Finally, great-sounding active loudspeakers that wont break your back or bank account! 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 without the backbreaking weight. And the sound quality of these lightweight loudspeakers exceeds that of our extremely popular EUROLIVE B212A and B215A systems plus weve included two 200-Watt models, the B210D (10") and B208D (8") for less demanding applications. Due to their high-efficiency design, they crank out 550/200 of the cleanest,
punchiest audio Watts youve ever heard from a compact loudspeaker system. The integrated sound processor provides total system control, along with dependable protection of the LF and HF transducers, thanks to the built-in active high-pass filter, which virtually eliminate distortion even at extreme operating levels. In addition, all four models feature an Ultra-Low Noise (ULN) Mic/Line input with LEVEL control and a 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. BEHRINGERs D Series IntelligentDesign merges the best features of active loudspeakers with significantly lower weight by using switch-mode power supplies and Class-D amplifier topology. 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 optimum sound quality and it all takes place automatically, without you having to touch a single knob. 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 when needed. In other words, the amplifier is either fully on or fully off, which significantly reduces the power losses in the output devices. This is easy in theory and complex in practice, which is why there are so many different

Class-D designs. Without boring you with terms like PWM Generation and Gate Drivers, lets just say that to realize the benefits of a Class-D design requires compensating for a lot of potential problems that can cause audible distortion. BEHRINGER didnt invent Class-D technology, but our R&D Department has been working for years to perfect our own version with all the benefits of reduced weight and cool running, and none of the drawbacks. Thats why we invested over a solid year of research time eliminating pitfalls like quantizing errors and excess dead time, selecting just the right switching frequency (and other equally tech-y terms). And why we spent an equally long time testing individual components to ensure they will stand up to the rigors of the real world. When combined with switching-mode power supplies that replace heavy toroid transformers, our new designs provide more dynamic punch since the higher switching frequency reloads the supplys capacitors much faster. And, because they are so much more efficient, the D Series runs cooler and doesnt require huge, heavy heat sinks. The resulting speakers systems are much lighter, making them easy to transport and set up. Our no-compromise design means your

D Series active loudspeakers will deliver full power and incredible fidelity all night long, with no need for rest cycles. Instant PA system With just a single D Series loudspeaker system and a microphone or MP3 player, 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. Plug in your sound source, place the speaker on a tabletop or stand, and power up. Its just that easy. And if you need more coverage, simply use the convenient LINK OUTPUT XLR connector to add more active loudspeakers. Stereo music system You can even use two D Series enclosures for stereo playback of your MP3, CD or old-skool cassette deck without any additional hardware. Just plug the appropriate stereo breakout adapter into your decks output jack and run the cables to the " inputs on each loudspeaker. Set the Level and EQ controls the same on both enclosures. Voil, instant party!
Marvelous monitoring 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 " cable from the monitor send on your mixing console and, of course, power. Additional monitors can be chained together via the XLR LINK OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. Custom-designed transducers Lets face it; the transducers (woofers and tweeters) are the only part of a sound system you actually hear, so we dont cut any corners. While some of our competitors are content to buy off-the-shelf transducers and plug them into their boxes, we custom-design and build our transducers from scratch. Not only do we wind our own voice coils, we process the paper pulp into cones and even machine our own backplates. This enables us to control the quality, and frankly, make better components, like the long-excursion LF transducers and state-of-the-art 1.35" compression drivers we deploy in each and every EUROLIVE enclosure.

Low frequency response The EUROLIVE D Series was built with extended low frequency handling in mind. With a tuned port, internally braced, injection molded enclosure, each models custom-designed LF transducer (woofer) really cranks out tight low end. 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.

Accurate non-fatiguing midrange and treble Even if your particular application doesnt include booming bass, youll love the sheer accuracy of these loudspeakers. Over a year of design went into a exponential horn/aluminum dome compression driver combination that could do justice to loud hard rock or dance music yet could also satisfy audiophiles with its musical timbre and attention to detail. For spoken word, singing or acoustical instruments, they are un-matched for being able to articulate complex harmonic details. In fact, many customers think its the most naturalsounding speaker theyve ever heard at anywhere near the price.
Processor controlled output Dynamic processing is one of the best ways to maximize output without sacrificing sound quality. The D Series built-in circuitry automatically adjusts program content, allowing the loudspeaker to operate at extreme levels. It accomplishes this by reducing bass output slightly as you approach the limit of the transducers. This frees up LF amp and transducer resources, so that higher overall volume can be realized. Its like having a tiny soundman inside each cabinet constantly monitoring and changing output parameters. By making subtle changes to the crossover frequency and the audio content, the system is able to crank out more sound without the slightest hint of distortion.

Massive power to size ratio Cutting-edge technology and high-fidelity speakers are not all it takes to get your message across you need power, and lots of it. At the heart of each EUROLIVE D Series loudspeaker are two high-current amplifiers with a total output of 550-Watts for the B212D/B215D and 200-Watts for the B210D/B208D. Theyre capable of driving the speakers to their maximum with no distortion and without speaker damage, thanks to active internal protection circuits. Put simply, they will astound you with their massive punch, smooth mids and articulate top-end! Which speaker do I need? As youve probably noticed, we make these active loudspeakers in four different woofer sizes. Which one is right for you? Well, lets start with your application. Is it spoken word in a hotel ballroom? Hard rock in a park? A folk singer or a drum n bass DJ? Loud enough for an 18-year old or loud enough for your grandmother? A huge auditorium or a tiny club? Physics are physics and a 15" low frequency transducer has almost 40% more surface area with which to move

air than a 12". A 12" has 30% more area than a 10", and a 10" has 35% more than an 8". So the easiest answer is Whether to choose one speaker cabinet over another depends on your bass requirements. If youre addressing a small meeting, or demoing the latest slice-o-chop-ovegamatic at the swap meet or county fair, the B208D might be all the speaker youll need. But if youre providing disco to the masses at a standing room only nightclub or you just need to crank it up louder, then the B215D may be a better choice. As you can see, Bass requirements isnt quite as easy an answer as it sounds. The larger a rooms cubic volume, the more energy is required to achieve a given level of bass. In other words, when playing the same tune in a big room versus a small room, big room = less bass; small room = more bass. Confused yet? We suggest that you consult your BEHRINGER dealer for more advice on this subject, which is also a good time to do a listening test against their competition and against each other. Judge for yourself. And then own BEHRINGER with money to spare.
