Need background music in your small venue? Behringer's B115MP3 powered PA speakers have a built-in MP3 player -- just plug in a USB stick with your tracks.

EUROLIVE B115MP3 active loudspeakers are exactly what you've come to expect from Behringer--more power, more features and absolutely more affordable! Their engineers have really outdone themselves, creating two self-contained PA solutions that merge state-of-the-art, 1,000-Watt Class-D power amp technology, built-in wireless microphone capability and exceptional portability. These professional active loudspeakers are destined to become legends in its own right, alongside the other EUROLIVE models that have made Behringer the world leader in active loudspeakers.

Cut the Fat; Keep the Beef

Behringer drew from their considerable experience to build these performance-grade loudspeakers and made them lighter (B115D: 38 lbs./17.2 kg; B112D: 32 lbs./14.5 kg) and more powerful. They started with custom-engineered Class-D power amps for the ultimate in low-distortion power and efficiency. Backed by SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) technology, the high-tech alternative to heavy transformers and massive heat sinks, these loudspeakers can run cool all day and all night without even breaking a sweat!

Onboard MP3 Player

One of the coolest features on these loudspeakers is their fully addressable, embedded MP3 player. The 8-button user interface and high-contrast, multi-function LCD panel let you instantly browse tracks and enable shuffle, repeat or single-play modes. From break and background music to high-resolution performance tracks, this full-feature MP3 player can handle it read more all.

Wireless Wonderland

Until now, adding wireless microphones to a PA system meant either a mess of wires and dangling receivers or worse, a built-in receiver with dodgy performance and a hefty price tag. Those days are officially over thanks to Behringer ULTRALINK Series wireless mics that feature their exclusive, ultra-compact 2-channel receiver. Just plug the receiver into the dedicated wireless port on the rear panel and you have full access to two channels of supremely stable, natural-sounding wireless connectivity. Sold separately and available in hand-held or headset models, Behringer ULTRALINK Series wireless mics will immediately (and inexpensively) expand your B115D/B112D to handle virtually any live sound application.

Built-in Mixing Capability

The integrated mixer features the same ultra low-noise, high-headroom mic preamps that have made Behringer mixers legendary, and the two inputs accept virtually any mic/line level signal you're likely to run across. Variable Input gain controls (with Clip LED) will have you dialing in the perfect level every time. Just plug in a mic, along with a guitar/piano, connect your backing tracks via USB stick and let the show begin. And if you need more coverage, use the convenient Link Output XLR connector to add more active loudspeakers.

Power and Control

There is absolutely no substitute for amplifier power in high-performance loudspeakers; the kind of power it takes to deliver clean, in-your-face vocals and chest-thumping bass day in and day out. That's why Behringer gave these bad boys 1000-Watts of bi-amplified, digitally processed output power. But with great power comes great responsibility, so their engineers included a proprietary DSP (Digital Signal Processor) with high-end features such as a dual-band EQ, an active crossover, dual protection limiters and transducer response correction, ensuring these loudspeakers deliver incredible output at the lowest possible distortion levels.

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? They never cut corners on their transducers (woofers and tweeters), and they never just pull what they have off the shelf. Their LF (Low Frequency) and HF (High Frequency) transducers are designed specifically for each application--it's what sets them apart from the competition. When you buy a Behringer active loudspeaker, you can rest assured that the transducers inside have been engineered to perform flawlessly in conjunction with every other element for truly professional results. B115MP3 active speaker systems crank out massive quantities of low end, with articulate, detailed mids and crystal-clear highs.

Extraordinarily Versatile


Thanks to its trapezoidal shape, the B115MP3 is suitable for a wide variety of applications. They can be mounted on standard speaker poles, placed vertically atop subwoofers, or even laid on their side for use as onstage monitor wedges. Their extraordinary fidelity and frequency response make them a favorite of vocalists and instrumentalists alike. Hook up is simple, requiring only a single XLR or 1/4" cable from your mixing console and power. Additional monitors can be chained together via the XLR Link Output jack on the rear panel.

