For way too long, boardrooms,
classrooms and restaurants around the
world have had to put up with bad sound.
You know, the kind generated by those
imsy “tin-cans-mounted-in-ceiling-tiles”
(that no one seems to remember ever
having installed in the rst place). You can
kiss “bad sound” goodbye forever thanks
to the great-sounding new CE500A
loudspeaker systems from BEHRINGER
— and they’re available in your choice of
black or white.

We Mean Business

The CE500A speaker system is ideal
for business environments, letting
you enjoy full, clear sound over a wide
listening area. Specically designed to
complement commercial indoor facilities
such as restaurants, shops, exhibition halls
and more, CE500As come equipped with
special mounting brackets, allowing them

to be mounted on walls or suspended
from above. This means you can aim
them, which is handy considering people
have ears on the sides of their heads,
not the top!

More Like Studio Monitors
Than “Tin-Cans”

Inside these multi-purpose active
loudspeakers are powerful 5 ½" woofers
and high-resolution ½" tweeters
powered by an internal 80-Watt amplier.
These transducers have been designed to
work with the onboard amp seamlessly,
meaning there is not too much, or even
worse, too little wattage to adequately
power the system. And the sound quality
of the CE500A puts those aforementioned
“tin-cans” to shame.

Serious Connections

Connecting the CE500A couldn’t be easier,
thanks to the convenient rear panel which
provides a standard XLR mic socket and RCA
jacks for hooking up a tape/CD or even MP3
deck. To raise and lower the mic volume,
just turn the Level control (RCA volume levels
are controlled by the source device). To run two
CE500As in stereo mode, connect your playback
deck to the right RCA jack on one loudspeaker
and the left jack on the other. You can even
chain together as many CE500As as you’d like
via the handy Link XLR socket.

Instant PA System

You don’t even need a mixer to use the
CE500A. You can plug one into the wall outlet,
connect a microphone and start talking —
sometimes that’s all you need. That’s why we
include a special adapter that lets you mount
the CE500A on a standard mic stand. It’s like
having your own personal 80-Watt megaphone!

conference room, the waiting room or the
lobby, the new CE500A business speakers
will elevate your company status and get
your message across. Stop yelling into those
tin-cans… everyone will thank you.
