Overview
Behringer Monitor1C Ultra Compact Monitor
Behringer's new Monitor 1C is a compact high-performance 2-way loudspeaker system ideally suited for audio/video multimedia applications, home recording studios and surround-sound systems. It has a powerful 5 1/2 in. woofer with an extremely light-weight cellulose cone, a high-resolution 1/4 in. tweeter plus a phase-optimized high-precision crossover for absolute phase linearity. The result: an ultra-linear frequency response ranging from 60 Hz all the way up to 23 kHz. Thanks to the 1C's high power handling capability (100 Watts / IEC268-5) with auto overload protection that prevents tweeter damage and resets automatically, you get full-range output with extremely low distortion.

"Can't be beat at this price point"
Verified Customer

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I give it a "9" mostly due to the bare wire speaker connection (which really is not that big of a deal - just use high-grade speaker wire). Bass response is a bit lacking, though for the size of the bass driver, it is not surprising. With a solid sub, I believe you will have a winning system.
Sound
Excellent stereo separation, full mids and highs. If you are using these for mix down or mastering, I would highly recommend a sub. Low end (not surprizingly for a 5 inch mid/low speaker) is not solid under about 100-200 hZ. I use an 8 inch sub and the combination system sounds incredible.
Features
Has what you need. Grille is not removable for those who like to do that. I would like to have seen connectors other than bare wire compression posts.
Ease of Use
Plugs right in and makes sound!
Quality
Tough plastic case and metal grille makes these speakers fairly rugged. You probably could drop this off of a desk without damaging it.
Value
This is where Behringer shines - value for the money. At this price point, I do not think you can obtain a better speaker. I have heard of many shying away from Behringer, but I have several of their products. They are made well, perform well and, last.
Manufacturer Support
I have no idea...
The Wow Factor
Nothing too outstanding about these speakers. Nothing new here. Just great specs for a great price.
