Passive Monitors

For those who value flexibility, value and precision in their studio setup, passive monitors offer unique advantages. Unlike active pa speakers with built-in power amps, passive monitors are non-powered speakers that require an external amplifier to drive them. However, this gives you full control over your signal chain, allowing you to pair your monitors with the amplifier of your choice to achieve the exact sound you’re looking for.
Brands like Avantone, LD systems and others provide passive monitors with high-quality components, focusing solely on the acoustic performance of their speakers. This allows you to connect a premium external amplifier to build a setup without compromise. Plus, without the extra built-in electronics, these monitors are generally lighter, easier to mount and can be more cost-effective than paying for active options.
The tradeoff? Passive setups take a bit more planning. You’ll need a compatible amp and quality cables to get the best performance. But the payoff is worth it for many - scalability, customization, and the ability to upgrade individual components as your studio grows.
A great choice for anyone building a professional mixing space or just refining their home studio, passive monitors give you the freedom to shape your sound, your way. Browse our selection today and craft your perfect setup.