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 B112MP3 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 B115MP3 may be a better choice.

Sound Value

EUROLIVE active PA loudspeakers stand head and shoulders above the rest of the pack and deliver exceptional performance, even when pushed to their limits. Lightweight and powerful, with built-in mixers and custom-designed transducers, integrated wireless functionality and a user-friendly media player, B115MP3 active loudspeakers are ideal for both speech and music applications--at a price that is unheard of in this class.

Ok.. They came in, I unpacked right away to check for shipping damage... packed well, no issues. Hooked them up... played pink noise then 20 hz-30 hz- 40 hz - 50 hz sine wave to break the woofers in a bit... at first they were very stiff so there was distortion when turned up about half power... After playing 20 hz for an hour or so, I played pink noise for another hour... then, I played Amazing Grace by LeAnn Rimes... Oh My Lord... These things are AMAZING!!!! Then I played a few songs that I always use for system tuning when I do installs and I have to say... These things sound fantastic.... I am actually wanting 2 pairs of the nonpowered of these to replace my RECENTLY REBUILT Yamaha Club 12" mains... This speaker blows them away... The HORN is SO SMOOTH and CLEAN!!! I WILL have more of these as my company grows...

Sound
These speakers have a fairly flat response when I merered it with my RTA.. I can add graphs if anyone wants... but listening... They have a bit of a peak at 125 hz but when I add a little bass from the eq on back they sound great... I used a 15 band eq and with a drop at 120 hz and a little boost at 63 hz, these things are UNBELIEVABLE !!! I have been a sound engineer since 1990, and I have NEVER heard such a clear horn for this kind of money. I do not think the woofer is strong enough for the power but it is still breaking in so it may surprise me. The amp is very strong and clean.... again, for the money, these CAN NOT read more BE BEAT... They do not pull a lot of wall power either..

Features
The USB port / mp3 player is GREAT.. It is quick, clean, easy to use, and since I got these speakers, I pull one out, put a thumb drive in, and had GREAT sounding music while I set up. The 1st gig I did after getting these was a MMA fight event outside... I had 1 turned to the building where the fighters came out, the fast food joint ACROSS THE ROAD... STRAIGHT PAST THE RAMADA WE WERE PLAYING AT... asked me to turn it down, THEY COULD NOT HEAR ORDERS IN THE DRIVE THROUGH... The other I had toward the crowd of over 500 along with my 2 @ Yamaha club series 12" 2 ways on a Behringer mixer at 8 ohms getting 300 W RMS each and the 2 were not as loud or clean as 1 of these. I have 2 @ subs for bass and the Yamahas NEED the subs... This speaker does not. It definitely sounds better with a sub but it is not needed for small DJ gigs or for vocals in a large room.... I have a 30 band digital eq in my amp rack so I really had these sounding AMAZING but it took VERY LITTLE eqing to do so... The on board eq is great for simple systems and if you daisy chain the 2, the bass and trebble on one affects the other so just set the gain on the 2nd and control by the 1st...

Ease of Use
SUPER SIMPLE!!!

Quality
These speakers seem to be very well built. I DO think the amp is too much for the woofer but the highs amp and horn are simply AMAZING!!!! The woofer soes sound better towards the end of the gig every time so it is still breaking in so we will see...

Value
This speaker is AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING VALUE. I WILL be getting more of these as I grow my sound company!

Manufacturer Support
I have not needed them for these, however, I did have to get a warranty claim for a mixer I have and it took about 7 hours to get it all taken care of... I have not sent it off yet but I will update this once I see how they are with that...

The Wow Factor
The ONLY complaint is the sticker on the grill left a sticky film so I had to take the grills off and soak them to get the residue off.

Musical Background:
I started learning a sound board for my dad's band in 1990 and not stopped since and 2 yrs in a recording studio I helped build

Musical Style:
All music genres
