Behringer Introduces EUROLIVE B1200D Powered SubwooferBehringer announces the latest addition to its EuroLive family, the ultra-compact B1200D 500W active subwoofer. Based on the company's B1500D-PRO and B1800D-PRO models, the B1200D is ideal for small to mid-sized venues, or mobile DJs and musicians who want to add massive bottom-end to existing full-range speaker systems via a more compact, easy to transport subwoofer. Powered by a 500W Class-D amplifier with comprehensive LF extension, thermal and clip limit protection, the B1200D features a high-efficiency, Class-D amplifier that not only significantly reduces overall weight, but the company says it provides the same dynamic punch and fidelity typically associated with much larger, more expensive systems. A built-in active stereo crossover provides high-pass filtered outputs for full-range loudspeakers and an internal limiter provides woofer protection. The B1200D features balanced XLR inputs and outputs, as well as balanced XLR-thru jacks for connecting additional enclosures. A boost frequency knob lets the user select any frequency from 45 - 90 Hz. Then, much like a "mini-parametric EQ," engaging the boost switch augments the selected frequency by +10 dB. Also provided is a high cut filter that controls the upper-corner frequency for the internal amplifier and a level knob, which controls input gain. A phase switch reverses the output phase for proper alignment between the B1200D and satellite speakers. Power, signal, and clip LEDs show operational status at a glance for perfect monitoring. Behringer designs and manufactures all their own transducers in-house -- including the powerful 12" long-excursion, low-frequency transducer found in the B1200D. The EuroLive B1200D is covered by Behringer's three-year warranty program, and is expected in US stores in second quarter 2013.
