Conceived and designed by
BEHRINGER Germany

Modeled after our highly-successful
VP1220 and VP1520 passive loudspeakers
and equipped with our revolutionary
Class-D ampli er technology and
internal switch-mode power supplies,
EUROLIVE VP1220D and VP1520D active
loudspeakers, provide the ideal power­to-weight ratio. The onboard high and
low frequency amps crank out seriously
deep bass, along with detailed mids
and highs for an amazingly articulate
sound—without the backbreaking weight.
An integrated signal processor ensures
ultra-low distortion and protection of
the custom-engineered drivers, which
we build by hand in our own facility.
Their trapezoidal enclosure design makes
them ideal for use in array deployment.

What’s the Big Deal About Class-D?

Instead of operating relatively
continuously like Class AB circuits, Class-D

amps switch on and o thousands of
times per second, delivering power
only when needed. In other words,
the ampli er is either fully on or fully o ,
which signi cantly reduces power losses
from the output devices given o as heat.
Less heat means our amps don’t need
massive heat sinks, and that means we can
make them lighter. Our no-compromise
design means your EUROLIVE D Series
loudspeakers will deliver full power with
incredible  delity all night long, without
the need for lengthy rest cycles.

When used in conjunction with
switching-mode power supplies, which
don’t require huge and heavy transformers,
our Class-D ampli ers provide tremendous
dynamic punch and superior  delity.
The resulting speaker systems are much
lighter, making them easy to transport
and set up.

Superior Sound Quality

The state-of-the-art EUROLIVE VP1220D and
VP1520D loudspeaker systems boast 550 Watts
that will simply blow you away. At the heart
of these powerful loudspeakers is a bi-amped
550-Watt Class-D engine, which drives a
high-e ciency 12" woofer (15" for VP1520D)
for brutal punch, and a 1.75" titanium-diaphragm
HF (High-Frequency) compression driver for
articulate high-end resolution. The internal
ampli ers and speakers are designed to function
as a perfectly matched team, ensuring optimal
sound every time you power up.

Processor-controlled Output

Dynamic processing is one of the best ways
to maximize output without sacri cing sound
quality. The D Series’ built-in circuitry automatically
adjusts program content, allowing the loudspeaker
to operate at extreme levels. It accomplishes
this by reducing bass output slightly as you
approach the limit of the transducers. This frees
up LF (Low Frequency) amp and transducer
resources so that higher overall volume can be
realized. It’s like having a tiny soundman inside
each cabinet constantly monitoring and tweaking
output parameters.
