What if you
could mount your personal monitor on a mic stand and point it right at your
face—and what if it sounded really good? What if it sounded so good it could be
used as your main PA system for more intimate gigs and meetings? Say hello to
the new B205D, an active PA loudspeaker that is small and light enough to mount
on a mic stand. But don’t let the small size fool you—the B205D cranks out
high-fidelity sound and comes loaded with features that will simply astound you!
The
Secret to B205D’s Amazing Sound
Thanks
to our revolutionary Class-D amplifier technology and internal switchmode power
supplies, not only do B205D loudspeakers sound great, they weigh considerably
less than most competing active speakers. They pump out 150 of the cleanest,
punchiest Watts you’ve ever heard from a compact loudspeaker, and you can link
additional active loudspeaker systems via the handy THRU socket. A built in
mixer provides three input channels, including a switchable instrument-ready
input (no DI required), and also features a dedicated 3-band EQ
(bass/mid/treble) for simple, yet effective tonal control.
Put
the Sound Where You Want It
Space
limitations often make it impossible to place full-sized monitor wedges where
they can do the most good—and passive monitors require lots of external
amplifiers and processing gear to function properly. All this adds up to even
more gear to move, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can easily
damage passive monitors by applying too much, or even worse, too little power to
them. With the B205D we’ve taken all the guesswork out, giving each loudspeaker
its own 150-Watt, Class-D amplifier specifically designed as the perfect mate
for the custom-engineered 5.25" neodymium driver.
Say
Goodbye to Back-breaking Floor Wedges
By
using an internal switch-mode power supply, we reduced the weight of the B205D
to a mere 7.0 lbs (3.2 kg). This means that instead of bringing in your old
passive floor wedges one-at-a-time, you can carry all your monitors in one
trip—without even breaking a sweat! They are small enough to mount on mic stands
(each speaker includes a special mic stand integration system), on a tabletop,
or they can be placed directly atop a piano or electronic keyboard.
Class-D
Technology Delivers High Power, Low Weight
Instead of operating relatively continuously like Class AB circuits,
Class-D amps switch on and off thousands of times per second, delivering power
only when needed. In other words, the amplifier is either fully on or fully off,
which significantly reduces the power losses in the output devices.
When used in conjunction with switching mode power supplies, our Class-D
amplifiers provide tremendous dynamic punch and superior fidelity. The resulting
speakers systems are much lighter, making them easy to transport and set up. Our
no-compromise design means your B205Ds deliver full power with incredible
fidelity all night long, without the need for rest cycles.
Custom-Engineered
Drivers
Let’s
face it; the drivers (otherwise known as speakers) are the only part of a sound
system you actually hear. So when it comes to ours, we don’t cut any corners.
While some of our competitors outsource theirs, we custom-design and build our
speakers from scratch. We wind our own voice coils, process the paper pulp into
cones and even machine our own speaker back plates and frames. This enables us
to control the quality, keep production costs down and frankly, to make better
components. The premium-grade 5.25" neodymium driver was designed specifically
and optimized solely for use in the B205D.
Instant
PA System
With
just a single B205D loudspeaker system and a microphone, you can set up an
instant, high-quality sound system. Thanks to the built-in preamp section, you
just connect a dynamic mic and raise and lower the volume with the LEVEL
control. Plug in your sound source (CD or MP3 player), place the speaker on a
tabletop or mic stand and power up. It’s just that easy. And if you need more
coverage, you can chain together as many as you like via the convenient LINK
OUTPUT XLR connector.
Stereo
Music System
You
can even use two B205Ds for stereo playback of your MP3, CD or cassette deck
without any additional hardware—pretty cool for playing background music or
making announcements. Just plug the appropriate stereo “breakout” adapter (not
included) into your deck’s output jack, run one cable to each loudspeaker and
set the Level and EQ controls the same on both B205Ds. Voilà, instant
party!
Marvelous
Monitoring
When
it comes to live monitoring, it just doesn’t get any more personal than this.
With the B205D, you can literally put the sound where you want it—and the sound
quality will simply astound you! It is small and light enough to mount on a mic
stand (it comes with an integration kit that even works with boom stands), yet
powerful enough to be used as a small, high-quality PA system. The built-in
3-channel mixer provides tremendous versatility and even allows additional
systems to be linked as slaves.
Value
The
EUROLIVE B205D provides highquality sound, tremendous functionality and
versatility for very little dough. Best of all, since the B205D is so compact
and lightweight, making it easy for you to load in or out at the gig. Compare
the B205D to the competition and you’ll own BEHRINGER with money to
spare!
