State-of-the-art 1.75" ragm neodymium compression driver for exceptional high-frequency reproduction
Our EUROLIVE 1,200-Watt NEO Series active loudspeakers are destined to become the new standard in high-quality live sound reproduction. Packed with 1,200 Watts of biamped Class-D output and SMPS (Switch-Mode Power Supplies), these brutes provide massive low-end punch, with the kind of high-fidelity definition and clarity typically reserved for much larger systems. NEO Series loudspeakers provide the best power- to-weight ratio of any speaker system we’ve created to date!
Class-D Works its Magic
What’s the secret? These state-of-the- art active loudspeakers are powered by custom-engineered Class-D amplifiers,
which drive the lowand high-frequency transducers to their limits without
even the slightest hint of distortion. Best of all, our Class-D amplifiers use SMPS (Switch-Mode Power Supplies), which don’t need massive transformers and heat sinks, making the NEO Series ultracompact and highly-efficient.
Put simply, these cool-running systems provide more Watts per pound, making them easy to transport and set up.
Our no-compromise design means you get solid punchy bass, along with powerful mids and pristine highs that will keep the party going all night long.

NEO-What?
Since its discovery in the 1800s, scientists have been playing with neodymium, a rare-earth element prized for its powerful magnetic properties and super-light weight. Our engineers have harnessed the power of neodymium, creating some of the best-sounding, featherweight transducers (woofers and tweeters) known to man.
Custom-Designed Transducers
Let’s face it; the transducer (speaker) is the only part of a sound system you actually hear, so we don’t cut any corners.
While some of our competitors are content to grab whatever they have on hand and plug them into their boxes, we build our transducers from scratch. Not only do
we wind our own voice coils, we process the paper pulp into cones and even machine the frames and back plates. This enables us to control the quality, and frankly, make better components— like the neodymium woofers and
1.75" neodymium titanium-diaphragm compression drivers we deploy in each and every NEO Series loudspeaker.
More than a year went into the creation of the multi-cell aperture horn/neodymium titanium-diaphragm driver combination that not only does justice to loud rock and dance music, but also satisfies audiophiles with its

musical timbre and attention to detail. The resulting HF horn dispersion pattern ensures that everyone in the performance area hears the same high-quality sound. No corners cut here!
Digital Signal Processing
From the instant the signal enters the NEO system, the digital processor takes over, ensuring the highest possible signal integrity—and we’re talking CLEAN!
The 24-bit DSP (Digital Signal Processor) includes a digital crossover, phase and time-optimization for perfect driver alignment, and a dual compressor/limiter for total system protection. Two-band EQ (HIGH and LOW) is provided for finetuning system response, along with an adjustable LOW CUT filter, a switchable dynamic Contour filter (SPEECH or MUSIC) and a digital NOISE GATE with Threshold LED.
Power to Spare
Cutting-edge technology and high fidelity transducers are not all it takes to get your message across—you need
power, and lots of it. At the heart of each of these systems is a biamped 1,200-Watt engine capable of driving the speakers to their very limit, without the slightest hint of distortion. When it comes to pure output power, NEO Series loudspeakers will simply blow you away with their massive punch, smooth mids and articulate top-end!

Instant PA System
With just a single NEO loudspeaker system and one or two dynamic microphones, you can set up an instant sound system. The onboard mixer features a LEVEL control for each input and a
dual-band master EQ, complete with an adjustable Low Cut filter to help eliminate annoying breath pops and mic handling noise. An additional filter, which we call Contour, allows you to select Speech (for enhanced voice intelligibility), or Music for the broader frequency range required for the highfidelity reproduction of music. And if you need more coverage, you can chain together as many as you like via the convenient LINE OUT XLR connector.
Low Frequency Response
The EUROLIVE NEO Series was built with extended low frequency handling in mind. Thanks to a tuned port, internally braced, injection-molded enclosure, each model’s custom-designed LF (Low Frequency) transducer really cranks out tight bottom end. Keep in mind
that bass response varies according to LF transducer size, so the larger the speaker, the more bass you will be able to generate.
Why Are There Two 12" Versions
in the Neo Series?
From a technical and functional aspect, the B812NEO and B912NEO are identical. They have exactly the same amplifiers, transducers, DSP, frequency response and basic construction. The B912NEO is designed for applications where
a more conservative appearance may be desired, such as in churches, restaurants, businesses, etc.
Which One Do I Need, the 12" or 15"?
As you’ve probably noticed, we make these in two woofer sizes. Which one is right for your application? Well, let’s start with your application:
•Is it spoken word in a hotel ballroom?
•Hard rock in a park?
•A folk singer or a drum ‘n’ bass act?
•Loud enough for an 18-year old, or loud enough for your grandmother?
•Is your venue a huge auditorium or a tiny club?
First, let’s establish one thing—both models put out plenty of bass. But physics are physics and a 15" low frequency transducer has almost 40% more surface area with which to move air than a 12". So with a 15" loudspeaker, you can move more air with the same amount of power and generate more bass.
If you’re amplifying a sales presentation with a single mic in the boardroom, or an acoustic guitar at the coffee house, the B812NEO or B912NEO will probably be
all the speaker system you’ll ever need. But if your music has more bass in it —

or you want to crank it up louder, then the B815NEO may be a better choice. Up to a point…
The larger a room’s cubic volume, the more energy is required to achieve any given desired level of bass. In other words, when playing the same music in a big room versus a small room,
big room = less bass; small room = more bass. For really large performances or venues, you may find that you will need to add subwoofers to your setup to achieve the desired level of bass impact. But more on that later…
