Active Loudspeakers.

Zoomup

Dad, these active loudspeakers seem to have loads of stuff inside them, and I reckon that they will overheat with long use and perhaps break down, because of inadequate ventilation. What do you think?

    Nah,

    These have been quite common in the Rock'n'Roll touring world for a while.

    They often have largish heatsinks on the rear to dissipate the heat from the active components.

    There are many repair videos on Youtube son where the internals have failed. If the active speaker is installed in a difficult place it may be awkward and expensive to remove it for replacement of repair.

    No problems, as yet - after 6 years, with my very compact Sonos play 1 active speaker setup. It booms out all around the house. when given some input.
