Modeled after our highly-successful
VP1520 and VP1220 passive loudspeakers
and equipped with our revolutionary
Class-D amplier technology and
internal switch-mode power supplies,
EUROLIVE VP1520D and VP1220D
active loudspeakers, provide the ideal
power-to-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
VP1520D and VP1220D 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.

Thunderous Bass

In order to produce tight, deep bass,
a loudspeaker has to move lots of air.
EUROLIVE loudspeakers accomplish
this by using powerful, long-excursion
LF (Low Frequency) drivers that are
handmade in our own factory. While some
companies are content to use “o-the-shelf”
drivers, we custom-design each LF driver
to perfectly match each application.
Each VP1520D or VP1220D feature
custom-designed LF drivers in a tuned
enclosure, providing rich, tight bass all the
way down to 55 Hz (50 Hz for VP1520D).

Reliability

Both the VP1520D and VP1220D
have been optimized for maximum
reliability through our integrated
overload-protection circuitry,
ensuring ultimate high-frequency
driver protection. Designed to
stand up to the rigors of the road,
these loudspeaker systems are built to
last and made to perform!

When you see and hear what the
VP1520D and VP1220D oer in terms of
sound quality and features, you’ll own
BEHRINGER—with money to spare!

Articulate Top End

HF content can easily make or break
your performance. Too much and the sound
becomes brittle and obnoxious, too little
and it sounds muddy and poorly dened.
The 1.75" titanium-diaphragm HF driver
provides natural-sounding high end, with an
ultra-wide sound dispersion pattern.

Instant PA System

With a single loudspeaker system and
a dynamic microphone, you can set up an
instant sound system. Just connect a mic
directly to the built-in XLR mic preamp,
place the loudspeaker on a tabletop or
speaker stand, and power up. It’s that easy.
And if you need more coverage, you can
chain together as many as you like via the
convenient LINK OUTPUT XLR connector.

The Technical Stu

The VP1220D is capable of extremely
high sound pressure levels (118 dB @ 1 m)
across a 55 Hz - 20 kHz frequency range,
and weighs just over 44 lbs (20.1 kg).
The VP1520D provides similar output
(119 dB @ 1 m) from 50 Hz - 20 kHz,
at 54.5 lbs (24.8 kg).
