Balanced Sound Signature
Speakers with a Balanced sound signature presents a precise sound and an enriching listening experience, where sounds are naturally presented without extreme emphasis on any region. With a pair of headphones with this sound signature, you can hear audio with clarity and detail. The sound is vivid and revealing, a perfect mixture of instruments and vocals, lows, mids, and highs. This sound signature works for most music listeners who like switching between various music genres like Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Folk and Pop.
Two Way Active Bookshelf Speaker
Active speakers are engineered to have amplifiers built-in to them and they have one dedicated for each of the two drivers. So, a two-way speaker with one tweeter and one mid/bass driver unit will have two power amplifier modules, one for each driver (or 'way'). These speakers are fed by an 'active' powered crossover that works at a much lower voltage, which means the components can be optimised for precision rather than pure power handling, resulting in a potentially better integrated, more precise sound.
