Instant PA System

With just a single NEO loudspeaker system and one or two dynamic microphones, you can set up an instant sound system. The onboard mixer features a LEVEL control for each input and a dual-band master EQ, complete with an adjustable Low Cut filter to help eliminate annoying breath pops and mic handling noise. An additional filter, which we call Contour, allows you to select Speech (for enhanced voice intelligibility), or Music for the broader frequency range required for the high- fidelity reproduction of music. And if you need more coverage, you can chain together as many as you like via the convenient LINE OUT XLR connector.

Low Frequency Response

The EUROLIVE NEO Series was built with extended low frequency handling in mind. Thanks to a tuned port, internally braced, injection-molded enclosure, each model’s custom-designed LF (Low Frequency) transducer really cranks out tight bottom end. Keep in mind that bass response varies according to LF transducer size, so the larger the speaker, the more bass you will be able to generate.

Why Are There Two 12" Versions

in the Neo Series?

From a technical and functional aspect, the B812NEO and B912NEO are identical. They have exactly the same amplifiers, transducers, DSP, frequency response and basic construction. The B912NEO is designed for applications where a more conservative appearance may be desired, such as in churches, restaurants, businesses, etc.

Which One Do I Need, the 12" or 15"?

As you’ve probably noticed, we make these in two woofer sizes. Which one is right for your application? Well, let’s start with your application:

•Is it spoken word in a hotel ballroom?

•Hard rock in a park?

•A folk singer or a drum ‘n’ bass act?

•Loud enough for an 18-year old, or loud enough for your grandmother?

•Is your venue a huge auditorium or a tiny club?

First, let’s establish one thing—both models put out plenty of bass. But physics are physics and a 15" low frequency transducer has almost 40% more surface area with which to move air than a 12". So with a 15" loudspeaker, you can move more air with the same amount of power and generate more bass.

If you’re amplifying a sales presentation with a single mic in the boardroom, or an acoustic guitar at the coffee house, the B812NEO or B912NEO will probably be all the speaker system you’ll ever need. But if your music has more bass in it —

or you want to crank it up louder, then the B815NEO may be a better choice. Up to a point…

The larger a room’s cubic volume, the more energy is required to achieve any given desired level of bass. In other words, when playing the same music in a big room versus a small room,

big room = less bass; small room = more bass. For really large performances or venues, you may find that you will need to add subwoofers to your setup to achieve the desired level of bass impact. But more on that later…
