An active speaker has a built-in amplifier, so you don't need a separate amplifier station — you can connect a mixer, guitar, microphone, or, in many models, your phone via Bluetooth directly. They are the right choice for mobile sound reinforcement, small to medium events, bands, and DJs who want a system that is easy to transport and set up. When choosing, the diameter of the bass speaker (10", 12", or 15" — the larger it is, the more volume and bass) and the RMS power matter. For parties and outdoor events, a separate active subwoofer (see active subwoofers) complements a pair of active speakers with additional bass.
If you only need a compact, battery-powered speaker for personal use — not for sound reinforcement — check out the dedicated range of portable Bluetooth speakers.
