What is the actual difference between an active and a passive loudspeaker? We are willing to bet you will get it wrong. The widespread belief that the difference lives in built-in amplification is simply not correct. Built-in amplification is a consequence, not a cause, and there are active systems on the market that use external amplifier packs. The real difference sits in the crossover: specifically, whether it does its work before amplification or after it.
