I was looking to buy some portable speakers for my DJ business and someone told me to make sure I got power speakers. What is a power speaker, compared to regular ones?
a powered speaker is a speaker with the amp built in a non powered speaker you must have an amp to power them. personally i use non powered speakers and carry my amps with me better sound If you want a great system check out B52 look for there web site the have a great line sound great i use this system witch comes with a powered sub and two satilite speakers and it rocks trust me looks small sounds huge love it for bars and indoor gigs i use my non powered for outside and big gigs
Powered speakers have built in amplifiers. If you already have an amp, go for passive speakers.
Powered speakers have built-in amplifiers to make their input signal louder. Use them with devices that would normally need an amplifier. Do NOT try to use them with the output from an amplifier!
