Behringer B205D 4-stars Reviews

Does the job

Got this as a monitor for my one man show. My PA is the LD Maui system which does feed back at close quarters. I have many Behringer products which are good, especially for the price, but can have small issues (nothing serious). This monitor is perfect sitting on a mic stand using the fun generation CL105 stand adapter.

Quite loud for it's small size but you can tell it is being forced a bit

Like I said on the title.loud enough for small gigs and rehearsal areas.but very small ,I expected it much larger from the photos on the site.I can tell is being forced to produce loud sounds.it has clear sound and does not distort that much when you put more than one things.but close to max the sound being distorted a bit.It is sad it does not have a reverb effect.price should be a bit less for the size it has.

Active Monitor

Very good quality active monitor, however, It would be nice if it would have reverb effects.

Good sound reinforcement

Easy and straightforward to use, good sound for small speaker and good for personal sound reinforcement.

Nice speaker

Purchased it recently in support of teaching kids to DJ'ing skills.

Received extra power cord as a gift, pleasant.

Using it in our flat, exactly in hall on the floor and pretty much impressed with small size of it and loudness. Neighbors appreciated our musical taste and were noted volume of the speaker during testing.

I am satisfied with quality and options included in this speaker (1 CD in port and 2 more mic/line ports with full range equalizer) enough for our needs.

Detail to improve in next models is to add indication of loudness.

It is not one for those who looking for deep low frequencies.

Good value

Excellent little powered speaker, solid construction. Comes with mic stand top adaptor to allow close placement to ears. Suprisingly loud but would suggest using a high pass filter on the send to prevent any very low frequencies getting through to the driver. Have purchased 4 so far with no problems.

Cool & Compact

Great piece of equipment, would recommend highly for formulating musical ideas with others before hitting the stage or studio...

monitor for all your needs

Love that I can put this monitor on a stand when playing I can hear everything clearly. My band mate can run his monitor off the signal from my Monitor. I don't leave home without it. Only con the volume knob when turned up half way or over can turn up on its own from the vibration on stage.

Great little PA.

Great so far. Comparable to the Mackie product but cheaper. I hope it lasts longer than the 10 months I got from the Mackie!

Behringer B205D

The Behringer B205D is a good foldback monitor. I was a bit unsure about buying it as i normally use floor wedges for the bands i work with. However I needed something small and raised of the floor for a 22 piece Jazz band I am currently working with. The sound quality is Good and it is easy to work with. I have given the quality an okay star rating as one of mine had a fault on its second outing and is currently being repaired under warranty and i am not sure whether it is just a one off fault or something that may happen with my other monitors. Overall i think it is a decent monitor.

Behringer B205D

A compact and robust unit that outputs plenty of volume. I use it for fold back and as long as it is positioned with care relative to the user, will give you a good reference to the sound you are making out front. Weight of sound not like using a larger wedge monitor but that is to be expected.

Good for its price

I use this mounted on my mic stand ( I sing lead vocals) in parallel with a floor monitor. Works fine - as the lower frequencies are handle by the much larger floor unit. Having only the B205D might be a little weak. And don't even consider using it further away than 1.5 m from you

Good little monitor

The B205D was bought because we needed a quick replacement for a similar looking monitor which had died on a gig. We were all pleasantly surprised at the quality of sound and the very solid build of the unit. For the price it is most definitely worth it.

Any subtle differences between the 2 units are lost when you are standing next the drummer in a sweaty club and all you want is to hear yourself. Would I buy again, yes. Would I recommend, yes no problem.

Little Wonder

In an attempt to cut down on Gig equipment size and weight I have decided to take a chance on this little speaker with big credentials. I'm using a Laney full size wedge monitor (300w) (approx25kg) which has served me well but I thought if this little rebel could give me adequate close range monitoring, I could dispense with one more

heavy lift at Gigs. Its not so much the Weight of equipment, it's trying to lift it over peoples heads after a gig(this is what causes back problems). Its working very well so far and the rest of the Boys in the Band are starting to be swayed by the little monster!! Cheers S.

decent!

Wanted a small monitor, they are ok, nice and portable, and work in a live band situation. there is a trade off in the size of speaker, but if you're looking for something small to mount on a mic stand or amp for monitoring in a pub band they're good enough.

Very compfortable to transfer

Perfect tool for own home listening. Transfer at once. Great featuring materials for handling and ./ or supporting. Fair sound.

Behringe B205D

I bought the B205D to use as a stage monitor, but I cant get to work as a monitor. I works fine as an amp with good sound & good features. I only use it now as a practice amp.I wouldn't recommend it as on stage monitor. Which is a pity because it's so light & portable. Overall the sound is very good & it has got good features.

What a find!

These makes excellent Monitors - we have used them on stage as they take up a fraction of the floor space a traditional monitor takes up and also have the option of being stand mounted either on their own stand or on a microphone stand with the microphone above. Being able to easily adjust the monitor's volume without having to ask the guy on the mixing desk is such an easy option. The sound quality is great from such a small speaker. Again with Behringer you get a lot for your money.

Low budget good monitor for gigging musician

The Behringer B205D has more features than you really need and for its price and quality it is a good deal!

In my case I use it as a keyboard and vocal monitor for myself in two rock bands. The unit has been unbreakable when going back and forward to gigs and rehearsal rooms without using any bags or any protection. I can't say any bad word about the controls or the layout of the monitor. The front face is well designed.

However, there are two problems when using it with mic stands. First, in the bottom of the monitor there is a hole for a custom attachment plug which is screwed on a mic stand. There is no tight locking and it feels flimsy. Second, on top of the monitor there is a screw mechanism for a mic stand boom. You can not adjust it sideways and lock it!

The unit has plenty of volume, but bass distorts at high levels. The sound in general is more about middle frequencies, which is ok for monitoring.

Despite of its shortcomings the Behringer B205D works well in professional work. It got good reviews also in a Finnish pro audio magazine. I recommend!

good little bit of kit

Not bad for low level monitoring, I used 2 in stereo for monitoring keys on stage,worked remarkably well for such a small speaker.
