Bookshelf Speakers in All Home Speakers

What is a three-way bookshelf speaker?

A three-way bookshelf speaker is a compact speaker that’s small enough to sit on a bookshelf and has three separate speaker types within its housing. These generally will include one woofer for bass and two different-sized tweeters for mid-range and high-range frequencies. However, it can be any combination of three speaker types within the housing to be a three-way speaker. This gives the listener a full range of audio frequencies without having to invest in multiple speakers.

What are passive speakers?

Passive speakers have no internal amplifier, so they require an external amplifier for them to play audio. While this requires additional investment, it allows the user to fine-tune their audio system to meet their specific needs.

What are powered or active speakers?

Powered or active speakers have an internal amplifier and power supply, so all they need is an audio signal to deliver great sound. The manufacturer pairs these speakers with an amplifier tuned specifically for them so you’re certain to get the best possible sound with minimal effort.
