1. INTRODUCTION

By purchasing a BEHRINGER P Series loudspeaker, you have obtained an outstanding PA loudspeaker system. Now, you own (at least) one component of an expandable system that reproduces your music with a balanced and pure sound. Thanks to its numerous features, the P Series is the ideal PA loudspeaker system: it is equally well-suited for both small gigs and larger stages. We have brought it to life in order to offer you a complete selection of loudspeakers. In doing so, we have left open all the options for expanding your PA system. All loudspeakers feature professional inputs and outputs (compatible with Neutrik Speakon connectors), letting you flexibly expand your setup whenever you need to.

+The following instructions are intended to familiarize you with the specialized terminology used throughout this user manual in order for you to master all the functions. After having thoroughly read the user manual, store it in a safe place for future reference.

Behringer has established itself as a prominent name in the audio equipment industry, offering a wide range of products that cater to both amateur and professional audio enthusiasts. Among their impressive portfolio, the Behringer P1220F, P1800S, P1020, P2520, and P1220 models stand out for their blend of performance, durability, and affordability.

The Behringer P1220F is a powered PA speaker known for its exceptional sound quality and versatility. Featuring a 12-inch woofer and a 1.35-inch compression driver, it delivers powerful sound with a frequency response ranging from 50 Hz to 20 kHz. Its Class D amplifier provides a robust 1000 watts of power, ensuring clear audio even at high volumes. The P1220F also includes a built-in EQ and various inputs, making it ideal for live performances, DJ setups, and public speaking events.

Next in line is the Behringer P1800S, a subwoofer that enhances the low-frequency response of any sound system. Equipped with an 18-inch speaker, the P1800S can produce deep bass notes down to 30 Hz, making it perfect for genres such as electronic, hip-hop, and rock. With a power output of 2000 watts and a built-in crossover, it integrates seamlessly with other speakers, allowing for a full-range audio experience.

The Behringer P1020 is another popular model known for its lightweight design and compact size.

Its high-frequency driver provides clarity for vocals and instruments, while the overall construction ensures durability and reliability during transport.

For those who require a larger output, the Behringer P2520 is an excellent choice. This speaker features dual 15-inch woofers and a powerful 2000-watt amplifier, delivering an impressive sound with strong bass response and clear mids and highs. The P2520 is designed for larger events and can easily fill auditoriums or outdoor venues with high-quality sound.

Lastly, the Behringer P1220 rounds out this dynamic lineup. Like the P1220F, it features a 12-inch woofer and delivers remarkable audio performance.
