Behringer B205D Eurolive Powered PA System (150 Watts)

No longer available at zZounds
Put sound right where you need it with this pint-sized powered speaker! Small enough to mount on a mic stand, the B205D has 3 inputs with individual volumes.

The Behringer B205D is a super-cool and innovative little powered speaker! It essentially gives you a great personal monitor with easily accessible controls right on the front panel. In the same spot, you've got 2 x XLR / 1/4-inch inputs that can deliver phantom power as needed!

Your potential uses for the B205D speaker are numerous: It makes a great practice speaker for playing and singing; it's an excellent personal stage monitor; and it will even serve as a solid PA system for voice or music in small rooms or more intimate settings. Small as the Behringer B205D is, it's more versatile than most powered speakers out there, and you're sure to find many uses for it in your rig.

150 Highly Manageable Watts

The Behringer B205D gives you 150 watts of power, which is delivered through a single 5.25-inch premium-quality, full-range neodymium driver.

Everything You Need, Right Up Front

The B205D's super-smart front panel design gives you three separate inputs. Channels 1 and 2 accept XLR microphones, or line-level inputs. Press the Instrument button, and Channel 1 is ready to accomodate Hi-Z signals, so you can plug in your guitar or bass without needing a separate DI box. Hit the +48V button to send phantom power to any condenser mics you might be using. Each of the inputs has its own preamp onboard and independent Volume knobs right on the front panel!

Three Independent Inputs!

The third input on this baby gives you a stereo pair of RCA jacks, for running in MP3 read more or CD players, a DJ mixer, or any other RCA stereo source. You use this to practice along with recordings, or could turn your next party into an instant karaoke throwdown. Yes, please! Input 3 also has its own independent Volume knob.

Above the input section on he front panel, you'll find a solid 3-band EQ so that you can dial in the essential mix on the speaker correct for the use. If you're simply using the speaker to give remarks or a speech, you might want to drop the LF down so that you get a clearer and more direct sound. Conversely, if you're running hot guitars or keyboard through here, you might find yourself rolling back a bit on the high frequencies. It's your personal monitor -- set that EQ however you like it.

Will Link With Other Speakers

When you're ready to use the Behringer B205D in a system that will provide more sound coverage, simply use the balanced XLR "through" connector to link it with other loudspeakers in series.

Got A Mic Stand?

The final awesome detail on this neat little powered speaker is the incorporated mic stand mount that allows you to use it along with a mic stand and boom. This is one cleverly designed portable powered loudspeaker!

Behringer B205D Eurolive Active Speaker

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 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 their 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, Behringer has 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, Behringer 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, these 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. This 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. While some manufacturers outsource theirs, Behringer custom-designs and builds speakers from scratch: winding voice coils, processing paper pulp into cones, even machining speaker back plates and frames. This enables Behringer 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.

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.

"Where has this been all my life?!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
This is as important as my mic. It isn't a "nice-to-have" item. I would buy another and another if I had to. It's really that good.

Sound
This is what you are looking for. It's crystal clear, loud as h---, and small. Each member of our band bought one and we are all thrilled. We don't even need our PA speakers for practices!

Features
1) I was considering a passive monitor but am I ever glad I got this with its EQ and volume! 2) We all really like the way this monitor lets you attach your boom mic to the top of the monitor. Many other reviewers complain about this for some reason, but I don't know why. They supply you with sturdy attachments and two locking rings that allow you to adjust the the position of the boom exactly how you want it and then lock it tightly in place. Very clever design. (German—what do you expect?)

Ease of Use
Here's my big p.o.: Assuming you are in a band, and you want to connect more than one monitor ( we bought 3) to the other(s)...good luck figuring it out. My other band member and I took two evenings to figure it out! The manual is devoid of any information that explains how to connect more than one monitor. So I'll save you some grief and explain it now: !) To connect your PA to monitor: Plug chord into your PA's "Monitor" jack and to the "MIC/LINE 1" jack located on the front panel of your new monitor. This creates (what I will call) your read more Master monitor. This monitor's volume determines the minimum volume for all other "slave" monitors connected to it. (Note: each other "slave" monitor's volume can be individually adjusted higher (but not lower). 2) To connect Master monitor to a slave (2nd) monitor: First you have to buy a 3-Pin XLR Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Audio Cable. Plug in the female end into the "THRU" input, located at the back of the Master monitor and plug the male end into the "MAIN IN" input, located at the back of the slave monitor. 3) Repeat this connection method for other slave-toslave monitors. IMPORTANT: Keep all the monitors' volumes set fairly high, (3/4 all the way or more). We had our monitors hooked up correctly but under-estimated the volume required, which resulted in no sound.

Quality
It's built like a German tank. No worries that it will hold up well.

Value
This is so cheap when you consider all you are getting. It's a little PA + a litle guitar amp + a little CD player...all in one, all at the same time. I really recommend this high quality product. Before our band bought these monitors, we used to rent 3 big, clunky floor (wedge) monitors for $30.00 ea month! But these little Behringers are way better. This is the ffirst time in my 35+ years of playing that I can actually hear my voice midst the loud noise our band makes (and I play right next to our drummer!)

Manufacturer Support
Just bought them, but highly doubt there will be any problems.

The Wow Factor
I wouldn't even want to practice with my band without my Behringer. I am spoiled rotten now. This deceivingly small monitor is all I ever hoped for.
