I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ...
audiorusty - In the past, I purchase a microphone off Amazon and downloaded Room Perfect. I found the whole thing a little overwhelming. I gave up and returned the mic. I need the DSP for Dummies edition! Darko seems to like the Buchardts A500 bookshelf's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tctB_Dfmv4s |

People fixating on whether the amp is internal or external are emphasizing the wrong thing. I'm sure there are a lot of cheap active speakers that aren't very reliable but that's because they're a cheaply made throwaway items. You can get active speakers with external amplifiers. If you want ATCs with external amps you can order them that way. They just stick the amp in a separate box, no big deal. Both ways are compromised with different strengths and weaknesses. There are great examples of both and terrible examples of both and personal preference obviously comes into play. The stuff people get hung up on. When I hear people say that dsp can take room problems out of the equation I have to say something. It can certainly help, but a really reverberant room isn't going to be solved by dsp. An empty plaster room with wood floors in a brick house is going to have problems and dsp can't solve them. It can ameliorate them to some degree but there's no way speakers can stop the echo. |
