Behringer EUROLIVE B212D Active 550 Watt 2-Way 12" PA Speaker System

The Behringer EUROLIVE B212D Active 550 Watt 2-Way 12" PA Speaker System is exactly what you’ve come to expect from Behringer – more power, more features and absolutely more affordable! Behringer's engineers have really outdone themselves, creating a self-contained PA solution that merges state-of-the-art, 550-Watt Class D power amp technology, an ultra-low noise Mic/Line input section with volume control, integrated DSP – and exceptional portability.

Then they loaded the B212D with their best 12" long-excursion driver for incredibly deep bass, and a state-of-the-art 1.35" aluminum-diaphragm compression driver for exceptional high-frequency reproduction. The B212D professional active loudspeaker is destined to become a legend in its own right, alongside the other EUROLIVE models that have made Behringer the world leader in active loudspeakers.

CLASS D – MASSIVE POWER, PERFECT SOUND

Thanks to Behringer's revolutionary Class D amplifier technology, they are able to provide you with enormous power and incredible sonic performance in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable and lightweight package. Class D amplification makes all the difference, offering the ultimate in energy efficiency and eliminating the need for heavy power supplies and massive heat sinks. This amazing technology makes it possible to design and build extremely powerful products that are significantly lighter in weight than their traditional counterparts, while using less energy and protecting the environment.

CUT THE FAT; KEEP THE BEEF

Behringer drew from their considerable experience to build the B212D performance-grade loudspeaker and made it lighter 31.9 lbs and more powerful. With custom-engineered Class D power amps for the ultimate in power and efficiency, backed by SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) technology – the high-tech alternative to heavy transformers and massive heat sinks – your B212D loudspeaker can run cool all day and all night without even breaking a sweat – or your back!

BI-AMPLIFICATION – THE PATH TO ABSOLUTE SIGNAL INTEGRITY

With its 550 ultra-clean Watts of digital output delivered through separately-powered drivers, courtesy of true bi-amping (2 amplifiers per speaker system), the B212D delivers high-resolution sound that really brings out the best in your music. While some of Behringer's competitors apply simple passive crossovers, which inaccurately separates the frequency spectrum and degrade driver performance, Behringer has gone the extra mile – driving each woofer and tweeter with a separate amplifier for absolute signal integrity.

CUSTOM-ENGINEERED TRANSDUCERS

Powerful, high-efficiency Class D amplifiers and Switch Mode Power Supply technology coupled with state-of-the-art DSP functionality sure sounds impressive—but what about the part of the system you actually hear? Behringer's LF (Low Frequency) and HF (High Frequency) transducers are designed specifically for each application – it’s what sets us apart from the competition. When you buy a Behringer active loudspeaker, you can rest assured the transducers inside have been engineered to perform flawlessly with every other element for truly professional results. The B212D cranks out massive quantities of low end, with articulate, detailed mids and crystal-clear highs.

EXTRAORDINARILY VERSATILE

Thanks to its trapezoidal shape, the B212D is suitable for a wide variety of applications, such as mounting on standard speaker poles, vertical placement atop subwoofers, or even laid on the side for use as onstage monitor wedges. The B212D’s extraordinary fidelity and frequency response make it a favorite of vocalists and instrumentalists alike. Hookup is simple, requiring only a single XLR or ¼" cable from your mixing console and power. Additional active monitors can be chained together via the XLR Link Output jack on the rear panel.

CHOOSE WHITE, BLACK, ON OR OFF THE WALL…

You asked for it and now they offer these amazing loudspeakers in either black or white, with or without matching swivel, wall-mount brackets. That means your B212D is ideally suited for your venue’s color scheme and layout. No matter what your sound or aesthetic needs, they make a great-sounding loudspeaker that’s just right for you!

WHICH SPEAKER SHOULD I BUY?

Well, let’s start with your application… are you giving a speech in a hotel ballroom – or rocking out at the local bar or dance club? Whether to choose one speaker cabinet over another depends on your bass requirements. A 15" woofer has about 40% more surface area with which to move air than a 12" and that translates into more bass. So if you’re addressing a small meeting, or jamming at the coffee house, the B212D might be all you’ll ever need. But if you’re providing disco in a busy nightclub, hosting Karaoke night in your living room, or just need to crank it up louder, then the B215D may be a better choice.
