When you pair powered speakers together, you have an advantage over using a single speaker since you can run them in stereo. This means that one speaker will be playing all of the left signals and sounds in a mix, while the other speaker will be playing all of the right signals. This can make any event much more immersive for the audience, as the music will have a strong sense of dimension.

Another reason that a pair of active speakers have an advantage over a single unit is that you will be able to achieve higher volume levels, while still keeping the sound quality as good as possible.

If you have one active speaker, you can still reach a respectable volume level, however, the speaker will be working at its maximum capacity which results in a loss of audio quality. By pairing active speakers together, you can get the same volume as a single speaker but also higher, therefore the speakers will not be working at their maximum volume level while still retaining a rich and crisp sound quality.

With our active PA speaker pairs, you also have the reliability of easy transport due to the speakers having inbuilt amplifiers. We can all understand the frustration that comes with having a multitude of equipment to take to an event. By using a pair of active speakers, there is not much more that you need to get your event set up, so this makes it as hassle-free as it needs to be.

What are pairs of active speakers?

Pair active speakers, which are also known as active powered speakers, are a type of speaker system that includes two individual speakers, each of which contains its own built-in amplifier. This is different from traditional passive speaker systems, which require an external amplifier to power the speakers.

Active speaker pairs are also known as powered speakers or self-amplified speakers, and they are commonly used in professional audio setups, and live performance environments. Pairing active powered speakers allows for stereo sound reproduction, where each speaker produces a separate channel of sound, creating a more immersive listening experience.

Pair powered speakers are a popular choice for music enthusiasts and professionals because they offer a compact and convenient solution for high-quality audio reproduction. They are also easier to set up and operate compared to passive speakers, which require more components and wiring.

How do active speaker pairs work?

Pairs of active speakers work by using a built-in amplifier to power the speakers and produce audio. The amplifier is built directly into each speaker, allowing it to receive an audio signal and amplify it before sending it to the speaker driver. This means that each speaker in the pair can function independently and receive its own audio signal, creating stereo sound.

To use paired active speakers, an audio source is connected to the speakers via a cable. This could be a simple 3.5mm jack for connecting to a laptop or mobile device, or a more complex mixer for use in a professional audio setup. The audio signal is then sent to the built-in amplifier of each speaker, where it is amplified and sent to the speaker drivers.

Pair active speakers often feature a range of controls for adjusting the sound, such as volume, bass, and treble. These controls are usually located on the back or side of the speaker and can be adjusted to suit individual preferences.

One of the main advantages of pair active speakers is their ease of use and setup. Since the amplifier is built into the speaker, users do not need to worry about purchasing and connecting an external amplifier. This makes them a great option for those who want a simpler, more streamlined setup. Additionally, the use of active amplification can improve the overall sound quality, as the signal does not have to travel through long lengths of cable, which can result in signal degradation and loss of sound quality.

What are the pros of active speakers?

Active speaker pairs offer several advantages over other types of speaker systems. Firstly, they have a built-in amplifier that is specifically designed to work with the speakers, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. This eliminates the need for a separate amplifier, saving you money and space. Secondly, they are typically easier to set up than passive speakers, which require external amplification and speaker cables. With active speakers, all you need to do is connect the power cable and audio source, and you're ready to go.

Additionally, active powered speakers are designed to work together as a complete system, resulting in better sound quality and more accurate reproduction of audio. This is because the amplifier and speakers are optimised to work together. Additionally, since active speakers have built-in amplification, you can place them anywhere you want without worrying about running speaker cables back to an amplifier. This makes it easier to improve speaker placement for the best sound quality in your venue.

Lastly, many pair powered speakers come with a built-in EQ and other features that allow you to adjust the sound to your preferences. This gives you more control over the sound quality and makes it easier to fine-tune the speakers to your specific listening environment. Overall, active speakers are a great choice for anyone looking for an easy-to-use, high-quality speaker system.

Types of active speaker pairs

Active speakers come in different types, each with its unique features and applications. One type is karaoke active speakers. Whereas a normal pair of active speakers are designed to reproduce sound accurately and evenly across the frequency spectrum, a karaoke active speaker pair is specifically designed to enhance the vocal performance. Karaoke active speakers typically have built-in vocal effects that can be adjusted to create a more immersive karaoke experience.

Another type of active speaker is a PA party speaker pair. PA party speaker pairs are designed specifically for use at parties and events, and they offer a range of advantages over other types of speakers. One of the main advantages is that they are designed to produce high volume and power, making them ideal for large events or outdoor parties.

One more advantage of PA party speaker pairs is their versatility. They are often designed to work with a wide range of audio sources, including Bluetooth devices, USB drives, SD cards, and traditional audio cables. This makes them very flexible and easy to use in a variety of settings, which is particularly useful for DJs or anyone who needs to switch between different audio sources during an event.

Bluetooth active PA speakers are another type of active speaker pair. Bluetooth active speaker pairs offer several advantages over traditional wired speakers, making them a popular choice for many people. One of the main advantages is that they are very easy to use. Since they are wireless, they can be connected to a wide range of devices without the need for cables or wires. This makes them very convenient, particularly for people who frequently move their audio equipment around or who want to play music from their mobile devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are active speakers’ function?

