Into Music Store stocks a carefully selected range of active PA speakers and stage monitors to complement our core drum and percussion range - covering the needs of gigging musicians, rehearsal rooms, small venues, and anyone looking to amplify an electronic drum kit or acoustic instrument without compromising on sound quality.

All speakers in our range are active (self-powered), meaning they have a built-in amplifier and require only a power connection and an audio input to operate. This makes them significantly easier to set up and transport than passive speaker systems, which require a separate power amplifier. For most musicians, rehearsal rooms, and small venues, an active speaker system is the most practical and cost-effective choice.

PA speakers are designed to project sound into a room toward an audience. The size of speaker you need depends primarily on the size of the room and the volume level required. A 12" active speaker is well suited to rehearsal rooms, small venues, busking, and home use. A 15" active speaker offers greater output and projection and is better suited to medium-sized venues and louder applications. Both the Citronic CASA and QTX ranges are available in 12" and 15" configurations.

The Citronic Neolith mk2 is a column array PA system combining an active subwoofer with a vertical column speaker array. Column array systems produce a wide horizontal spread of sound with a narrow vertical dispersion - meaning the sound reaches the audience clearly without bouncing off ceilings and causing feedback or echo. This makes them particularly well suited to speeches, acoustic performances, corporate events, and any situation where a clean, modern-looking PA is preferred over a traditional speaker-on-a-pole setup.

Stage monitors (also called foldback monitors or wedge monitors) face the performer rather than the audience, allowing musicians to hear themselves and the rest of the band clearly on stage. The Citronic CM-Series active wedge monitors are available in 12" (300W) and 15" (350W) configurations and include Bluetooth connectivity for wireless audio from a phone or tablet - useful for backing tracks and click tracks without additional cabling.

PA speakers are also a popular choice for amplifying electronic drum kits. A full-range active speaker or a pair of speakers provides a more natural and balanced sound than a dedicated drum amplifier in many setups, particularly for home practice and rehearsal use.
