Behringer Eurolive B215D 550W 15 Powered Speaker for Professionals

Active 550-Watt 2-Way PA Speaker System Featuring a 15" Woofer and 1.35" Compression Driver

The EUROLIVE D Series loudspeakers utilize innovative Class-D amplifier technology alongside internal switch-mode power supplies, offering an impressive power-to-weight ratio that significantly surpasses competing active speakers. Essentially, you gain exceptional audio power without the cumbersome weight. Moreover, the sound quality of these lightweight systems outshines our popular EUROLIVE B212A and B215A offerings, which are complemented by two 200-Watt models: the B210D (10") and B208D (8") for less intensive uses. Designed for high efficiency, these loudspeakers deliver an astonishing 550/200 Watts of clean, powerful audio, ensuring an unparalleled audio experience from a compact system.

An integrated sound processor offers comprehensive system management and reliably protects the LF and HF transducers through a built-in active high-pass filter, which nearly eliminates distortion even at high operational volumes. Additionally, all four models boast an Ultra-Low Noise (ULN) Mic/Line input, equipped with LEVEL control and a dedicated 2-band EQ (bass and treble) for seamless sound adjustments.

One of the standout features of active loudspeakers is the absence of heavy racks of amplifiers, crossovers, and EQs typically necessary for passive systems to achieve similar sound quality. While conventional systems might be heavy, making them hard for a single person to manage, BEHRINGER’s D Series "Intelligent-Design" fuses the best elements of active speakers with a significantly lower weight by integrating switch-mode power supplies and Class-D amplifier technology. Housed within each cabinet are functionalities such as an active 2-way electronic crossover, graphic EQ, parametric EQ, mic preamp, limiter, and dual Class-D power amplifiers, all while maintaining an overall weight less than typical speakers. These components collaborate effortlessly to deliver superb sound quality without any manual intervention required from the user.

Class D amplifiers function differently than their Class AB counterparts, operating by switching on and off thousands of times per second, delivering power only when necessary. This approach minimizes power loss, since the amplifier operates either fully on or off. Although theoretically simple, the practical application of Class D technology can be complex, which is why various designs exist. BEHRINGER’s dedicated RD Department has spent years refining our Class D approach, ensuring all the advantages of reduced weight and efficient cooling while mitigating potential downsides like quantizing errors.

By utilizing switching-mode power supplies instead of bulky transformers, our designs yield a more dynamic audio response and enhanced efficiency, resulting in smaller, cooler running systems. As a result, the D Series loudspeakers are lightweight and easily transportable, while providing full power and remarkable fidelity throughout extended use.

Setting up an instant sound system is a breeze with a single D Series loudspeaker and a microphone or MP3 player. Simply connect a dynamic mic, adjust the volume using the Level control, plug in your sound source, and power it up. For expanded coverage, the convenient LINK OUTPUT XLR connector allows you to add more active loudspeakers effortlessly.

If desired, you can even connect two D Series enclosures for stereo playback of your audio source, making it perfect for parties or events. The trapezoidal cabinet design enables placement on its side, providing a suitable angle for onstage monitor applications, requiring only a single XLR or 1/4" cable for setup.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our transducers. Unlike competitors who may opt for off-the-shelf solutions, we meticulously custom-design our components, including voice coils and cone materials. This attention to detail ensures that every D Series enclosure features robust LF transducers and state-of-the-art 1.35" compression drivers that produce high-fidelity sound.

With an emphasis on low-frequency handling, our tuned port design and injection-molded enclosures enable powerful bass output. Regardless of the sonic demands—whether it's a rock concert or a spoken word event—these loudspeakers deliver accurate, natural sound, making them unparalleled choices for musicians and audiophiles alike.

To maximize output without compromising sound quality, the D Series features dynamic processing circuitry that automatically prioritizes audio content. This ensures that loudspeakers can perform at extreme levels without distortion, allowing for an enhanced audio experience.

At the core of each EUROLIVE D Series loudspeaker are high-current amplifiers delivering 550 Watts for B212D/B215D and 200 Watts for B210D/B208D, ensuring distortion-free sound at maximum output. When choosing between our four woofer sizes, consider your application needs: from intimate settings to large venues, selecting the appropriate speaker based on bass requirements is crucial. For guidance and listening tests, consulting your BEHRINGER dealer can provide invaluable input.

Each speaker is equipped with integrated pole mounts and built-in LF/HF protection, along with an internal switch-mode power supply that ensures noise-free audio and exceptional transient response while maintaining low power consumption. This ensures that the EUROLIVE D Series not only meets but exceeds expectations in versatile sound performance.
