Behringer B815NEO Powered PA Speaker

The Eurolive 1,200-Watt NEO Series active loudspeakers are destined to become the standard in high-quality live sound reproduction. Packed with an incredible array of truly professional features, these brutes provide extreme levels of low-end punch, with the kind of high-fidelity definition and clarity typically reserved for much larger systems. These powerful speaker systems outperform their predecessors -- and weigh 30% less.

Class-D Works its Magic

What's the secret? These state-of-the-art active loudspeakers are powered by custom-engineered Class-D amplifiers, which drive the low- and high-frequency transducers to their limits without even the slightest hint of distortion. Best of all, the Class-D amplifiers use switch-mode power supplies, which don't need massive transformers and heat sinks, so they provide a much better power-to-weight ratio than many competing active systems.

Put simply, these cool-running systems are up to 30% lighter than their predecessors, making them ultra-easy to transport and set up. The no-compromise design means you get solid punchy bass, along with powerful mids and pristine highs that will keep the party going all night long.

Digital Signal Processing

From the instant the signal enters the NEO system, the digital processor takes over, ensuring the highest possible signal integrity. Much more than just selective EQ enhancement, the 24-bit DSP (Digital Signal Processor) circuitry analyzes the signal and intelligently applies specific filters to actually improve the sound quality. It's like having a tiny sound guy inside each enclosure (with all the best gear), monitoring the input and output signals, dialing in the perfect EQ and constantly making subtle adjustments to the crossover, compressor/limiter and more.

Custom-Designed Transducers

Let's face it; the transducer (speaker) is the only part of a sound system you actually hear, so Behringer doesn't cut any corners. Their transducers are built from scratch. Not only do they wind their own voice coils, they process the paper pulp into cones and even machine the frames and back plates. This enables Behringer to control the quality, and frankly, make better components--like the neodymium woofers and 1.75" neodymium titaniumdiaphragm compression drivers deployed in each and every NEO Series loudspeaker.

Power to Spare

Cutting-edge technology and high fidelity transducers are not all it takes to get your message across--you need power, and lots of it. At the heart of each of these systems is a bi-amped 1,200-Watt engine capable of driving the speakers to their very limit, without the slightest hint of distortion. When it comes to pure output power, the EUROLIVE NEO Series loudspeaker will simply blow you away with its massive punch, smooth mids and articulate top-end.

Instant PA System

With just a single NEO loudspeaker system and one or two dynamic microphones, you can set up an instant sound system. The onboard mixer features a LEVEL control for each input and a dual-band master EQ, complete with an adjustable Low Cut filter to help eliminate annoying breath pops and mic handling noise. An additional Contour filter allows you to select Speech (for enhanced voice intelligibility), or Music for the broader frequency range required for the high-fidelity reproduction of music. And if you need more coverage, you can chain together as many as you like via the convenient Line Out XLR connector.

Marvelous Monitoring

When laid on their side, NEO Series loudspeakers tilt to the ideal angle for onstage monitor wedge applications. Hookup is simple, requiring only a single XLR cable from the monitor send on the mixing console and, of course, power. Additional monitors can be chained together via the XLR Line Out jack on the loudspeaker's rear panel.

More Than Just a PA Loudspeaker...

NEO Series loudspeakers also make excellent onstage monitors for keyboards, acoustic guitars, or any line-level instrument for that matter. You can plug your instrument into Mic/Line 1 and use the Mic/Line 2 input to connect the monitor signal from the PA mixing console, so that you can also hear the other members of your band. This opens up lots of possibilities.

If you want to use more than two instruments, you will need a submixer (e.g. XENYX 1204) to mix down the signals. You will need a special adapter to convert a standard 1/4" TS cable to XLR, or a direct injection box such as the Ultra-DI DI100.

815 neo's =2 years of constant performance and no repairs....cant say that about our $ev's that were replaced by them.....i would put these speakers up against any of the so called big shot name brands. without hesitation.....we learned that #1....throwing tons of money at a name brand doesn't mean that it will outperform a lower priced version. #2. most reviews of high cost speakers need to be ignored because who wants to rate a speaker low when they dumped too much money into it....If you have high end speakers...don't compare them to the Behringer's because your feelings are going to be hurt...same (or better sound)..half the price...Phenomenal BASS 815neo AK47 of the speaker world. Perfect for BAND, DJ and whatever.....awesome as a drum monitor as well.
