Designed to Work in Your

Environment

The ideal environment for listening is a room that is “ﬂat,” neither too reﬂective (echoes) nor too absorptive (where the sound is muﬄed). But since all rooms are not the same acoustically, all TRUTH monitors come equipped to function in a wide variety of situations. Switches are provided to adapt the monitor’s low- and high- frequency characteristics for optimal performance speciﬁc to your listening environment.

Placement is also critical. Ideally, all loudspeakers should be placed away from walls to ensure proper bass response. But fear not, B3030A/B3031A monitors feature Room Compensation switches so you can place them against walls, or even in corners.

Walls tend to enhance low-frequency content, and corners exaggerate bass even more, but your TRUTH monitor can be custom-tailored to provide honest bass response for your situation, with the simple ﬂick

of a switch or two.

Non-fatiguing, Wide “Sweet Spot”

While some of our competitor’s studio monitors have a highly focused “sweet spot” (the optimal listening position for a pair of loudspeakers), our wave-guide is designed to create a much more generous, broader listening zone. That means you won’t wear a hole in the carpet in that one spot where everything sounds great. You are free to move around inside the stereo image to ﬁnd the ideal spot in the mix for subtle instrument or eﬀects placement opportunities. You also won’t suﬀer the ravages of “monitor- fatigue-syndrome,” an ailment that comes from listening to harsh high- mids and treble content for hours

on end. The new 2" velocity ribbon transducer, along with our proprietary wave-guide design, generates silky- smooth high-end that is non-fatiguing, even during those all-night mix-down sessions that can test your nerves.

B3030A, B3031A specifications

The Behringer B3031A and B3030A are highly regarded studio monitors designed for professional audio environments, combining innovative technologies with exceptional sound quality. Created to meet the demands of modern music production, these monitors are favored by both amateur and seasoned audio engineers.

One of the standout features of the B3031A is its powerful 8.5-inch low-frequency driver, which delivers deep, precise bass response. The speaker boasts a dedicated 1-inch silk dome tweeter, ensuring a smooth high-end frequency range that captures the intricate details of audio mixes. The B3030A, on the other hand, uses a slightly smaller 7-inch driver, providing a balanced sound profile that's ideal for smaller studio spaces.

Both models utilize advanced amplifier technology, including a built-in 200-watt bi-amped power amplifier in the B3031A, which provides the necessary headroom for louder playback without distortion. The B3030A features a 140-watt bi-amped system, offering ample power for most monitoring needs. The bi-amping design allows for better efficiency and performance, providing a clean and accurate sound reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum.

Behringer employs their proprietary waveguide technology in the B3031A and B3030A, which enhances stereo imaging and delivers a wider sweet spot for listeners. This technology ensures that audio engineers can accurately judge mixes from various listening positions, a crucial aspect when creating high-quality sound recordings.

Additionally, both monitors feature adjustable controls for high and low-frequency response, allowing engineers to tailor the sound output to their room acoustics and personal preferences. The rear bass reflex port design helps to extend the low-frequency response, further enhancing bass performance without sacrificing clarity.

In terms of build quality, the B3031A and B3030A are constructed with durable MDF enclosures that minimize cabinet resonance, ensuring a clean and uncolored sound. These monitors are also equipped with professional-grade connectors, including XLR and TRS inputs, making them versatile for various audio setups.

Overall, the Behringer B3031A and B3030A monitors are designed to meet the rigorous demands of audio production, offering impressive sound quality, advanced features, and adaptability for different studio environments. Whether used for mixing, mastering, or simple listening, these monitors deliver performance that professionals can rely on.
