Passive in this meaning related to a speaker means that you need to have an amplifier or receiver connected as your sound source. It's like the original type stereos of the past. Nowadays they offer powered speakers that have built in amps inside the speakers themselves also on the market. So if you have a conventional system the "passive" speakers are what you would use. Example: Many sub-woofers are NON passive or called powered subs because they have their own amp/power source built inside.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The passive speakers are unit that does not have an inbuilt amplifier.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is more of a remark and question at the same time. Did they change the meaning of the term or description of the meaning of the word passive resonator?, because it use to be a basically fake speaker that aloud the bass response to be way more noticeable than without it my 1977 ESS speakers had a 8" woffer with a 10" passive resonator or radiator can't remember? Hey you have a heart attack two weeks ago and see if you can remmember every little detail! Lol.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Danielsaun1957 asked about the "passive resonator" on his "1977 ESS speakers". The usual term is "passive radiator" - which is a woofer with suspension but no motor - thus passive. It's used to replace a port or "vent". The R-820F and 99% (maybe 100%) of Klipsch speakers use a port.
