Axiom Home Page Forums Thread Like Summary - DSP-1 / ADA1000

When you purchase an LFR you're getting a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) included as well. What is the difference between that and an amp or Axiom's ADA1000?

All other speakers can be connected directly to your receiver. They are called passive speakers.

Technically all speakers are analog. In passive speakers, the signals to the various drivers are sorted (filtered) using analog components. These components reside inside the speaker. In active speakers, the signals to the various drivers are sorted digitally or electronically. The superior method is digital. In the active LFR1100s, the digital methods reside in the DSPs.
