Yes, there are many types and models of amplifiers. Some have built in LINE OUT options and others require work. Active speakers are just speakers with their own built in amplifiers that supply power only to their own speakers or additional Sub Woofer.

With some Guitar AMPS it is necessary to daisy chain (Think Jimmy Hendrix) the input jacks from one amplifier and bridge the guitar signal from one channel to the input of the second amplifier via a jumper cable. Phase (Timing of the speakers) becomes a challenge or in Hendrix case an asset, but it works.

When you have only one channel jack and no Line Out options you can simply MIC the speakers of the first Amp and play the sound through a second (PA) amp.

Can anyone suggest how can you choose amplifier and speakers?

you need to choose speakers according to the power supply of amplifier, so that the amplifier can wrok. Besides, to create good sound effect, you need to take your room area into consideration, if the room is small, amplifier and speakers with high power is not necessary. You can visit website of Unify company, they have many packages for amplifier and speakers, hope it can help somehow.


Can you run 4 70w speakers on a 150w amp or will it blow?

It's entirely possible to use four 70W speakers with a 150W amplifier but the method will depend on the speakers and the amplifier specification. We will assume that the amplifier will deliver up to 150W per channel, so two speakers will be used on each channel. If the amplifier is rated to drive a 4 ohm load, then two 8 ohm speakers can be wired in parallel and connected. In this instance, take care NOT to drive the amplifier too hard. It will overdrive the speakers at about the same time that it will begin to show a distorted output. This is a condition that can easily damage speakers so be very conservative with the volume control. If the speakers are 4 ohm speakers, they can be wired in series to provide a total impedance of 8 ohms. If the amplifier is rated to deliver 150W into 4 ohms, then the total power to the speakers will be lower than to a single speaker. The benefit is that no speaker can be over-driven and there is a good amount of headroom for safety.


Is amplifier an active element?

A: Absolutely


Which type of speakers are matching onkyo tx-sr313 amplifier?

The Onkyo TX-SR313 amplifier is compatible with a variety of speakers, but it is best matched with 6 to 8-ohm speakers for optimal performance. It's designed to handle both bookshelf and floor-standing speakers, making it versatile for different home theater setups. For balanced audio quality, consider pairing it with speakers that have a sensitivity rating of 85 dB or higher. Always ensure that the power handling of the speakers aligns with the amplifier's output to prevent damage.


What is the difference between an amplifier and a speaker?

The subwoofer is the actual speaker making the loud bass. The amplifier is what powers the subwoofer and makes it work how it does. It only uses the low frequencies from the audio source and amplifies it.

What are the big speakers at a concert called?

They are called "PA" speakers. PA meaning "Public Address" is a large loudspeaker design to deliver sound to a large group of audience. You'll often see these large speakers at clubs, concerts, and cinemas. There are two types of PA speakers. "Passive" and "Active" speakers. The passive speakers doesn't have a built-in amplifier. These speakers will require the use of a power source called an "Amplifier" to power these speakers. The active speakers have a built-in amplifier and doesn't require the use of an amplifier.


Do 15 watt speakers go well with a Kenwood four channel amplifier?

No, 15 watt speakers are rated far to low to be used with an external amplifier.

How do you select speakers with respect to the impedance of the amplifier?

Amplifiers are rated to operate within a range of impedances. Typically, a domestic amplifier will drive a minimum impedance of 8 Ohms or 4 Ohms. Using speakers that have an impedance lower than the amplifier rating is likely to increase distortion and can damage the outputs of the amplifier if the levels are too high. Using speakers that are significantly higher than the minimum rating will not cause damage to either the amplifier or speakers but it will reduce the power that is delivered to the speakers. In most domestic systems, this limitation of the power output is not likely to be an issue. Any amplifier rated to drive into 4 Ohms will work well with speakers of between 4 and 8 Ohms. An amplifier with an 8 Ohm rating should be used only with speakers of 8 Ohms or higher.

What considerations should be made when connecting 16 ohm speakers to an 8 ohm amplifier?

When connecting 16 ohm speakers to an 8 ohm amplifier, it is important to consider the impedance mismatch. This can affect the performance of both the speakers and the amplifier. It is recommended to use speakers with an impedance that matches or is close to the amplifier's impedance to avoid potential damage or distortion.


Can you run speakers with an amplifier that has a bigger rms rating than the speakers rms rating For example run an 80 watt rms speakers with a 120 watt rms amplifier?

Yes you can. Contrary to popular belief, an amplifier rated with a higher output than the speaker rating rarely damage the speakers. If the amplifier overdrives the speakers, the sound quality will be dramatically affected. Most listeners will turn the level down to reduce the distortion being heard. The amplifier's power rating is the maximum power that it can produce and it does not mean the output power will be at that level. On the other hand, an amplifier that is overloaded will deliver distorted signals to the speakers. At high power levels, the distortion can be damaging to the speakers in a way that simply over driving a speaker is not. Therefore, it is as safe to use an overpowered amplifier with speakers as it is an amplifier that is rated at the same power or even lower power than the speakers.


How can I connect a microphone to speakers?

To connect a microphone to speakers, you will need an audio mixer or amplifier. Plug the microphone into the mixer or amplifier using an XLR cable. Then connect the mixer or amplifier to the speakers using audio cables. Adjust the volume levels on the mixer or amplifier to ensure proper sound output.

Is an aerial amplifier the same as an active aerial?

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.
