Behringer B1030A Computer Monitor User Manual

They tried a variety of transducers and enclosure
designs, along with existing and emerging
technologies. When all the dust settled, they chose
to deploy an ultra-high resolution 1" dome tweeter
and a long-throw 5.25" Kevlar-coned woofer
in the B1030A.
Why Kevlar?
We’re glad you asked. Kevlar has an incredible
strength-to-weight ratio — that’s one reason
it’s used in bulletproof vests. Kevlar gives our
LF transducer the strength to handle the extremely
high energy levels required for distortion-free,
chest-pounding bass. And since they have such
low mass, Kevlar speaker cones also respond
much more quickly than those made of paper,
important for not only maintaining bass content
integrity, but critical for midrange accuracy and
de nition. Our Kevlar transducers reproduce even
the subtlest nuance of the low-frequency realm
without muddying the midrange.
Power to the People
It takes quite a bit more than just a “bulletproof”
woofer and a high-tech tweeter stuck inside a fancy
box to make a studio monitor of this class. It also takes
power — and lots of it! But even more importantly,
that power has to be matched to the individual
high- and low-frequency transducers. While some
of our competitors are content to stick whatever
speakers they have on the shelf into haphazardly
designed boxes and then strap on a one-size- ts-all
ampli er package, we build every single component
from the ground up.
We pack 75-Watts of bi-amped technology
(including a time- and phase-corrected active
crossover) into every B1030A, ensuring that you
have the enormous power reserves you’ll need to
drive them really hard.
Designed to Work in Your Environment
The ideal environment for listening is a room
that is “ at,” neither too re ective (echoes) nor
too absorptive (where the sound is mu ed).
But since all rooms are not the same acoustically,
all TRUTH monitors come equipped to function in
a wide variety of situations. Switches are provided
to adapt the monitor’s low- and high-frequency
characteristics for optimal performance speci c to
your listening environment.
Placement is also critical. Ideally,
all loudspeakers should be placed away
from walls to ensure proper bass response.
But fear not, B1030A monitors feature
Room Compensation switches so you
can place them against walls, or even
in corners. Walls tend to enhance
low-frequency content, and corners
exaggerate bass even more, but your
TRUTH monitor can be custom-tailored
to provide honest bass response for
your situation, with the simple  ick of
a switch or two.
