Meaning it has its own outlet than can be connected to electricity!Also you can use it as a bridge for another Speaker.I bought two and have been using them for nearly a year now but they're just awesome...

It means that the speaker has a built in amplifier. So instead of buying a normal speaker and then having to buy an amplifier on top of that. This is an all in one package where all you have to do is plug it in and give it a signal.

Powered speakers, also known as self-powered speakers and active speakers, are loudspeakers that have built-in amplifiers. They can be connected directly to a mixing console or other low-level audio signal source without the need for an external amplifier.

Hi, I had first bought one of these that needed powered speakers, then I traded it in for this one I think. And yes that is exclusively what this is used for. We use it for our restaurant, to play spottily, and to play the iPod. It works great! I hope this helped.

Lol. Both actually. Built in speaker. But also a jack to use your own speakers.

You can use it directly into a self-powered speaker. Other than that you will need a sound board, amp, then speakers

Powered means you don't need an amplifier. Sound systems work by taking a source, say the sound from your computer, then amplifying it, and playing it. Many times, the amplifiers are separate from the speakers, in which case those speakers aren't powered. This speaker is powered, meaning the amplifier is inside the speaker. This allows the the speaker to be much more portable, while sacrificing some power (not much, though) All you have to do to get this speaker to work is plug a source directly into the speaker, plug the speaker into a power source, and hit play.

Thanks for contacting KPODJ, The ZLX12P is a powered speaker, the ZLX12 is a non powered speaker.

An active speaker system means that the power to run the speakers is built into the speakers. You don't need a separate amplifier. And by the way, the M-audio speakers are a great choice. Everyone that hears mine comments about how great they sound.

the speakers are powered by plugging the USB cable into your computer. I turn my computer off at night, so they turn off as well. If you leave your computer on 24/7, You would have to unplug them when not in use.

Active speaker system means that the speakers provide their own amplification built in... In other words, you don't have to buy an amplifier because they amplify themselves.It means you can plug a low power signal into them, like from an iPod or from an audio interface or your computer for that matter.But not really from your stereo system's amplifier... unless you use the headphone jack or line out with a special stereo to mono splitter plug or something.

Hi Jason, I wondered that that myself. You will connect the box directly to the main speaker connections on your amp. Then you will wire your speakers to the box. I connected my main speakers as A speakers, then I connected my outside speakers to the B connections on the box. It is self powering and works great! I had another box from Radio Shack before this one. The sound quality doubled, specially to my outside speaker with the monster box. Very simple to set up and use.

No. The speaker gets its power from the USB port on your computer or player. (It also gets the sound from that port.)

If the soundboard has phantom power you are all set. If not you need a power source.

They are powered solely by the USB port, no battery. They are GREAT speakers. I use them in seminars and, unless I need to reach the back of a large hotel ballroom, they do the job for most groups of 50-100 people. And they fit right in a pocket of my laptop case.
