Behringer B2030A Truth Active Studio Monitor Single
The Behringer B2030A Truth Active Studio Monitor features a bi-amplified designed with a 6.75″ long-throw woofer and a 0.75″ ferrofluid-cooled tweeter. The rear panel offers low frequency high frequency and room compensation controls that allow you to tailor the B2030As performance to suit any acoustic environment. Delivering accurate audio reproduction with accurate bass and crystal-clear highs the B2030A is perfect for studio mixing mastering and playback.

Built on a Legacy The TRUTH B2030A has all the great features of a standard-sized active TRUTH monitor packed into an even more compact cabinet! Due to their high-resolution performance B2030A active 2-way reference studio monitors are perfect for nearfield monitoring applications: from small mixing environments to multi-channel surround setups.

Dont 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.

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. Thats why recording engineers and producers listen to projects through studio reference monitors or studio-grade headphones. The B2030As long-throw 6.75″ polypropylene-diaphragm woofer delivers smooth deep bass all the way down to 50 Hz. Bass content that isnt 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 aluminium die-cast chassis maintains suspension integrity and provides highly efficient voice-coil cooling even under extreme operating conditions.

Non-Fatiguing Wide “Sweet Spot” B2030As HF (High Frequency) content comes courtesy of an ultra high-resolution 0.75″ ferrofluid-cooled tweeter mounted on Behringers proprietary wave-guide. While some competitors studio monitors have a highly focused “sweet spot” (the optimal listening position for a pair of loudspeakers) Behringers wave-guide is designed to create a much more generous broader listening zone. That means you wont 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 wont 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-optimised active crossover) into every B2030A ensuring that you have the enormous power reserves youll 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 monitors 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 B2030A is equipped with servo-balanced inputs on XLR and 1/4″ TRS connectors to handle a variety of audio sources. Thanks to its compact size and magnetic shielding the TRUTH B2030A can be placed near video monitors computer displays or digital audio workstations.
