In an passive speaker the amplifier is outside the loudspeaker cabinet and can be at quite a distance.

With PSI Aduio active speakers you have many advantages:

• Each driver has its own amplifier, designed and built
• A 3 way system has 3 amplifiers each perfectly adapted to each driver
• The amplifier is as close as possible to the driver, minimising distortion
• The AOI circuitry is a real-time feedback system that can only work if amplifier and driver are designed together.

A good metaphor is that an active system is like a high-performance car the engine is designed and built to work perfectly all other parts of the car.
