EUROLIVE B115MP3 and B112MP3
active loudspeakers are exactly what
you’ve come to expect from BEHRINGER—
more power, more features and absolutely
more aordable! Our engineers have
really outdone themselves, creating two
self-contained PA solutions that merge
state-of-the-art, 1,000-Watt Class-D
power amp technology, built-in wireless
microphone capability and exceptional
portability. These professional active
loudspeakers are destined to become
legends in its own right, alongside
the other EUROLIVE models that have
made BEHRINGER the world leader in
active loudspeakers.

Cut the Fat; Keep the Beef

We drew from our considerable
experience to build these performance­grade loudspeakers and made them
lighter (B115MP3: 38.9lbs./17.7kg;
B112MP3: 27.6 lbs./12.5 kg)

andmorepowerful. We started with
custom-engineered Class-D power
amps for the ultimate in low-distortion
power and eciency. Backed by SMPS
(Switch Mode Power Supply) technology,
the high-tech alternative to heavy
transformers and massive heat sinks,
these loudspeakers can run cool all day
and all night without even breaking
asweat!

Onboard MP3 Player

One of the coolest features on these
loudspeakers is their fully addressable,
embedded MP3 player. The 8-button
user interface and high-contrast,
multi-function LCD panel let you instantly
browse tracks and enable shue,
repeator single-play modes. From break
and background music to high-resolution
performance tracks, this full-feature MP3
player can handle it all.

Until now, adding wireless microphones
to a PA system meant either a mess of wires
and dangling receivers or worse, a built-in
receiver with dodgy performance and a
hefty price tag. Those days are ocially
over thanks to BEHRINGER ULTRALINK USB
Wireless mics that feature our exclusive,
ultra-compact 2-channel receiver. Just plug
the receiver into the dedicated wireless
port on the rear panel and you have full
access to two channels of supremely stable,
natural-sounding wireless connectivity.
Soldseparately and available in hand-held
or headset models, BEHRINGER ULTRALINK
USB Wireless mics will immediately
(and inexpensively) expandyour
B115MP3/ B112MP3 to handle virtually any
live sound application.

Built-in Mixing Capability

The integrated mixer features the
same ultra low-noise, high-headroom
mic preamps that have made BEHRINGER
mixers legendary, and the two inputs accept
virtually any mic/line level signal you’re likely
to run across. Variable Input gain controls
(with Clip LED) will have you dialing in the
perfect level every time. Just plug in a mic,
along with a guitar/piano, connect your
backing tracks via USB stick and let the
show begin. And if you need more coverage,
usethe convenient Link Output XLR
connector to add more active loudspeakers.

every other element for truly professional
results. B115MP3 and B112MP3 active
speaker systems crank out massive
quantities of low end, with articulate,
detailed mids and crystal-clear highs.

Extraordinarily Versatile

Thanks to its trapezoidal shape,
the B115MP3 and B112MP3 are suitable
for a wide variety of applications.
They can be mounted on standard
speaker poles, placed vertically atop
subwoofers, orevenlaid on their side
for use as onstage monitor wedges.
Theirextraordinary delity and frequency
response make them a favorite of
vocalists and instrumentalists alike.
Hook up is simple, requiring only a single

Which Speaker Should I Buy?

Well, let's start with your application…
are you giving a speech in a hotel
ballroom—or rocking out at the local bar
or dance club? Whether to choose one
speaker cabinet over another depends on
your bass requirements. A 15" woofer has
about 40% more surface area with which
to move air than a 12" and that translates
into more bass. So if you're addressing
a small meeting, or jamming at the
coee house, theB112MP3 might be all
you'll ever need. But if you're providing

There is absolutely no substitute for
amplier power in high-performance
loudspeakers; the kind of power it takes
to deliver clean, in-your-face vocals
and chest-thumping bass day in and
day out. That’s why we gave these
bad boys 1000-Watts of bi-amplied,
digitallyprocessed output power. But with
great power comes great responsibility,
soour engineers included a proprietary
DSP(DigitalSignal Processor) withhigh-end
features such as a dual-band EQ, an active
crossover, dual protection limiters and
transducer response correction,
ensuringthese loudspeakers deliver
incredible output at the lowest possible
distortion levels.

Custom-Engineered Transducers

Powerful, high-eciency Class-D
ampliers and Switch Mode Power Supply
technology coupled with state-of-the-art
DSP functionality sure sounds impressive—
but what about the part of the system you
actually hear? We never cut corners on
our transducers (woofers and tweeters),
and we never just pull what we have o
the shelf. OurLF (Low Frequency) and
HF(HighFrequency) transducers are
designed specically for each application—
it’s what sets us apart from the competition.
Whenyou buy a BEHRINGER active
loudspeaker, you can rest assured that the
transducers inside have been engineered
to perform awlessly in conjunction with
