Behringer Truth B1031a 8 Powered Studio Monitor (Each)

When it comes to your studio recordings, you want honesty. In fact, considering how important your art is, you should demand it. That's why Behringer designed the B1031A Reference monitors to speak nothing but the TRUTH.Built on a LegacyBehringer monitors have been wildly successful. Ask any recording engineer and they will tell you that listening to a recording on just a single set of monitors doesn't always paint an accurate picture of the mix. Since people listen to music at home, in their cars, on MP3 players, etc., it is critical your final mix be heard on as many sizes and types of speakers as possible. That's the reason Behringer created these smaller B1031A monitors, plus they make ideal rear channel speakers for surround sound applications.Years of R'n'DFor the past three years the Research and Development team at Behringer has been on a mission to create the "perfect" studio monitor. Their acoustic engineers tried a variety of transducers and enclosure designs, along with existing and emerging technologies. When all the dust settled, they chose to deploy an ultra-high resolution 1" dome tweeter and a long-throw 8" Kevlar-coned woofer in the B1031A.Why Kevlar?Kevlar has an incredible strength-to-weight ratiothat's one reason it's used in bulletproof vests. Kevlar gives these LF transducers the strength to handle the extremely high energy levels required for distortion-free, chest-pounding bass. And since they have such low mass, Kevlar speaker cones also respond much more quickly than those made of paper, important for not only maintaining bass content integrity, but critical for midrange accuracy and definition. These Kevlar transducers reproduce even the subtlest nuance of the low-frequency realm without muddying the midrange.Power to the PeopleIt takes quite a bit more than just a "bulletproof" woofer and a high-tech tweeter stuck inside aUltra-linear studio monitor with true active designPrecision Class A/B amplifiers with active protection circuits: 100W for LF/50W for HFUltra-high resolution 1" silk dome tweeter for ultimate sound reproductionLong-throw 8" woofer with deformation-resistant Kevlar cone for ultimate bass responseUltimate dispersion characteristics and extremely large "sweet spot"High-precision crossover network with 4th order Linkwitz-Riley filters
