An aerial amplifier and an active aerial are not the same, though they are related. An aerial amplifier is a device that boosts the signal received by an antenna, while an active aerial is an antenna that has a built-in amplifier to enhance the signal. Essentially, an active aerial includes an amplifier, but not all aerial amplifiers are part of an active aerial.

If you have a sub woofer do you need an amplifier?

There are two types of subwoofers. 1. Active subwoofers 2. Passive subwoofers An active subwoofer will have a built-in amplifier. A passive subwoofer doesn't have a built-in amplifier which will require the use of an amplifier, the use of a power source.


Will an unpowered subwoofer work when plugged into an amplifier?

A passive sub-woofer does work when plugged in to an amplifier. In an active sub-woofer ("powered") the amplifier is built in.


Is an Aeriel on the roof a standard or an active antenna?

An active antenna is powered antenna, this includes a RF amplifier and a power supply so it must be "plugged in" somewhere. A standard "passive" antenna has no amplifier.

Can you connect a normal bass speaker to a system that has an active sub out put?

An output for an active sub-bass unit is a line level signal, typically around a volt or so. It won't drive a speaker directly so an active sub incorporates and amplifier to drive the loudspeaker. The way to use a passive bass speaker is to take the sub output into another amplifier and use one channel of the amplifier to drive the passive speaker. It's an easy solution if there happens to be a spare amplifier at hand. If it will involve the purchase of a new amplifier, it may prove more cost effective to buy an active sub-bass unit instead. However, passive bass drivers tend to be used in higher quality systems so it might offer a great quality sound with a good amplifier.
