Questions about Passive Stage Monitors

What does 'impedance' mean when choosing a passive stage monitor?

Impedance (measured in ohms) dictates the amplifier power required; mismatched impedance can damage equipment or reduce performance.

Why would I choose a passive monitor over a powered one?

Passive monitors offer greater flexibility in amplifier selection and often provide better long-term value for larger stage setups.

How do I determine the appropriate power handling for my stage monitors?

Consider the overall system volume, the number of monitors needed, and the typical sound pressure levels required for your performances.
