Passive DJ Speakers

Passive disco speakers such as the units featured here are easy to transport between venues due to their carry handles and in some cases wheels. Passive DJ speakers will not work on their own, please note that an external amplifier purchase is necessary to use these speakers effectively. The speakers that are larger in size (12-inch to 15-inch) are suitable for small to medium-sized live music venues and can be set up for use in minutes.

Buy Passive DJ Speakers

The passive DJ speakers available are built from strong, robust material and with a protective metal grille in front of the main speaker driver. This metal grille shields the woofer from potential accidents all while maintaining a sleek and stylish finish for the speaker itself. Many working DJs like to save space when on the job, we stock mixer-amplifiers elsewhere in the store which can be used to power your passive disco speakers and also fine-tune your final sound output.

This saves bringing along a mixer and amplifier separately, DJs already have a huge amount of gear to move around in their vehicles so reducing the workload is appreciated by many professionals. Some speakers are covered in a carpeted material, protecting the cabinet from accidental scuffs and scrapes that may occur during normal transit. Each speaker model has a unique set of capabilities, be sure to look at the item specifications upon the respective item pages for more details.

Passive Disco Speakers

Passive disco speakers remain an effective choice for the working DJ, even despite their active counterparts generally being a lot more popular in recent years. Often used in nightclubs and other nightlife hotspots, these speakers are often mounted to the walls when inside this type of venue. As mentioned, the ways you can utilise passive DJ speakers are numerous, hence their versatility during public usage.

A few amps nowadays have the basic 3 frequency bands connected to dials built into the front surface, allowing users to alter their sounds bass, middle and treble levels respectively. While not as involved as a fully-fledged mixer-amplifier, this is another reason why professionals prefer to use a passive system/power amplifier combination. Granting themselves full control of both the music selected and how well it will be heard by an audience.

Any DJ can customise, upgrade and improve their existing speakers by doing a little bit of DIY with a few new speaker components. Either repairing or replacing old components or beginning a full sound speaker home build, a passive system does not have inner amplifiers and other enclosed systems that could be knocked about during DIY. This makes these speakers modular and it is this freedom that sets it apart from the convenience of an active system.
