Active Speakers for TV, Wireless Streaming, and Turntables

If you're looking to step up your audio game, you need a pair of active speakers. These bad boys are the future of audio, packing everything you need for high-quality sound into one sleek package. Active Speakers represent the next generation of speaker design – they've got their own custom amps built right in! This means you can stream music directly from your phone or plug them into your TV, laptop, or turntable, and boom – you're set for an instant audio upgrade, hassle-free. No extra equipment needed! Our active speakers in particular punch way above their weight class, thanks to some cool engineering wizardry and advanced DSP. Basically, our engineers have matched the amplifier perfectly to the other parts of the speaker, ensuring you a quality product that’s even better than the sum of its parts.

What are active speakers?

Active speakers are equipped with built-in amplifiers, which eliminate the need for an external amplifier or receiver to drive the sound. Unlike passive speakers, they only require a power source and can connect directly to your audio sources, such as your TV, computer, or turntable.

Our active speakers support various input sources, including HDMI ARC for TV audio, Bluetooth, phono input for turntables, and both analog and digital input. In other words. You can finally throw away that cheap plastic soundbar underneath your TV and get some real stereo sound, without compromising on ease-of-use!

Our active speakers even automatically switch inputs between the sources you have connected, so in day-to-day use, you rarely need to grab the included remote control. Simply connect your favorite sources, sit back, and enjoy the fantastic sound quality.

The amplifier

Let’s dive a little deeper into the amplifier in the active speakers – the following may contain some technical jargon, but don't worry, we’ll try to keep it as straightforward as possible.

The amplifier in Argon Audio's active speakers features high-performance digital sound processing (DSP) with an active crossover, which allows the mid/bass woofers and tweeters to have their own dedicated amplifiers. This is what we would call a "true" active speaker - some competitors still use an old-fashioned passive crossover, which is not always the best solution for sound quality. Our custom-engineered bass drivers deliver class-leading performance with ultra-low distortion in the critical midrange.

We have taken great care in selecting each component, from the amplifier and cabinet to the drivers and even the speaker cable, to ensure a perfect match and deliver the best possible listening experience.

This is why we, at Argon Audio, firmly believe that the future for speakers is active.

Advantages of active speakers

Are you still following or feeling overwhelmed? Let’s simplify things with a list of the benefits!

Ease of use

One of the biggest benefits of active speakers is their ease of use. Because they come equipped with built-in amplifiers, you don't need to worry about setting up an external amplifier, a receiver, and endless miles of cables. Simply connect your audio source, and you're good to go.

Improved sound quality

The components of our active speakers have been custom designed with all the parts matched closely, and as a result, you might even get better sound quality than normal passive speakers with an external amplifier. Active speakers are designed to function as a matched pair, resulting in true stereo sound, unlike soundbars which often lack the power and richness of sound produced by a stereo speaker setup.

Space-saving design

Because active speakers don't require an external amplifier or receiver, they can help you save space in your home or studio. However, you can still find larger active speakers, also add a subwoofer and a turntable, and impress your friends with a bigger system – trust me, you won’t regret it!

Affordability

Active speakers can be an affordable option compared to traditional speaker systems and amplifiers, especially if you're looking for a smaller setup. A pair of active speakers might not be as affordable as some soundbars – but you at least get much more great sound for your money than with a soundbar.

True Active Speakers

One often overlooked aspect of high-quality active speakers is that 1+1 doesn’t equal 2—it equals 4. This means that a conventional passive speaker would need a 200 watt amplifier in order to achieve the same performance as an active speaker with only a 2 X 50 watt amplifier! This is one of the reasons why active speakers sound so powerful compared to passive speakers.

The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) is an important part of this puzzle. DSP is used to design the crossover and response of the speaker with a precision only possible in active speakers.

DSP in combination with active speakers gives more freedom to design optimized drivers without making any compromises. Typically, the woofers in a passive speaker have a mechanical break to avoid damage at high sound levels. Using DSP supervision, the woofer can be designed with higher linearity since the breaking is handled by the DSP. In addition to this, with DSP we can correct speaker response without deterioration - this is simply not possible in a passive speaker.
The woofers in FORTE A55 are a prime example of the benefits of transducer design, using DSP. We designed a new motor system with a focus on very low distortion - all without looking at parameters since these can be controlled using DSP. These woofers won’t work in a passive speaker design, but in an active speaker with DSP they shine with class-leading low distortion and extended frequency response.
