EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES 1. INTRODUCTION By purchasing BEHRINGER EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL speakers, you have obtained a first-class PA loudspeaker system. Now, you own (at least) one component of an expandable system that will reproduce the sound of your musical material unadulterated and perfectly balanced. Thanks to its numerous features, the EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES is the ideal PA loudspeaker system: it is equally well-suited both for small gigs and large stages.
EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES 2.4 Loudspeaker protection by using a low-cut filter 2. OPTIMAL OPERATION We have developed the EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES for use in a wide range of possible applications. Of course, the sound of your loudspeakers depends on the acoustic characteristics of the room/space in which they are being used. The following chapters of this manual will give you information about getting the most out of your EUROLIVE speakers. 2.
EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES 3.3 PARALLEL Input (B1220 PRO and B1520 PRO) The EUROLIVE B1220 PRO and B1520 PRO loudspeakers feature two speaker inputs laid out in parallel. You can alternatively connect one of the connectors to the output on your power amp and tap into the signal from the amp once again on the second connector, in order to, for example, feed this signal into an additional loudspeaker. This way, you can create stacks consisting of speakers with different impedance values.
EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES 6. APPLICATION EXAMPLES 6.1 Full-range stereo operation In the following example, the main stereo output signal of a mixing console is connected to a stereo power amplifier. A B1220 PRO is connected to each of the amp outputs, and these speakers reproduce the entire frequency range (full range). 6.
EUROLIVE PROFESSIONAL SERIES 6.3 Stereo operation with a parallel stage monitoring system and a subwoofer This example shows the use of two B1520 PROs as FOH loudspeakers and one B1220 PRO used as a floor monitor on stage. The FOH loudspeakers reproduce the main stereo output signal from the mixing console, while the stage monitor is fed an independent monitor mix through a mono monitor send (Aux Send). A separate subwoofer output feeds a B1800X PRO subwoofer with the bass signal.
