Description of Bookshelf speaker system BEHRINGER Truth B2031A 1 speaker black
Among the widest selection of audio equipment, BEHRINGER has always stood out favorably. An excellent combination of the use of the latest technologies, the strictest control over production and a reasonable price immediately attracts the attention of even the most demanding customers.
The BEHRINGER B2031A active two-way studio monitor is very popular. The name of the TRUTH series speaks for itself - only real sound, the way it should be! The B2031A is an improved version of the sensational BEHRINGER B2031. In addition to high resolution, the reference monitor has an XLR input and a 1/4" TRS servo-balanced jack. It provides a perfectly flat frequency response in the range of 50 - 21,000 Hz.
The manufacturer has implemented electromagnetic shielding in this model, so you can safely install the B2031A next to a computer display or video monitor.
Speaking about the power of work, it is worth noting that amplifiers of 150 W and 75 W were built into the model, which have a significant power reserve. And limiters, which can be controlled separately from each other, protect the speakers from overload.
One of the very first and most important questions is how dense low frequencies sound and do they overload the sound? The BEHRINGER B2031A does not have a problem that is often found in similar devices. The 8.75-inch woofer has a special polypropylene cone, so we get deep and rich bass at the output. In addition, it is equipped with a die-cast aluminum chassis, which is excellent in resisting deformation. At the same time, the high-frequency driver is cooled with a ferrofluid, and at this time we enjoy a clear and distinct reproduction of the high-frequency range. As a result - excellent, high-quality and balanced sound! But this is not all the features of the BEHRINGER B2031A monitor. Featuring a unique proprietary waveguide and an active crossover with 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley filters, the device delivers exceptionally flat phase response and the widest opening angle.
The manufacturer took care of all the little things and details. The stable body of the BEHRINGER B2031A is made from the innovative E1 MDF material, which is environmentally friendly. The monitor is designed according to ISO900 certified system.
All this allows the BEHRINGER B2031A active monitor to easily adapt not only to a wide variety of acoustic conditions and settings, but also perfectly adapt to the playback of any musical instruments and other equipment.

Pros
- Initially, I was looking for just such an option, for reasonable money, decent sound and a built-in amplifier, because. there is no possibility to bother with a full-fledged construction of an audio path now. Got what I wanted 100%. Clean, smooth, distinct monitor sound. But it does not kill all the beauty of the music, you can listen just for fun, and not just for monitoring / mixing. Surprisingly, the detail is better than in headphones (AKG 271, Sennheiser HD650, ATH-ES10). Very powerful, can be used as near and midfield monitors. When working somewhere at 50% volume, noticeable distortion is not audible. I haven’t tried it again, there is no soundproofing in the apartment, the neighbors will kill me. The bass is quite sufficient, very powerful, but not overpowered, it all depends on the recording, but also on a million things, especially the parameters of the room and the placement of the speakers. Even at high volume, the sound is very soft, does not press on the ears and does not cause tinnitus. Phase inverters look forward, which allows you not to bother much with installation in corners and niches. Design looks very cool. I don’t know how mathematically effective double thin phase inverters are there, but it looks interesting. The materials are very pleasant, in appearance and to the touch.
Cons
- Perhaps, the built-in amplifiers are heating up, but this is not a minus, these are the features of modern technology. I may be picking, but it would be nice to have an acoustically transparent protective mesh. Open to the world, bare speakers hide the possible pain of a squeezed cap or something worse. On woofers, there are no mechanical tricks to eliminate "standing waves", such as speaker staggering or other chips. But, probably, I'm not talking about that price range.
Pros
- Not expensive! They sound decent for their money. Normal detail. Well-attached separation filters, you can optimize the sound "to the touch." You can build a picture. This tool B2031A is suitable for its purposes. For this money, I would buy these speakers again, because the neighbors in quality are, in my opinion, twice as expensive.
Cons
- I'm amazed how people compare monitor speakers to home speakers. People remember you choose a LENS for sound, not a "sweet tambourine" Attention, these speakers are designed for the average control field. I remind you to place strictly vertically in a triangle. For post-production, no mid-field monitor is suitable. Every thing has its own needs. Please don't rate speakers on mp3 sound, take 24bit sound from the sessions, only then judge. While there is a claim to the speakers, the recorded acoustic guitar "Ramiras", the strings, after touching up, kicked out in the extreme high-frequency range a little unnaturally. This happened against the backdrop of the fact that the soundboard of the guitar sounds right. I think this low-cost tweeter gave such an artifact due to the high dynamics at the edge of the HF spectrum of the strings.
Pros
- +Balance/unbalance + Adequate price + Linear sound + Pleasant highs, lows. The middle is a little less detailed. Dips are not audible, they allow you to hear the fig quality of the sound source. + No volume control (yes, yes, this is a plus, the adjustment worsens the sound) + There are frequency adjustments for the room (for example, if the monitors are in the corner, they need to be cut by 4dB to equalize the bass)
Cons
- -Auto power off works at a low volume level when it is not necessary (I will explain: there is a mode that allows you to switch monitors to standby mode in the absence of a signal and reduce power consumption).
Pros
- All range except bass.
Cons
- There is no bass (you can say it is not).
Pros
- The sound picture in them, with the correct location, is even and clear. But do not forget about the preparation of the room. More than enough for a home studio.
Cons
- I sometimes have one column podglyuchivaet and does not turn on. Dust has entered the on/auto switch to self-off mode. It is worth pulling this switch, everything is ok at once. This very rarely happens, but it does happen. I don't see any cons in terms of sound. I'm used to them.
Pros
- see comment
Cons
- if the case, then the tops and bottoms are not as convincing as the middle. But maybe because the middle here is on the verge of the impossible!
Pros
- Good transparent sound, if you correctly position the monitors and rebuild them (read the instructions). For a home studio like "project" that's it. In general, I used to treat Behringer with contempt, I can say about these monitors that they sound much better than M-Audio and the ubiquitous morally and physically obsolete KRK. Bonus features such as frequency detuning to suit your room (on the rear panel). So that *wise men* don't mind about this, this function helped me personally to rebuild the monitors evenly in frequencies. In general, the device is good, I recommend.
Cons
- For this price segment, they are not significant.
Pros
- Sound. Adjustments. Quality materials. Successful design.
Cons
- Heavy. Auto power off is triggered by an audible signal. Very sensitive to correct installation.
Pros
- -very powerful (for an unmuffled 18 sq. M. room -1/10 volume) -has an auto-off -bass from 40 Hz - nch not kevlar or fiberglass. -I like how they reproduce the voice, vocals. I like the sound - connection balanced and unbalanced. -no volume control - for the unenlightened - preamplifier. which allows the manufacturer not to spend money on something that will ONLY worsen the sound. remote control there.
Cons
- Of course, an 8-inch bass is a bit too much for a good reproduction of the mids, but I'm satisfied with the mids. At high volume, the fasiks make obscene sounds. -at night, when listening to music quietly, auto-shutdown works ((. smart people like: turn off the auto-shutdown - go to the bathhouse. It annoys me every time to run to each speaker and press the switch. - not very high resolution. there is not enough detail. with a bad source, only a plus (a separate duck up to 15,000 per bu), with a good one, this is a minus.
