Genuine active stage monitor speakers – from FBT, Turbosound, and Behringer, ranging from 250 W to 2,500 W, featuring built-in DSP, ULTRANET, and effective feedback suppression.
Active Stage Monitor Speakers – Refined Standards for Professional Stages
In a stage sound system, the singer’s voice and music blend perfectly when the performer can hear themselves – and active stage monitor speakers are the key devices to make this happen. Active monitors feature built-in amplifiers, delivering direct and precise sound feedback without the need for external equipment.
Definition
This type of speaker is a powered stage monitor, integrated with amplification and DSP. Placed at the artist’s feet or side, it directs sound directly to their ears, helping them monitor tone and adjust performance in real time.
Key Advantages
- Built-in amplifier & DSP: Provides comprehensive and accurate performance thanks to advanced audio processing technologies like Klark Teknik (Turbosound) and feedback suppression filters (FBT, Behringer).
- Powerful output: From 250 W to 2,500 W, meeting the needs of small stages to large festivals.
- ULTRANET network connection: Allows multiple signals to be sent to monitors for highly personalized sound adjustments.
- Various sizes: 10", 12", 15" – suitable for different roles (singers, instruments, mix engineers).
Drawbacks
- Larger size & weight: Compared to passive speakers – requires more effort to move and set up.
- Higher cost: Due to integrated high-quality amplification and DSP.
- Requires professional setup: To ensure optimal volume, placement angle, and feedback prevention.
Practical Applications
- Livestreams & music stages: Allows singers and bands to clearly hear themselves, synced with the FOH system.
- Professional conferences and events: Presenters can monitor their voice without relying on FOH microphones.
- Touring: Excellent for live events – quick setup with consistent quality.
- Production spaces & mobile studios: Useful for on-site monitoring, mixing, and recording.
