Behringer B1500DPRO 15" Powered Subwoofer
Put simply, these cool-running systems are much lighter, making them ultra-easy to transport and set up — and the no-compromise design means you get amazingly-deep, chest-pounding bass that will keep the party going all night long. They’ll add needed bottom-end to your active full-range speaker system.
What is Class-D Technology?
Instead of operating relatively continuously like Class AB circuits, Class-D amps switch on and off thousands of times per second, delivering power only when needed. In other words, the amplifier is either fully on or fully off, which significantly reduces power losses from the output devices given off as heat. Less heat means our amps don’t need massive heat sinks, and that means Behringer can make them lighter. This no-compromise design means the B1500D-PRO will deliver full power with incredible fidelity all night long, without the need for lengthy rest cycles.
When used in conjunction with switching-mode power supplies, which do not require bulky transformers, Behringer's Class-D amplifiers provide tremendous dynamic punch and superior fidelity. The resulting speaker systems are much lighter, making them easy to transport and set up.
Custom-Designed Transducers
The transducers (woofers and tweeters) are the only part of a sound system you actually hear, so Behringer doesn’t cut any corners. They custom-design and build their transducers from scratch. Not only do they wind their own voice coils, they process paper pulp into cones and even machine their own backplates. This enables Behringer to control the quality, and frankly, make better components.
Take control
The B1500D-PRO features balanced XLR inputs and outputs, as well as balanced XLR THRU jacks for connecting additional enclosures. A BOOST FREQUENCY knob targets a boost frequency between 45 Hz and 90 Hz. Flick the BOOST switch to give your selected frequency a +6 dB boost. These subs also feature a HIGH CUT dial to control the upper corner frequency for the subwoofer’s amplifier. The HIGH CUT dial does not affect the THRU signals, only signals directed to the subwoofer (however, it does affect the signals sent out through the Output sockets of the subwoofer to reach the full-range speakers). A LEVEL knob controls the input gain, and the PHASE switch reverses output phase to compensate for frequency cancellation between the subwoofer and satellite speakers. LEDs show operational status at a glance, including power, signal present and input overloads.
