The system is 3-way passive. The crossover is rather simple. Although the positive and negative outputs are spring loaded for bare wire, they accept dual banana plugs as well. Each speaker handles about 120 watts RMS.

These are passive. I have owned a pair for 11 yrs. They are used outside under the eve of my game room and provide plenty of great sound by the pool. I like them so much I purchased a second pair for use inside.

An active speaker system means that the power to run the speakers is built into the speakers. You don't need a separate amplifier. And by the way, the M-audio speakers are a great choice. Everyone that hears mine comments about how great they sound.

Hi,this is passive PA Speaker. To use them need an amplifier or receiver. Recommended amplifier power 70W

Active. You do NOT need an amplifier. The amplifier is built into the speakers and each speaker needs power and each comes with its own power cord I love the clean sound and works well for near field monitoring. I am NOT a professional in music.

These are passive speakers and require an amplifier with speaker wire from the amp to the speakers.

No, it's passive. Take your left and right speaker wires from receiver to the sub, then go from the sub to your left and right speakers. Hope that helps!

yes - One end has a larger speaker that acts as a woofer to produce deep lows - I am not sure if it is a passive woofer but it sounds good - I feel that this sounds better than most small speaker set ups plus It is louder than you would expect for such a small system.

Wow, so many wrong answers!! These are passive speakers. They don't plug into a wall receptacle; they must be powered by an amp.

Two speakers and one passive subwoofer. So technically three speakers two that are powered and one that isn't.

These are passive speakers that require some sort of direct connection. They are not Bluetooth or Sonos type speakers. That said, I LOVE them.

Powered speakers, also known as self-powered speakers and active speakers, are loudspeakers that have built-in amplifiers. They can be connected directly to a mixing console or other low-level audio signal source without the need for an external amplifier.

Thanks for the response. I can't find the same speakers from anyone and the one set I found were $105/pair used! I may end up with these from what I can tell. These are bookshelf speakers for use here in my basement.

I'm using these speakers outside of my barn. I'm driving them with a simple 2 channel stereo tuner/amplifier from Sony that I purchased at WalMart. They are on the B output. The A output drives 2 JBL 4312 Control Monitors inside the workshop / art studio part of the barn

Here is an excellent article to help identify what you have and outline what you need: http://turntablelab.com/pages/beginners-guide-to-turntables (What you're asking is covered in the section "2.1 Simplified Turntable Setup with Active Speakers")

The 1C speakers are passive so they need power to operate. Customer needs to purchase an amplifier.Behringer NU1000DSP iNuke Power Amplifier
