SOUNDS

The picture is exellent stréréo!
The sound is clear and accurate throughout the whole.
Curve fréquenses good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for one month and do not regret my purchase.
The quality / price appealed to me compared to other models heard.
For my choice we went a whole day for me and my guys to hear several models, krk, Tapco, m-audio, emu, yamaha.Et of HS50 is the sharpness of the sound and precision that have made my choice .

And I think that many people rely on the monitor at HIS NAME!!

Does everything said.

SOUNDS

These are my first wall. now has 3 or 4 years that I use. Placement is important, overall it is good. The stereo image is correct, the dynamics are excellent. I now find over time that it lacks precision particularly in the lower spectrum. there are low, but there too and above all they drool a bit, it's a bit messy, there may be some surprises in the mix.

OVERALL OPINION

Report quality unbeatable price, I have not had a problem with since purchase (as a friend). finishes are "behringer" (on a wall plating sags a bit and you see a timber), or no problem. Today with the GST and a little more money I'll try the ct from Yamaha or above.

Characteristics, they know almost all, if not, just look at AF ... The use was intended to pre-listen to these speakers was principal of a home studio, and all without amps of course, the latter being active.

Beware though, the speakers are relatively sensitive to ground loop (electrical problem for the unfamiliar) was quick to hear the mouse moving, scraping hard drives, moving fader). So word of advice from experience, do not hesitate to plug into a circuit different from that of the computer or console, it avoids many problems, and it's worth listening to many elsewhere .. .

SOUNDS

It's quite difficult to answer this kind of test, because of the complexity of a "sound". It all depends on the room's acoustic treatment, support for pregnant women, their positioning, the presence of various materials in the room, etc ... So I decided to compare in the same room (Régie du studio where I work) with these speakers JBL4333, Mackie HR824 and Yam NS10. What emerges mainly, this is noticed by blurring a lot of people in the low end, that I lead from 120 to 230Hz. The rest of the spectrum appears to be relatively well balanced even though it seems there is a bump at the very high frequencies (17 to 20kHz). No doubt that Behringer wanted to bring shine to her pregnant. The idea is not bad in either, although one suspects that such frequencies, only certain harmonics can benefit.

The stereo image is good no more.

Dynamic level, no specific problem either, the speakers keep the same level of accuracy at low or high listening, this being probably due to the power output of the woofer (compared to the 2030A by the same manufacturer), but ca 2031 feet does not break a duck ...

OVERALL OPINION

Well, let us put things in their respective scales, compared to 4333 is obviously a little faiblarre, but it seems obvious. The NS10 has the advantage of being very accurate at mid and upper midrange (more efficient engines), it is also what makes these renowned speakers. Where the comparison is interesting, it's 824 deal with, because despite the hundreds of dollars more, they do not sound that crushes the 2031. The only advantage they have is to be much clearer in the lower frequency. However, you have four speakers for a 2031 824 in price. Clearly, one of the two is not worth its value. And to be honest, I think Behringer is not much quality and that are 824 surcotées

In conclusion, I think the monitor speakers are rather intended for home studio with a reasonable budget. This is probably one of the best quality / price ratio of current monitoring systems. NS10 and accompanied by switching from one to another, one can hope to achieve good results at mixing.

Active, used to the mix and mastering.
motivation: the quality / price!

SOUNDS

I have for some weeks, I am truly impressed with their report.
I hesitated a long time given the very negative comments left by some disgruntled users. I note that these are apparently the unfortunate who fell on faults.
For me, the ones I just bought sound far beyond what I expected.
Sound very clear especially in the treble and upper midrange, I can not find the blur in the lower medium described by some (note: a blur in the lower medium is often the characteristics of the piece where you are. To proof, if you encounter this problem, try the open air for you to judge on your speakers and not your local ...)
The big surprise comes from their ability to get in the spectrum, I think, well below 50 Hz indicated by the manufacturer. We arrive fully working on what is going low.

OVERALL OPINION

My points of comparison are the Yamaha NS10, the LX600 JBL.
I find the manner of a precise NS10, but fortunately they go down much lower, and extremely neutral and more accurate than the LX600 that I keep listening to nonetheless more "hifi".
The value for money is excellent, I would do this choice without hesitation.

My choice was motivated by the quality of these speakers, my tight budget and the reviews on AF.
I write rap hiphop protools on August 1 and Pattern kquelques plug .....

SOUNDS

I'm not a pro and they are my first monitors, I find them perfect, very good stereo image, the sound is clear and precise, he and my potatoes do not mix too has ignited in a real studio pro.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for about 6 years, I bought them after the advice of AF long ago (yes at least 6 years € 550) today and it works perfectly.
up aujourdui do not regret at all my achat.si I want to move on because I realize that these walls are too powerful for my small room (150W).
I will try the HS50M

Well ... it is the Truth B2031! There's only read the doc on Behringer's site ...
For a home studio, the ideal power.

SOUNDS

I personally like a lot: when listening to his CD, in comparison with hi-fi speakers, same quality, we are surprised by the accuracy and fidelity.

Difficult to judge objectively with only a pair of ears as a measuring instrument, but if that's a curve "flat" is impeccable!

