Behringer B205D 4-stars Reviews

Great little monitor

These monitors are great for up close clear foldback. A little tinny but they do the job brillianty - also handy that you can turn them up/down independant of PA operator.

Good monitor for no money

I have purchased two of these monitors. At first I wanted to buy Mackies that look just the same but the price is much higher. Then I saw these and thought I give it a shot. I heard from the guy who runs the sound hiring company that they tested both Behringer and Mackies and they didn't hear any difference in sound quality. However I can hear clearly the difference between those two Behringer I bought. The one of them has less pronounced treble/high end. It is very strange but they don't sound the same. The second thing I could complain about is that there is no way these guys can deliver 150 watts. I would say it sounds more like 20 or 25 watts to my ears but then again I am a guitar player and my watts are tube watts. Another thing is the power cable. The power cable that came with the monitors is a joke. It is not even enough to the floor when monitor is mounted on a mic stand. You should get another longer cable. Beside these small things I think that B205D is still a very good puppy for no money and it works in many situations, from just pluging your guitar in and play in bedroom to smaller events in pubs when combined with one 15" speaker. The sound is very middle oriented but the size/weight and mounting ability is just amazing. If you play at small venues or need a nice little toy for your home this is a go.

Behringer B205d

A great product,small,but powerful,with various mounting options.

Sounds loud

No problem hearing myself playing keyboard with this sat on my e-piano. The other band members thought it was very versatile and neat and so this should get a lot of use.

Good alternative to wedge monitors

I never really got on with floor (wedge) monitors; in my band we don't often have the luxury of a front of house sound engineer and so have to do monitoring ourselves. These are good because they can be mounted on the mic stand (although we use them on separate short stands because they can be positioned better), and the user has access to volume and basic EQ functions.

Being closer to your ears also means that the onstage sound is tighter because there is less overall sound washing about into the microphones. The sound is ok without being spectacular, but they cannot be faulted for value for money.

There are a total of three inputs so the B205D could even act as a micro-PA system for a solo performer in a small performance area, with microphone, guitar and backing track all having their own inputs. It's a versatile piece of equipment.