Active speakers, also known as powered speakers, are speakers that have built-in amplifiers. This means that they do not require an external amplifier or receiver to operate.

Active speakers are designed to take an audio signal and amplify it to produce sound. They have built-in amplification and require a connection to mains power in order to work. The amplifier in an active speaker is specifically designed to work with the speaker driver(s), which allows for more efficient use of power and better sound quality.

How do I connect two active speakers together?

Connecting two active speakers together will depend on the type of inputs and outputs available on your specific speakers.

First, check the inputs and outputs available on your active speakers. Most active speakers have RCA inputs, 3.5mm auxiliary inputs, 6.3mm jacks and XLR connectors and/or Bluetooth connectivity. Some active speakers also have RCA outputs or 3.5mm auxiliary outputs, which can be used to connect to additional speakers.

Do active speakers have Bluetooth?

Whilst many active speakers include Bluetooth technology, not all active speakers have it. Active speakers with Bluetooth capabilities can connect wirelessly to other Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other audio sources. This makes it easy to stream music or other audio content directly to the active speakers without the need for cables or wires.

What can be connected to active speakers?

Active speakers can be connected to a wide range of audio devices, including computers, mobile devices, televisions, music players, DJ equipment, and mixing desks.

For computers, active speakers can be connected via Bluetooth, stereo RCA inputs, or a 3.5mm audio cable. When it comes to mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, active speakers can be connected via Bluetooth or a 3.5mm audio cable.

Active speakers can be connected to mixing desks for a higher level of control using 6.3mm jack or XLR cables, depending on the available connectors. Additionally, they can be used with music players such as MP3 players and CD players, and can be connected via stereo line input or 3.5mm AUX.

How do you operate an active speaker?

To operate an active speaker, you need to follow some basic steps. First, make sure that the speaker is powered on by plugging it into a power source and turning it on using the power button or switch, which is usually located on the back or front of the speaker.

Next, connect your audio source to the active speaker. The type of cable or connection required will depend on the audio source. For instance, you can use Bluetooth, or an audio cable (such as a 3.5mm, RCA, or XLR cable) to connect your device to the active speaker.

Once you have connected your audio source, adjust the volume level on the active speaker to a suitable level. Most active speakers come with volume control buttons or knobs that are easy to locate on the speaker or on a remote control.

What are passive speakers’ function?

Passive speakers are speakers that do not have a built-in amplifier. Instead, they require an external amplifier or receiver to operate.

Passive speakers are designed to receive an audio signal from an amplifier or receiver, which then powers the speaker driver(s) to produce sound. The amplifier is responsible for amplifying the audio signal to a level that is appropriate for the speaker driver(s) to operate effectively.

How many powered speakers can you have in a daisy chain?

Active speakers can be continuously connected together in a daisy chain without any loss of audio quality, since they only use audio signals rather than powered signals.

Passive speakers can also be daisy-chained, but it's important to do so correctly to avoid damaging the speakers or the amplifier.

Do active speakers need a crossover?

Yes, active speakers do need a crossover, although it is usually built into the speaker itself rather than being a separate component like in a passive speaker system.

A crossover is a device that splits the audio signal into different frequency bands and sends each band to the appropriate speaker driver. In an active speaker system, the crossover is built into the speaker and is typically implemented using digital signal processing (DSP). This allows the crossover to be more precise and customisable than a traditional analog crossover.

Can I connect active speakers to my mixer?

Yes, you can connect active speakers to your mixer. Active speakers have built-in amplifiers, which means they can be directly connected to your mixer without the need for an external amplifier.

To connect your active speakers to your mixer, you will need a set of cables. The type of cable you need will depend on the type of connectors on your mixer and your speakers.

Can you have a speaker system with active and passive speakers?

It is possible to have a speaker system with both active and passive speakers. However, it's important to understand how active and passive speakers work together and how to set them up correctly to avoid any potential issues.

In a speaker system with both active and passive speakers, the active speakers typically serve as the primary speakers, while the passive speakers serve as secondary speakers or as subwoofers. The active speakers can be connected directly to a mixer or audio source without the need for an external amplifier, while the passive speakers require an external amplifier to drive them.


Ranging from 8" to dual 15" speaker cones, our powered DJ speaker pairs are great for a variety of venues. For deeper and stronger bass output needed for larger venues like clubs, 15" speakers will be the best option. The smaller options like an 8" or 10" speaker provide a lower bass output, but will generally reproduce higher frequencies better in a mix, such as vocals and keys.

By utilising a pair of active speakers you can achieve stereo audio. For a DJ this is ideal, as when mixing your tracks, there will be sounds in the music that will be on the left and other others on the right side of a mix. Pairing active speakers together for stereo audio means that these sounds will have a three-dimensional element, providing greater immersion for your audience.

Passive speakers are the more classic approach to live audio, but active speakers are becoming more common due to how simple they are to use. Having all the controls built into the cabinet of the speakers keeps everything central and means less equipment in your setup.

All of the active speakers that we have to offer will feature EQ control and line inputs and outputs. The EQ control gives you customisation on how you want the speakers to sound. For example, if you are finding vocals in your music a little bit too harsh, you can simply turn down the high-frequency control on the back of each speaker.
