Active DJ Subwoofers

An active DJ subwoofer is designed with both the loudspeaker and a powerful amplifier built inside. This inner-amp allows power to be drawn from a mains outlet, as is the case with almost all active speakers. DJ powered subwoofers help to create a balance between bass, middle and treble frequencies by sharing the sonic workload of most rhythmic music.