OVERALL OPINION

Used for four months.
What I like most (after quite long sought the right position!): Presence, accuracy and stereo pan. To mix is fantastic!
Only (very small) drawback: the switches on the back. But it's classic on monitors ...

I compared with Dynaudio BM6A: a little more serious than Dynaudio mids a little less clear, but I paid the pair at the 3500 F-F instead of 12000 for Dynaudio ... (It was still 2001, when the Franks).

I would do immediately that choice and can only recommend it!

2-way speakers, 150W for amplified bass and treble to 75, one is deaf before clips!
Connectors: XLR and TRS
full frameworks slide to the rear to compensate for the positioning
They weigh!

SOUNDS

The frequency curve is extra
The sound is clear and precise, without noticeable coloration vraimant
The dynamic is amazing, it even has sub!
I am disgusted when I listen to my old mixes! Before I had

OVERALL OPINION

KRK Rockit monitors I have now!
Without thinking, if you have 5000 ff, buys the TRUTH, and laugh when your friends make a loan to equip their studios!
There is no contest, Behringer still hit hard with it!

For the money ($300 USD) these have everything you need, the bass and treble cutoffs can be set to sound good in almost any studio environment, and i love the auto shutoff option no more on /off when you leave the studio, these shut themselves off, and then when a sound is played the automatically come back on. with the amp on the back they weigh a bit and if you pump em with out isolation they WILL rattle yourwhole spot i put AURALEX monitor isolators underneath mine

Price paid

$300 USD

SOUNDS

The sound quality of the behringer is very solid the bottom end is thick even at high volumes,the highs are a bit crispy sometimes, but this can be compensated for by the crossover switches on the back of the monitors. there is a superb wide sweet spot when your directly in front of the monitors (mine are about 4 to 5 feet in front of me depending on where im sitting). i really couldnt find a weak point in these monitors i have 2 pair both are crossed over differently, so i can hear every little blip pop or thud , i give them overall a 9 would be perfect with a tighter bass response and a bit more power handling capability but for a studio on a budget these cant be beat.

OVERALL OPINION

The useability ...a caveman could use em =) they come with 1/4" sound cables and power cords..basically there plug and play ( i would recommend setting the cutoffs to your set up for maximun sound quality )

i have pumped these into oblivion playd em til the limit light was glowing red (just to see ) and they sustained beautifull i control mine with a tascam US-428, these monitors are straight hard if you blow em your just a destructive ass or deaf..or both .. i have yet to have one problem out of either set of mine!

after having a set of edirol's near field monitors that were passive to go to these was a real joy. i fell in love with mine the moment i heard a hard bass drop from one of my mixes, they sound great, there reliable, and there affordable .. nuff said

Like i said lots of cut offs (high mid, low) also sub and tweeter mute plus volume levels/ lots of punchy sound and bass to keep your body feelin it. oh an there powered gotta love that.

Price paid: $330.00 USD

SOUNDS

Ok i've had em for a bit now and i have to say FOR THE MONEY the sound is great . large true bass, treble not to harsh.... lots of control via the cutoff's and level knob. i had em pushing some boom bap beats really hard last night and noticed very little artifacts in the sound. my mixes have been much more acurate since getting these.. wich is honestly the whole point right? again for the moneyi would say they prolly won't be beat.... big and i mean big sound. so if you like to get ruckous in your studio i say there great.

OVERALL OPINION

There speakers if you can't use that then get out the game beotch lol..... just plug an play (maybe flick a few cut offs.

they sit on my shelf..... been holding up to my beats so i say good. plus the cabinets feel really sturdy.

honestly i've done a few songs start to finish on them now and they have made my mixes one time mixes acurate! so thats all i can say ok. and i love the trueness of the bass.

I do not own these speakers, but I have mixed on them before. My friend's home studio is equipped with a pair of these budget active monitors as his main reference pair. While they do sound better than your average pair of computer speakers, the sound quality is really not very good. I mixed on them for one day before deciding it was worth it to pack up a pair of my own monitors and bring them over rather than having to use this pair. No amp needed since these are active - the amp is inside.

SOUNDS

The response curve is not very neutral. It sounds to me like there is a big spike around 4 and 5k, and the of course the low bass is not well represented. I am pretty sure that somehow I was getting a delay in one of the speakers of maybe 1 or 2ms, something that was just enough to mess up and tilt the stereo image. That makes me think that these monitors are pretty poorly crafted. So there you have hyped mids, weak bass, and a smeared image. This pair really doesn't do well in the sounds category. The dynamics are hard to judge because of the bit of smearing that goes on, so I guess I'd have to go with they are lousy.

OVERALL OPINION

I used these for many hours of mixing, and hope to never have to again. I really felt like I couldn't accurately judge what I was listening to. Obviously a good point on these speakers is the very low cost. These are some of the cheapest "studio monitors" you can get. However you definitely don't get a lot of quality for your money. I would really recommend to anyone going for their first pair of monitors to maybe get a pair of the KRK RP5's or something as a cheap alternative. Those don't sound that great either, but they're a lot better than these. I wouldn't recommend these.
