Our TRUTH B3031A monitors have
been so wildly successful, that we’ve
sold thousands upon thousands of
them to some of the most critical
ears on the planet. Due to their high-
resolution performance, B3031A
active 2-way reference studio
monitors are perfect for near- eld
monitoring applications – from
small mixing environments to multi-
channel surround setups.
When it comes to your studio recordings, you want honesty. In fact,
considering how important your art is, you should demand it! That’s why we
designed the B3031A Active 2-Way Reference Monitor to speak nothing but
the TRUTH. The B3031A boasts big power, 285 Watts of bi-ampli ed output
to an ultra-responsive, long-throw 8.75" Kevlar woofer, which provides
“bullet-proof” tight and accurate bass – and a high-resolution 2" velocity
ribbon transducer for crystal-clear highs. And although it was designed
for the studio, where every note you play or sing is always “under the
microscope”, the B3031A makes an absolutely fantastic addition to your
stereo or video surround system!

Bi-Ampli cation - The Path to
Absolute Signal Integrity
With its 285 ultra-clean Watts of output through separately-powered drivers,
courtesy of true bi-amping (2 ampli ers per speaker system), the B3031A
delivers high-resolution sound that really brings out the best in your
music. While some of our competitors apply simple passive crossovers,
which inaccurately separate the frequency spectrum and degrade driver
performance, BEHRINGER has gone the extra mile – driving each woofer and
tweeter with a separate ampli er for the utmost in signal integrity.
Custom-Engineered Transducers
Powerful ampli ers coupled with state-of-the-art technology 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 TRUTH B3031A active monitor, you can rest assured
the transducers inside have been engineered to perform awlessly with every other element
for truly professional results. As a result, the B3031A provides ruler- at frequency response from
50 Hz - 24 kHz, with tight and accurate low end, articulately-detailed mids and crystal-clear highs.
Gloriously-Wide “Sweet Spot”
The B3031A’s HF (High Frequency) content comes courtesy of an ultra high-resolution 2" velocity
ribbon transducer mounted on our proprietary wave guide. While some of our competitor’s
studio monitors have a highly-focused “sweet spot” (the optimal listening position for a pair of
loudspeakers), our wave guide is designed to create a much more generous, broader listening zone.
That means you are free to move around inside the stereo image to nd the ideal spot in the mix for
subtle instrument or e ects placement opportunities.

Suited for All Placements
The ideal environment for listening is a room that is “ at,” neither too re ective (echoes) nor too
absorptive (where the sound is mu ed). But since all rooms are not the same acoustically, your TRUTH
B3031A comes equipped to function in a wide variety of environments. Rear panel lter switches are
provided to adapt the monitor’s low- and high-frequency characteristics for optimal performance –
speci cally for your listening environment.
Monitor placement is also critical. Ideally, all loudspeakers should be placed away from walls to
ensure proper bass response. The B3031A features a set of Room Compensation switches so you can
place it against walls, or even in corners. Walls tend to enhance low-frequency content, and corners
exaggerate bass even more, but your TRUTH B3031A can be custom-tailored to provide honest bass
response for your situation, with the simple ick of a switch or two.
Ready for Your Input
The B3031A is equipped with servo-balanced inputs on XLR and ¼” TRS connectors to handle a
variety of audio sources. Thanks to its compact size and magnetic shielding, the TRUTH B3031A can
be placed near video monitors, computer displays or digital audio workstations.
