Behringer Monitor1C Ultra Compact Monitor
5 1/2 in. woofer. 1/4 in. tweeter. 100 watt power handling capability.
"Behringer has a winner with these"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:They are your basic speakers that sounds excellent for the price. Not much to discuss in the way of features.
Quality:
Built extremely durably with metal grilles and heavy high-quality plastic enclosures.
Value:
Like I stated above, probably close to unbeateable for the money. You'd be hard pressed to find something it's equal for under $150 a pair.
Desirability:
Not much sex appeal here! Though very desirable for price point.
Sound:
For this price point - probably close to unbeatable. I use them as near-field monitors in my home studio. I do have a separate sub as these don't go much under 60 hz. For mastering purposes - they probably color the sound a little, but it didn't take long to get used to them and now I get fairly accurate recordings with these.
Ease of Use:
Plug 'em in and off you go. Not much eq-ing necessary. If your using them to master - they don't take long to get a feel for. You WILL need a sub though.
Support:
Never had to deal with them. I own upwards of 15 pieces of Behringer gear and have never had a problem.
Overall:
There are better speakers, though you'd pay a ton more to get a noticable difference. If you have a home studio on a budget or your looking for some small speakers to complete a system, I think this is a no-brainer.
"Can't be beat at this price point"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature: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.
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.
Desirability:
Nothing too outstanding about these speakers. Nothing new here. Just great specs for a great price.
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.
Ease of Use:
Plugs right in and makes sound!
Support:
I have no idea...
Overall:
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.

"Nice at Twice the Price"
Feature:
Two way speaker, 100 watts power handling, cheap, sounds good. what more do you want?
Quality:
Dropped one, the glued-on crossover came loose, breaking wiring as it went. A couple of zip ties and a bit of solder later and I'm back in business.
Value:
Where else can you get a set of speakers this nice for 50 or 60 bucks? I want some more "just because".
Desirability:
Not "sexy", but the sound at this price is great!
Sound:
Amazing for the price! Great imaging, useful to seperate parts from each other when learning a part. Bass seems a bit lacking at first... but after a burn-in period they loosen up a bit. When you play heavy bass through them there is a bit of "port huffing", especially with the grilles left on, (a fairly massive amount of air hitting the steel grille). Grilles can be pried off with a sharp narrow tool (ice pick). If Behringer could punch a hole through in front of the port, this design flaw would be taken care of and the drivers would still be protected.
Ease of Use:
Plug and play, except for removing the grilles.
Support:
Behringer has a new immediate-replacement-at-the-dealer policy that rocks.
Overall:
If I win the lotto I'll upgrade my little project studio with "pro-level" gear. These will do 'till then.
