Thanks to our revolutionary Class-D amplifier
technology and internal switch-mode power supplies, EUROLIVE D Series
loudspeakers provide a much better power-to-weight ratio than competing
active speakers. Put simply, you get all the power of traditional
bi-amped active loudspeakers without all the backbreaking weight. And
the sound quality of these lightweight loudspeakers exceeds that of our
extremely popular EUROLIVE B215D and B212D systems, plus we've given
them even more output power and a significant transducer upgrade.
Due to their high-efficiency design, EUROLIVE
B615D and B612D active loudspeakers crank out 1500 of the cleanest,
punchiest audio Watts we've ever packed into a compact loudspeaker
system. The integrated sound processor provides total system control
for dependable protection of the LF/HF transducers, and thanks to the
built-in active high-pass filter, you can run them full out without the
slightest hint of distortion. In addition, both models feature an
Ultra-Low Noise (ULN) Mic/Line input with Level control and dedicated
2-band EQ (bass/treble) for easy control.
Intelligent by Design
One of the coolest things about active loudspeakers
is the lack of back-breaking racks of amps, crossovers and EQs that are
often required to make passive speaker systems sound almost as good. But
that comes with a trade-off—that extra weight is transferred to the
loudspeaker, making it difficult for a single user to heave all that
mass onto the top of a speaker stand. BEHRINGER EUROLIVE D Series'
“Intelligent-Design” merges the best features of active loudspeakers
with significantly lower weight through the use of switch-mode power
supplies (SMPS) and Class-D amplifier topology.
Class-D Amplifier Technology Delivers High Power With 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 as it is needed. In other words,
the amplifier is either fully on or fully off, which significantly
reduces the power losses in the output devices. Although we didn't
invent Class-D technology, our R&D Department has spent years
perfecting our own version with all the benefits of reduced weight and
cool running—and none of the drawbacks.
Massive Power to Size Ratio
At the heart of each B615D and B612D are two
high-current amplifiers with a combined maximum output of 1500 Watts.
These Class-D amps are capable of driving the speakers to their maximum
without damage or distortion thanks to their internal active protection
circuits. Put simply, these systems will astound you with their massive
punch, smooth midrange and articulate top-end.
Custom-Designed Transducers
Let's face it; the transducers (woofers and
tweeters) are the only part of a sound system you actually hear, so we
never cut any corners here. While some of our competitors are content to
buy off-the-shelf transducers and plug them into their boxes, we
custom-design and build ours from scratch. We wind the voice coils,
process the paper pulp into cones—and even machine our own back plates.
This enables us to control the quality, and frankly to make better
components, like the long-excursion 12 and 15" LF transducers and
state-of-the-art 1.75" titanium-diaphragm compression drivers we load
into each and every B612D/B615D.
Instant PA System
With just a single EUROLIVE D Series loudspeaker
and a microphone you can set up an instant 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. Place the speaker on a tabletop
or stand, and power up. It's just that easy. And if you need more
coverage, say for a larger room or audience, you can add more active
loudspeakers via the convenient Link Output XLR connector.
Stereo Music System
You can even use two D Series enclosures for
stereo playback of your music sound files without any additional
hardware. Just plug the appropriate stereo “breakout” adapter into your
deck's output jack and run the cables to the 1/4" inputs on each
loudspeaker. Set the Level and EQ controls the same on both enclosures.
Voilà , instant party!
Marvelous as Monitors
Thanks to their trapezoidal design, these
cabinets can be laid on their side providing the ideal angle for onstage
monitor wedge applications. Hookup is simple, requiring only a single
XLR or 1/4" cable from the monitor send on your mixing console and
power. Additional monitors can be chained together via the XLR Link
Output jack on the rear panel.
Powerful Low Frequency Response
The EUROLIVE D Series was built with extended
low frequency handling in mind. Thanks to their internally braced,
injection-molded, tuned-port enclosures, these bad boys really crank out
serious quantities of bass. Keep in mind that bass response varies
according to LF transducer size, so the larger the speaker, the more
bass you will be able to generate.
Articulate Midrange and Treble
Even if your particular application doesn't
include booming bass, you'll love the sheer accuracy of these
loudspeakers. Over a year went into designing an exponential
horn/titanium-diaphragm compression driver combination that could handle
serious hard rock or dance music—yet also satisfy audiophiles with its
musical timbre and attention to detail. For spoken word, singing or
acoustical instruments, the EUROLIVE D Series is un-matched for its
ability to articulate complex harmonic content. In fact, many customers
say these are the most natural-sounding speakers they've ever heard,
even when compared to systems costing much more.
Processor Controlled Output
Hidden deep inside each enclosure is the
equivalent of an active 2-way electronic crossover, graphic EQ,
parametric EQ, mic preamp, limiter and two Class-D power amplifiers, yet
overall weight is less than comparable loudspeaker systems. These
components work together seamlessly to provide optimal sound quality
without you ever having to touch a single knob. As output demands rise,
the internal processor frees up LF amp and transducer resources by
reducing program bass content, so that higher overall system volume can
be realized. It's like having a tiny soundman inside each cabinet
constantly monitoring and changing output parameters for the best
possible sound.
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 meeting, or jamming at the local blues joint,
the B612D 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
want a little more “thump”, then the B615D may be a better choice.
