B205D : Behringer monitor

13 years ago

We use two 12 inch foldbacks and I wanted a little extra one just for me. Does the job very well. All the inputs are straightforward. Given its size it delivers an excellent sound and plenty of it. We now posiiton it to point at me and the drummer and we both get enough through it to make it a thoroughly worthwhile extra. I do not ask our sound engineer for a third monitor mix - I just loop it out of one of the main ( active ) monitors.

There is a button called "instrument" which is to optimise channel 1 for unbalanced signals which is pretty irrelevat for us. Tried it at home and it did not seem to make much difference. I have not tried rigging it up with the accessory that allows a boom arm to be added to the mic stand. I just pop it on a mic stand base and that works fine.

Good points - sounds better than I expected, does what it says on the tin, has not let us down

Bad points - none

Be realistic - this has a 5.25" speaker - unlikely to fully capture Jaco Pastorius bass solos at high volumes without a bit of distortion. For the size, superb.
