An affordable high-resolution, active 2-way reference studio monitor.
Behringer designed TRUTH B2030A Reference Monitors to speak nothing but the truth. When it comes to
your studio recordings, you want honesty. In fact, considering how important your art is, you should demand it! TRUTH B2030A
monitors also sound great hooked up to your stereo or your video surround system, but they were really built with the studio
in mind—where every note you play or sing is under the microscope.
Built on the Behringer Legacy
Behringer TRUTH B2030A monitors have been so wildly successful that they've sold thousands upon thousands of them to some
of the most critical ears on the planet. Due to their high-resolution performance, 2-way B2030A active reference studio monitors
are perfect for nearfield monitoring applications—from small mixing environments to multi-channel surround setups.
Don't
Let the Size Fool You
Despite its small size, the TRUTH B2030A can achieve a peak output level in excess of 113 dB SPL. Powered by built-in 80-
and 35-Watt amplifiers combined with a high-precision active crossover, these monitors provide ultra-linear frequency response
from 50 Hz to 21 kHz.
Behringer Calls it a Speaker Graduation Diploma
After final assembly, each TRUTH B2030A monitor spends up to a half hour with a calibration engineer meticulously tweaking
it to ensure ultra-linear frequency response.
When you buy a Behringer TRUTH B2030A monitor, you're truly getting a
hand-calibrated speaker. Behringer ships a calibration certificate with each B2030A that shows the actual frequency response
of your monitor as tested at the time of manufacture. After all these rigorous tests, only then is the speaker granted its
own graduation diploma.
Rock-Solid Bass
Bookshelf-style home stereo speakers can really fool you when it comes to bass output, mainly because they are not designed
for critical listening applications. That's why recording engineers and producers listen to projects through studio reference
monitors or studio-grade headphones. The B2030A's long-throw 6.75" polypropylene-diaphragm woofer delivers smooth, deep bass
all the way down to 50 Hz. Bass content that isn't exaggerated, as it can be in home speaker systems. Rock-solid bass that
is an honest representation of the recorded sound, full of subtle nuance; the sound of fingers on the strings, or the rush
of air through the long pipes of a cathedral organ, etc.
Why the Polypropylene Woofer?
Polypropylene is light and strong, enabling the speaker cone to respond very quickly to fast transient peaks. This low-mass
cone material is also much stiffer than paper, important for not only maintaining bass content integrity, but critical for
midrange accuracy and definition. The deformation-resistant aluminum die-cast chassis maintains suspension integrity and provides
highly efficient voice-coil cooling, even under extreme operating conditions.
Non-Fatiguing, Wide "Sweet Spot"
The Behringer TRUTH B2030A monitor's HF (High Frequency) content comes courtesy of an ultra high-resolution 1.0" ferrofluid-cooled
tweeter mounted on Behringer's proprietary wave-guide. While some of Behringer's competitor's studio monitors have a highly
focused "sweet spot" (the optimal listening position for a pair of loudspeakers), Behringer's wave-guide is designed to create
a much more generous, broader listening zone. That means you won't wear a hole in the carpet in that one spot where everything
sounds great. You are free to move around inside the stereo image to find the ideal spot in the mix for subtle instrument
or effects placement opportunities.
You also won't suffer the ravages of "monitor fatigue-syndrome," an ailment that
comes from listening to harsh high-mids and treble content for hours on end, even during those all-night mix-down sessions
that can really test your nerves.
Expect the Best
Behringer packed 115-Watts of bi-amped technology (including a time- and phase-optimized active crossover) into every B2030A,
ensuring that you have the enormous power reserves you'll need to drive them really hard. The unique BEHRINGER wave-guide
and the extremely low-distortion crossover network produce an absolutely linear frequency response with excellent sound dispersion
and stereo imaging.
Designed to Work in Your Environment
The ideal environment for listening is a room that is "flat," neither too reflective (echoes) nor too absorptive (where the
sound is muffled). But since all rooms are not the same acoustically, all TRUTH monitors come equipped to function in a wide
variety of situations. Switches are provided to adapt the monitor's low- and high-frequency characteristics for optimal performance
specific to your listening environment.
Suited for All Placements
Ideally, all loudspeakers should be placed away from walls to ensure proper bass response. But fear not, B2030A monitors feature
Room Compensation switches so you can place them against walls, or even in corners. Walls tend to enhance low-frequency content,
and corners exaggerate bass even more, but your TRUTH monitor can be custom-tailored to provide honest bass response for your
situation, with the simple flick of a switch or two.
XLR and 1/4" Inputs
The B3030A is equipped with servo-balanced inputs on XLR and ¼" TRS connectors to handle a variety of audio sources.
Thanks to its compact size and magnetic shielding, the TRUTH B3030A can be placed near video monitors, computer displays or
digital audio workstations
