered DJ Speakers

As mentioned, there are many powered DJ speakers available, a good quality pair of active 3-way, 15-inch speakers will easily take the place of an old passive setup that would have required twice the amount of drivers and at least 2 separate amplifiers to get similar output levels. Consider factoring in an additional active subwoofer unit to one of the DJ powered speakers for sale, reducing pressure on the main speakers to produce a clearer low end. The days of woolly sounding bass and distortion at higher levels are long gone.

No need for amp cases or racks, crossover units or equalisers, you have the power and sound definition of multiple separate amps in your setup without actually having to own and carry large and heavy power amplifiers. Active speakers have gain and equalisation controls on the input panels, so setup is simple and quick, with any additional level control being done from your mixer. Additional usage of an active subwoofer will automatically filter the signal, and feed the main speaker with everything above those lower frequencies, which are then re-filtered and amplified.

Though some high-end systems do allow adjustments of these crossover points, for the majority of units it is simply plug-and-play, making setup quick and trouble-free, and ensuring you are always getting the very best from the system. Speaker stands can be attached to active DJ speakers too, quickly foldable to be placed into padded storage/transport bags whenever needed. Naturally, this also protects the stands from physical knocks and the element of the weather, in short, the whole system can be put up or broken down in a very short time, is easy to carry, and will take up the minimum of vehicle space.

Apart from the obvious benefits mentioned above, it is the overall value for money you get with an all active system that is the main pull factor.

What are active speakers?

Active speakers have their very own amplifier built within them, eliminating the necessity of an external power amplifier. Their passive counterparts need an external amplifier connection to draw power, once plugged into a power source a pair of modern active speakers can connect with smart devices via Bluetooth to play audio at volume hassle-free.

Each speaker has a different set of features built into it, but if you are looking for speakers that specifically have Bluetooth you should look for any mentions of the abbreviation BT. This information is often found within the descriptions or perhaps the associated imagery of the respective speaker product pages. Once confirmed and your speaker has arrived at your chosen address, you can connect to the speakers with simplicity by finding the Bluetooth function within your smart device settings.

You may need to press some type of BT button on the speaker, this will usually transmit the pairing signal to your chosen compatible device. Once it has shown up on your device, tap that and you are then free to enjoy any audio you choose at a heightened volume for yourself or guests to enjoy. DJs can select a choice of music, a leisurely podcast, perhaps an audiobook that teaches them about beat matching, sports coverage, literally anything you want to hear is probably available via the internet.
