Active vs Passive Loudspeaker Design

When a passive loudspeaker is driven the electrical interaction of the drivers and the non-linearity in the crossover circuitry can cause undesired electrical changes in the loudspeaker performance. The active design approach includes the combined effect of the crossover filter response, power amplifier responses and driver responses in a loudspeaker enclosure.
