This highlights another advantage of active speaker technology, particularly when implemented digitally. With DSP and proper drivers, amplifiers, and enclosures, a designer can overcome the limitations that plague purely passive designs, especially in terms of bass extension.

Then, of course, there’s the potential of online updates for the DSP section. This feature is not unique to Treble Clef Audio—Buchardt Audio, System Audio, Kii Audio, Dutch & Dutch, and other companies are delivering updates of various types, too. But awareness of this in the audiophile community is not yet widespread. In fact, I believe that the idea remains as unfamiliar to audiophiles as Cockburn’s music was to my friend until our afternoon of listening and Cockburn’s talk that evening.
