4.3 Other uses

Monitoring:

When used as a monitor, the B1220DSP receives its audio signal from the monitor or aux output of the mixing console. If additional B1220DSPs are to be used, you can loop the audio signal from the first speaker to the next B1220DSP using the line output. The sound and volume of each B1220DSP can be adjusted with their own operating elements {3} (LEVEL), {7} (EQ HIGH) and {8} (EQ LOW).

Keyboard amplification:

Guitarists and bassists usually have their own amplifiers on stage to make sure they can hear their own instrument - even when no monitors are used. In particular on smaller stages, the power delivered by these amps is enough to match the volume produced by other sound sources on stage. Things are different with keyboards and synthesizers as these usually have no built- in speakers. The B1220DSP allows you to connect and mix two keyboards. If you want to play more than two keyboards, you can use a submixer (e.g. MicroMIX MX400) to mix down the signals and route them to the B1220DSP using submixer output connectors. The second MIC/LINE input can be used to connect the monitor signal from the PA mixing console, so that you can also hear the other members of your band.

5. Installation

Both audio inputs and outputs of the BEHRINGER B1220DSP are fully balanced. To maximize interference compensation, try to establish balanced connections to other equipment, whenever possible.

+Make sure that only competent people install your B1220DSP. They must be sufficiently earthed during and after the installation process. Otherwise, electrostatic discharges may negatively affect the operating characteristics of your equipment.

B1220DSP specifications

The Behringer B1220DSP is a powerful and versatile loudspeaker designed to meet the demands of live performances, public address systems, and mobile DJ setups. Renowned for its robustness and sound quality, the B1220DSP stands out with its blend of advanced technology and user-friendly features.

One of the key highlights of the B1220DSP is its built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology. This allows precise control over audio characteristics, enabling the speaker to deliver optimal sound quality across various environments. The DSP features several equalization presets designed to enhance audio clarity and presence, making it well-suited for different applications whether you're playing music, delivering speeches, or conducting live performances.

In terms of power, the B1220DSP boasts a 550-watt Class D amplifier. The Class D design not only ensures high efficiency but also ensures the loudspeaker can handle demanding audio without distortion, even at high volumes. The speaker incorporates a high-frequency titanium driver for crisp highs and a robust 12-inch woofer for deep, punchy lows, delivering a balanced sound that is both powerful and articulate.

Portability is another significant advantage of the B1220DSP. Weighing in at manageable levels, it features an integrated handle making it easy to transport to various venues. Additionally, the design includes rugged enclosure materials that can withstand the rigors of frequent use, ensuring longevity and reliability over time.

Connectivity options on the B1220DSP are extensive. It features a variety of input channels, including XLR and TRS inputs, allowing for flexible integration with mixing consoles, instruments, and other audio equipment. The speaker is also equipped with professional-grade outputs for linking multiple units, creating a larger sound system as needed.

Another notable characteristic is the speaker’s ability to function as a standalone unit. With its onboard DSP, it can adapt to different performance needs without requiring additional external processing. This makes it particularly appealing for mobile entertainers or events where setup time is limited.

In conclusion, the Behringer B1220DSP combines advanced DSP technology, robust construction, and high-quality audio performance in a portable design. With its array of features and capabilities, it is an excellent choice for musicians, DJs, and anyone in need of a reliable loudspeaker that delivers impressive sound output.
