Behringer B512DSP user manual Introduction, Before you get started

EUROLIVE B512DSP

1. Introduction

Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing the EUROLIVE B512DSP. The B512DSP is a state-of-the-art digitally controlled PA speaker system that will simply blow you away. Its bi-amped 600-Watt engine drives a high-efficiency 12" woofer for brutal punch and a 1.75" titanium driver for high-end resolution. The built-in mixer allows you to run the show without any extra equipment. A powerful 24-bit DSP controls the crossover, a dual compressor/ limiter, phase and time corrections and even a noise gate. The intelligent dynamic EQ makes sure your system sounds perfect at any sound level.

+Please read this manual to familiarize yourself with the control elements of the unit and its functions. After you have carefully read this manual, keep it for future reference.
