How many times have you been in a
soundcheck, one nger in your ear, your
thumb stabbing the air, trying to get the
sound guy to put enough of your vocals
in your passive oor monitor. Suddenly, as
the band tears into the rst tune, you
realize all you’re getting from your oor
monitor is a mued, annoying mess?

The F1220A is designed to make those
experiences little more than mournful
memories. This 125-Watt active monitor
has its own EQ and volume, so you not
only have control of the output, you can
also tweak the highs, mids and lows for
a sound that gives you a clear, true sense
of your sound. It’s a proven fact that the
better you can hear yourself, the better
you’ll play—isn’t it time you got active?

Great sound takes guts

Inside these loudspeakers
is the equivalent of a 2-way
electronic crossover, a graphic equalizer,
a parametric equalizer, a mic preamp and
two power ampliers! A 12" long-excursion

driver delivers deep, punchy lows while
a 1" titanium-diaphragm compression
driver gives you clean, crisp highs. They all
work together with 125 watts of handling
power and don’t need adjustments or a
degree in sound engineering.

Triumphant transducers

Every stitch of these loudspeakers is
built to deliver, but the fact is that their
transducers (woofers and tweeters)
are the only part you actually hear.
While some manufacturers are okay
with putting o-the-shelf transducers
in their boxes, we custom-design and
build ours from scratch. Not only do we
wind our own voice coils, we grow the
trees that are processed into the paper
pulp that becomes the cones. We even
machine the frames and backplates.
BEHRINGER’s quality is truly under control.

Speaking of control…

The F1220A doesn’t just sound great.
It also gives you instant control of your
monitor mix, even in mid-performance—

something passive monitors simply
cannot deliver! Need more volume?
Turn the LEVEL dial until the desired
volume is reached without activating the
CLIP LED. Sound too bassy or trebley?
Just reach down and use the three-band
EQ (HIGH, MID, LOW) to tailor a rich,
exciting sound.

We’ve even given you a line of defense
against live sound’s greatest enemy.
If you’re experiencing feedback, just press
the FEEDBACK FILTER switch, then slowly
turn the FREQUENCY dial until feedback
is eliminated.

Anytime, anywhere you choose

This monitor doesn’t just cater to
musicians. It’s excellent for anyone
with a need to be heard! With just one
F1220A and a microphone or MP3
player, you can set up an instant sound
system. Thanks to the built-in preamp
section, you can connect a dynamic mic
directly to the F1220A and raise and
lower the volume with the Level control.
Suddenly, it’s showtime in no time at all.
The F1220 also has a 35-mm socket so
you can easily mount it on a pole for use
in a PA system.
