4 Key Technologies Found in the Best Active Speakers

Not sure which best active speaker to choose? Here are some of the best technologies that active speakers offer.

Magnetic coating technology

One of the best active speaker technologies you can find today is magnetic coating. A magnetic layer is applied to the surface of the speaker, where it acts as an electromagnetic barrier so the interference is reduced. An active speaker without this layer can cause rainbow-like waves when it is placed near a television.

Bluetooth technology

The second technology found in active speakers is Bluetooth. It lets an active speaker work without cables. Active speakers are already very popular because they need fewer and fewer cables, since the power cable is built into the speaker. Add Bluetooth, and an active speaker becomes one of the best you can have in your home.

USB input technology

Besides taking input over Bluetooth, an active speaker with this technology can also take input from other devices, such as a USB drive. That way you no longer need to connect a PC or phone, or even use a CD, when you want to play music through the speaker again.

Extended Bass Radiator technology

The last of the best active speaker technologies is EBR, or Extended Bass Radiator. This technology helps an active speaker produce steadier bass. The sound output becomes more detailed and spreads wider, so you don't have to turn the volume up very high just to fill the whole room. Active speakers with this technology are also among the best you can use at home or for stage needs.
