Professional Speakers and Subwoofers VOID Acoustics

Professional speakers are the heart of any sound system, whether it's a band in a bar, a DJ at a wedding, a church, a school, a conference room, or a fixed installation. Here you will find active and passive speakers, subwoofers, column systems, and line arrays, plus everything related to installation: stands, covers, and cables.

Active or passive? Active speakers have a built-in amplifier: you connect them to a mixer or a laptop and play, without power calculations and without an amplifier rack. They are the natural choice for bands, DJs, and mobile events. Passive speakers require a separate amplifier, but allow for larger, easily expandable and maintainable systems, which is why they remain preferred in fixed installations and by sound companies.

What size speaker? A 10" active speaker (the Studiomaster Vortex 10A is among the best-selling models in the category) covers a venue or party of 50–100 people. The 12"–15" models (Presonus AIR 10 and AIR XD 15, Yamaha DBR 12, LD Systems ICOA 12A BT) handle larger rooms and bands with drums. For concerts and outdoor events, systems with a separate subwoofer or line array, such as the FBT HIMaxX 60, the best-selling system by value in the last two years, provide the necessary pressure and coverage.

Subwoofers. An active subwoofer of 15"–18" takes care of the low frequencies and allows the satellites to play clean and louder. It is essential for DJs, electronic music, and events with over 150 people.

Price range: entry-level active speakers are inexpensive, 10"–12" models for bands and DJs are mid-range, while professional systems from FBT, RCF, Electro-Voice, and HK Audio are in the higher category. The most sought-after brands in the store are Studiomaster, LD Systems, Wharfedale Pro, Presonus, HK Audio, FBT, and Electro-Voice.
