Active Subwoofers Bring Your PA’s Low End to Life
Meghan Trainor isn’t the only one who’s “All About That Bass.” If you want to pound out an earthshaking beat or a bass line you can feel deep down in your bones, consider investing in a powered PA subwoofer. A powered subwoofer fills in the low frequencies to flesh out the bottom end of your sound system and extend your low-end performance. With a powered sub, your kick drums, low toms, bass guitars, and synth bass sounds won’t get lost in the mix — especially in a live performance setting.
Ready to discover the true potential of your PA system? When it comes to big sound without the hassle, few products bring as much to the party as a powered bass speaker built for stage use.
What Makes a Powered PA Subwoofer Unique?
A powered PA subwoofer, also called an active PA subwoofer, is self-contained. In other words, it has a speaker and amplifier configuration, as well as crossovers and other signal processors, already built into its cabinet. Unlike unpowered subwoofers, which require an external power amplifier to work, powered PA subwoofers only need a power source to operate. Simply plug your line-level sound into your PA subwoofer system, and you’re ready to go!
Benefits of Adding an Active Subwoofer to Your PA System
To assemble the perfect PA system, a quality powered subwoofer is an essential piece of the puzzle. In addition to providing your system with thumping bass, a powered PA subwoofer can help reduce stress on your main speakers, helping your system operate cleaner and with greater headroom — a big plus for portable live sound gear. It can also help you achieve better sound, as powered subwoofer manufacturers precisely match the power amplifiers to the speakers for optimal performance.
What Else Can a Powered Subwoofer Do for Your Setup?
Many active PA subwoofers on the market include a suite of useful onboard controls and processing, such as crossover settings, EQ, polarity, limiters, and delay compensation. A great option for gigging bands, DJs, and venue owners, powered subwoofers bring the bottom end of your sound to life. These added features make them an ideal choice for live performance setups.
