BEHRINGER is proud to incorporate custom-engineered KLARK TEKNIK Class-D ampli er and

DSP – Secret to Superb Sound

From the instant your signal enters the B12X, the built-in KLARK TEKNIK DSP takes over
ensuring the highest possible signal integrity. Much more than just selective EQ enhancement,
the 24-bit processor analyses the incoming signal and intelligently applies speci c  lters to
actually improve the sound quality. It’s like having an audio engineer monitoring the input
and output signals, dialing in the perfect EQ and constantly making subtle adjustments to
the crossover, compressor/limiter and more – all of which adds up to signi cantly better sound.

Class-D - Massive Power, Perfect Sound

Thanks to our revolutionary Class-D ampli er technology, we are able to provide you with enormous
power and incredible sonic performance in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable and lightweight package.
Class-D ampli cation makes all the di erence, o ering the ultimate in energy e ciency and
eliminating the need for heavy power supplies and massive heat sinks. This amazing technology
makes it possible to design and build extremely powerful products that are signi cantly lighter in
weight than their traditional counterparts, while using less energy and protecting the environment.

Bi-Ampli cation - The Path to Absolute Signal Integrity

With its 1000 ultra-clean Watts of digital output delivered through separately-powered drivers,
courtesy of true bi-amping (2 ampli ers per speaker system), the B12X delivers high-resolution
sound that really brings out the best in your music. While some of our competitors apply
simple passive crossovers, which inaccurately separates the frequency spectrum and degrade
driver performance, BEHRINGER has gone the extra mile – driving each woofer and tweeter with
a separate ampli er for absolute signal integrity.

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 the
transducers inside have been engineered to perform  awlessly with every other element for truly
professional results. The B12X cranks out massive quantities of low end, with articulate,
detailed mids and crystal-clear highs.

Extraordinarily Versatile

Thanks to its trapezoidal shape, the B12X is suitable for a wide variety of applications, such as
mounting on standard speaker poles, vertical placement atop subwoofers, or even laid on the side
for use as onstage monitor wedges. The B12X’s extraordinary  delity and frequency response make
it a favorite of public speakers, vocalists and instrumentalists alike. Hookup is simple, requiring only a
single XLR or ¼ " cable from your mixing console and power – and if you’re just streaming Bluetooth,
it's even easier. Additional active loudspeakers can be chained together via the XLR Link Output jack
on the rear panel.

Which Speaker Should I Buy?

Well, let’s start with your application… are you giving a speech at the company picnic – 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 B12X might be all you’ll ever need. But if you’re providing disco in a busy
nightclub, hosting jam night in your party room, or just need to crank it up louder, then a pair of
B15Xs may be a better choice.

Sound Value

The BEHRINGER B12X stands head and shoulders above the rest of the pack and delivers
exceptional performance, even when pushed to the limit. Lightweight and powerful, with
built-in wireless connectivity, KLARK TEKNIK DSP, Bluetooth streaming, 1000-Watt bi-ampli ed
Class-D power and custom-designed transducers, the B12X active loudspeaker is ideal for
both speech and music applications – at a price that is unheard of in this class.

Experience the B12X at your local dealer today, or get yours online, and  nd out why more and
more professionals are turning to BEHRINGER EUROLIVE Series active loudspeakers for their
superb performance and extraordinary value.
