Anyone who is looking for an active speaker suitable for smaller locations will find the Behringer Eurolive B212D, with its integrated Class D amplifier, a very satisfactory solution. Equipped as it is with a low-interference input section, this surprisingly lightweight loudspeaker delivers a powerful, high-fidelity sound - ideal for a microphone or line-in signal that the integrated DSP will further optimise for sound projection. Compared to the Behringer Eurolive B212XL full-range speaker, a product from the same series, the B212D is an active and generally more powerful speaker with a slightly more focused horizontal coverage, although both units are angled for use as monitor wedges. This speaker is also available in a bundle comprising two speakers and two stands.

Truly multifunctional

By combining a 12" woofer with a 1.35" aluminium tweeter, the Behringer Eurolive B212D produces an impressive sound pressure level (SPL) of 125dB. Thanks to its dispersion angle of 90° by 60° (vertical/horizontal), the speaker has good listener coverage even when installed close to the audience. It offers two alternative input connections, either via the XLR or the jack sockets, with the signal then being fed through a DSP with a dual band equaliser for optimum sound. The Behringer Eurolive B212D can be used in countless setups and settings, as it can be placed as a free-standing vertical unit, elevated on a speaker stand, or laid on its side as an angled monitor wedge. Weighing in at only 14.5kg (just under 32lbs) and equipped with two carrying handles integrated into the plastic housing, the speaker can also be transported and set up with the minimum of fuss.

More than just a flexible PA

Beginners, and indeed all live musicians looking for an uncomplicated way to fill smaller spaces with good quality sound, will enjoy the effortless handling of the Behringer Eurolive B212D. Its frequency response is designed both for voices (singing or spoken) and instruments, so solo artists playing in cafés and presenters speaking at trade fairs will be well served in equal measure. And should more channels be necessary, the B212D is happy to help, with its line-in effortlessly connected to the output of a mixing desk: This flexibility really comes to the fore in multifunction venues like youth clubs. For seated audiences, there will always be space for the Behringer Eurolive B212D somewhere on the edge of the stage, with installation on a speaker stand (sold separately) better suited to standing audiences. For bands wanting to monitor their own sound, the B212D can also be placed on its side, and to save space in the smallest of rooms – like bars or in home studios – the speaker can be attached to a wall with the bracket specially made for this unit.

About Behringer

The company, which was founded in Germany by Uli Behringer and now manufactures its products in China, has been known for affordable and great-value equipment since its very first product, the Studio Exciter F. An array of mixing consoles (such as the Eurodesk MX8000), signal processors, and later sound amplification and monitoring equipment, has made it possible for countless musicians to fit out their home studios, practice rooms, and mobile PAs within budget limits that were previously unthinkable. The acquisition of other companies, including Midas, Klark Teknik, and TC Electronic, meant that new product groups were added - and also resulted in the technical expertise of these companies being incorporated into product development.

Set in stone or rolling stone

For playing larger locations, or for stereo sound in general, a further B212D (available as a pair in a bundle with two stands) can also be connected to the original unit using the XLR output socket. To ensure that the bass is always at the right levels, the Behringer Eurolive B212D is equipped with a dedicated bass controller on the rear of the unit, and to really double down on the low-end, the speaker can be combined with a subwoofer suitable for the space in question. For permanent installation, Behringer also manufacture the WB212 wall bracket, and the water-resistant cover is a practical accessory for touring festivals or for venues where the clientele can get a little more excitable.
