TRUTH B2092A

FOREWORD

Dear customer,

welcome to the team of BEHRINGER users, and thank you very much for expressing your confi- dence in us by pur- chasing this studio subwoofer.

Writing this foreword for you gives me great pleasure, because it represents the cul- mination of many months of hard work delivered by our engineering team to achieve a very ambitious goal: to present a compact subwoofer that perfectly complements every loud-

speaker system with its enormous acoustic pressure and well- defined reproduction of the lowest frequencies. The task of designing our new TRUTH B2092A certainly meant a great deal of responsibility, which we assumed by focusing on you, the discerning user and musician. Meeting your expectations also meant a lot of work and night shifts. But it was fun, too. Developing a product usually brings a lot of people together, and what a great feeling it is when all who participated in such a project can be proud of what they’ve achieved.

It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team. With your highly competent suggestions for new products you’ve made a significant contribution to shaping our company and making it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely reasonable price. All of this will enable you to give free rein to your creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.

We are often asked how we manage to produce such high- quality devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is quite simple: it’s you, our customers! Many satisfied customers mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing terms for components, etc. Isn’t it only fair to pass this benefit on to you? Because we know that your success is our success too!

I would like to thank all of you who have made the TRUTH possible. You have all made your own personal contributions, from the developers to the many other employees at this company, and to you, the BEHRINGER user.

My friends, it’s been worth the effort!

Thank you very much,

Uli Behringer

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! By purchasing the TRUTH B2092A, you have obtained a powerful active subwoofer that effectively expands the transmission range of your stereo or surround system. You now own a tool that lets you reproduce the deepest bass frequencies with outstanding clarity.

The TRUTH B2092A is a compact subwoofer capable of reproducing bass frequencies down to 32 Hz. The band pass enclosure design with two long-stroke 8" loudspeakers guarantees the highest signal level with the lowest non-linear distortion possible. The integrated electronics include active crossovers, an overload-protection circuit and a powerful 360-Watt amplifier that delivers clearly defined bass even at high volumes. The B2092A features 3 signal inputs and outputs (left/center/right) as well as a separate subwoofer input. They assure flexible connectivity options for existing monitoring systems, regardless of whether they are in stereo or surround sound. The input sensitivity can be adjusted; and you can optimally adjust the B2092A to the main speakers and the acoustic surroundings by using the multistage room and phase compensation.

+The following user’s manual is intended to familiarize you with the unit’s control elements, so that you can master all the functions. After having thoroughly read the user’s manual, store it in a safe place for future reference.

ATTENTION!

+The B2092A is capable of producing extreme volumes. Please bear in mind that high sound pressures do not only temporarily damage your hearing, but can also cause permanent damage. Always make sure to select an appropriate volume.
