Reply To: passive v active speakers for gigging band

[Dick Rees]

Not pedantic, just correct. A lot of people follow and read these postings, so by couching your question in improper or ill-used terms does not help them, especially when you’re (mis-) using such terms.

Additionally, it would be germain to speaker choice discussions to consider pattern/pattern control:frequency, multi-functionality such as doubling as monitors (wedge angle), possible use with sub, internal crossover (powered) and more.

Simply throwing out a single (spurious) spec does not serve anyone well…unless the various pedants point out the fallacy of the OP and offer up the proper parameters for making such choices. But if it’s just a pub band and none of the proper info matters, then the actual choice doesn’t matter either.
