2. • Has an amp built in
• Needs a power source
Heavier than a passive but
you would use this if you
were travelling because its
less things to carry and it
looks neater because it
doesn’t need to have a
separate amp.

3. • Doesn’t have an amp
built in
• Needs an external amp
Lighter than an active
speaker. You would use this
speaker if you were doing a
bigger gig because you can
control it from the amp so
you can put the speaker in
a rig.

controlled by the gain. If
you turn the gain and the
lights go to red, then the
gain is too high and needs
to be turned down so the
light is either orange or
green.

fader. This controls
all the other faders
on the desk and
should be put on 0.
This is the gain.

how much
sound is sent to
the desk from
the sound
source.
This is the EQ.
these control the
high, the mid

This is the pan. It is used to send sound left or right using stereo
inputs. If it is panned to the left, the sound will go to the left
speaker and if it is panned all the way to the right, the sound will
go to the right speaker. If it is in the centre, the sound will go to
both speakers.
This is the fader. This controls the volume . The
higher the fader is, the louder the volume will
be.
