Active Subwoofers for Active Sound Professionals

Here you will find our selection of active subwoofers, designed for both mobile musicians, DJs, sound engineers, and fixed installations like stages, discos, and bars. An active subwoofer is a bass speaker with a built-in amplifier and power supply, making it easy to integrate into a modern PA system.

Active subwoofers are popular because they are quick to set up and require less external equipment. You don't need a separate power amplifier, as the amplifier is already built-in and optimized for the speaker. This often means more efficient power utilization and better control over the low frequencies.

Most active subwoofers are used together with PA tops or active PA speakers, where the subwoofer reproduces the deepest frequencies, while the tops handle midrange and treble. This combination provides a fuller and more powerful soundscape, especially for live music, DJ setups, and events.

How to Connect an Active Subwoofer?

One of the advantages of active subwoofers is that they are easy to connect. Most models have a built-in crossover, which automatically distributes frequencies between the subwoofer and the connected speakers.

The connection typically involves an XLR cable from your audio source, mixer, or mixing console, which is fed into the subwoofer's XLR input. The signal can then be sent from the subwoofer's XLR output to your PA tops or other speakers.

In this way, the subwoofer functions as a central component in your PA system, handling the low frequencies and passing the rest of the signal to the rest of the setup.
