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.

An active DJ sub assists other PA speakers in the live network, enhancing the final sound output during a live show. Creative manipulation of the bass track and having it sit well within the mix is one of the keys to achieving professional-sounding master audio, DJ powered subwoofer speakers help artists to do exactly that. This technique creates a great sense of depth in the music and is a tried and tested method of impressing audiences show after show.

Each of the active DJ subs featured is constructed within a robust cabinet with a defensive grille made of metal affixed to the front edge for extra protection without impairing the sound. Working DJs love to play high-energy, rhythmic music that demands a tasteful balance of treble, middle and bass. Activating DJ powered subwoofer speakers helps to refine and focus these signals much more accurately with the assistance of a mixer.

DJ Powered Subwoofer Speakers

Active DJ sub speakers tend to be quite large in size, as a result, they can be quite awkward to carry by hand, seek the assistance of another when carrying across large distances. All active subs can be placed on the floor or even rigged up high in the trussing of a staged area/arena provided there is a power outlet nearby. Contact the customer services department for some more advice on active DJ subwoofer-based usage.

Some refer to an active sub as a bass bin, this phrase is used commonly in the UK, and audio specialists will generally be aware of what is meant by this. Consider using a mixer during the use of a subwoofer, as mentioned this will help DJs separate signals for a more professional-grade master sound. Too much bass input can cause speakers to distort, consider dropping the bass levels to avoid overloading the signal.

There is such a thing as too much low-end much to the bemusement of many DJs, bass while important, should be balanced and mixed with taste instead of being the track's sole focal point. Overuse of bass is a very real thing, pro DJs maintain the levels of every aspect of their music throughout the show, taking into consideration the listening enjoyment the audience will experience. Bottom frequencies travel great distances from the speaker, making them perfect for outdoor events and other open-air shows.
