Behringer EUROLIVE B212D Powered 12-inch two-way Speaker Video Review

[@MrTwinsrule]

Great job on the reviews on this brand. I slowly have built up my system and after 6 yrs these speakers are still performing well. My latest addition was a 15 in beringer powered sub. Can't wait to see how it performs with the 18 in sub. I also have 2 behringer 12 in tops , and 2 custom 12s for monitors. Again this is a great video on good quality entry level pro gear.

[@AnjaliNatarajan]

Thank you. I have a gig tomorrow and this is the system they have. You just answered my question about the inputs. :)

[@AvenidaManolo]

I love this speakers... Qsc, mackie and other big speakers are awesome but behringer did a great job with this small, easy to carry, affordable, speakers...thanks for the info

[@sbowl40]

I paired two b212d with two b1200d subwoofers and they just rock, I got The keyboard, 2 voices, re inforce The bass Guitar combo and The drums thru them and it is good enough for a 50-100 people party. I have used Mackies that Costs 2 times these speakers and I just can't tell The difference. Behringer Rocks!

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

Thanks so much for what you do... I recently listened to these, Mackie thump 12", and 12" alto, all around the same price, and a couple other speakers. The guy at the Guitar Center seemed partial to the Mackie speakers. The thumps had more punchy bass, but the B212D had more bass than the alto I think, and sounded the best of the 3 to me, more a balanced sound... I will be getting a pair soon, then a sub, then....too much fun...LOL Thanks again!

[@echrist091]

thank you for your response you made it easier for me to understand the connection

[@BlackRose369.]

maybe it's possible but i want to be sure, can i connect my ipod to this pa system?

[@atran416]

can i connect a subwoofer directly to these speakers at the output? or will I need a separate mixer/amp for that?

[@SamboRich_]

may sound stupid, but if i just want to run music from my laptop to these, is all i need a 6.5mm-3.5mm adapter then run an aux cord to my laptop?

[@RickyMtz911]

Thanks for the quick reply and advice. That's what I had in mind, the b415dsp, but just wasnt sure. Again thanks a lot for the help and for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@abbeylanedj]

Thinking of buying the Behringer B115MP3 with 1000 watts, MP3 player and wireless mics. Any comments or reviews? Thanks for the videos.

[@RichardMohabeer]

these are the best speakers that I own I had the behringer b212a for 6 years and running I am trying to get 15 inch too

[@rsimon0303]

Is it possible to connect a pair of 1000 watt behringer passive speakers to an active subwoofer? If possible how do I do that n what kind of amp should I use?

[@hierrogm]

Dry in formative …my son stopped dj’ing so he left these beauties at my pad ..I’ve been using them as studio monitors they’re perfect in that capacity ….but I recently hooked them up to my amp modelers for guitar …and I was blown away from the tone …so question can I hook these up via the xlr link to passive 4x12 guitar cab

[@kareem_the_dream]

No, these do not transfer POWER... they only transfer audio signal via XLR.

[@ninodelamerced]

Can I hook up just one powered speaker to a mixer? Does my mixer needs to have a mono output or I just need to have a special cable. Thanks.

[@echrist091]

Do I connect input A of the subwoofer to speaker 1 output & input B of subwoofer to speaker 2 output?

[@quilla333]

i have 2 of them now for 4 years and they have performed awesome. ii have used them outdoors for parties oup to 300 people and no problems so far. i also use a 18 peavy .powerd sub to get more bass and many times i get compliments how good the set up sounds.

[@snowvalleyrat]

I've had my 212D's for 3 years now. I've maxed them out for 5 hours straight without any problems.

[@finnlddin2009]

ok but if i just wanna run one mic thru the xrl then i dont need a mixer right?

[@echrist091]

If I wanted to connect the EUROLIVE B1500D-PRO Powered 15-inch Subwoofer to a pair of EUROLIVE B212D Powered 12-inch two-way Speaker which input I should use for the sub i'm not sure about the difference between input A & B

[@AggioSound]

Anyone have their tweeters blow on these? My diaphragm has a short. Looking to upgrade tweeter any suggestions.

[@InsanityMoment]

That's because inside they have tda7293 amp (100w) only for highs and some class D chip 170w for woofer. In specs, behringer write "max output for high freq 35w". It's the 1st time when a brand tell in specs you have less power than real power :)) outstanding!

[@ierullo121]

i have numark mix track pro and i want to get these speakers wat cables should i use the mixtrack only has rca outputs

[@HerooDj]

Hello, i want to buy some speakers and i don't know what to choose between Behringer Eurolive B212D an Reloop Active Pa 700, please help me!

[@QuantumDesignsHD]

Can anyone explain to me how you would hook these up with an active subwoofer?

[@RealDJblaze]

It depends on your active subwoofer, but usually you can simply use the Subwoofer's outputs to connect to the inputs on each of these speakers. You run the master to the sub first, then from the sub to these speakers.

[@QuantumDesignsHD]

***** Hey man, thanks for the reply, your videos are helping me a lot in terms of choosing the right set up! I was planning on getting 2x Eurolive B212D, and hooking them up to 1x B12000D pro sub. Would this set up work? I wouldn't need 2 subs for 2 active speakers? From the videos I've watched and websites that I have read, it seems like the right set up for the type of thing I'd be playing, I just want to check it would be compatible.

[@RealDJblaze]

QuantumDesignsHD That setup would work, and you don't need a sub for every speaker... It would be perfectly compatible...

[@Gcort49]

Easy for iPod hookup? If Play along with acoustic drums, can it be heard?

[@ierullo121]

also how loud can you put these befor distortion

[@DjB3NA]

How would these speakers compare to something like Wharfdale Titan 12D 12"?

[@ddpianoman301]

I have a set of these and for some reason the woofer cuts out entirely when they get hot. The speaker does not distort. It just stops working after its been on for a while. Even when just sitting as I left it turned on this afternoon and when I left it was working, and when I got home it only had the horn working. Happens whether you are playing music thru it or not. Might be a crossover? Any opinions? They sound (ed) awesome.

[@HerooDj]

Man, i bought Behringer, they rock

[@Iloveph-j3d]

Can i use bluetooth transmitter for this speaker

[@kareem_the_dream]

I'm not sure if this had the Bluetooth feature back then. Maybe the newer models have it.

[@dylflah7630]

would you recommend these speakers for a rock band playing small to medium size venues?

[@sonidoxxkandalo]

Alto 12" or beringer 12" ????

[@lilrb79]

I set the both of them to 50% ( 12 oclock) do you think thats over doing them

[@finnlddin2009]

thanks for the quick reply i will most likely buy this

[@gazathugshade3]

i'm college student just got a house and have a fairly large living room and plan to throw house parties would these speakers serve that purpose and if so should i get one are two ?

[@RickyMtz911]

Hi Kareem I want to buy a pair of behringer speaker but im in between the b215d model and the b415dsp. I have a half acre yard I want them for parties and holidays. Which one would you recommend for me to buy? Thanks in advance

[@BB1LOVIN]

How are these compared to Samson Auro D412s? those are the first set ive ever used and im trying to compare these to them. Thanks!

[@lilrb79]

Hey djblaze, was just wondering if behringer speakers are reliable or unreliable. What do you think? Could you get atleast 2 years out of a set of behringer B112D?

[@MarlosZappa]

@RealDJblaze Hey there mate, I'm a guitarist (don't kill me) and I've been told I should look for an active monitor instead of a guitar amp, since I've got a preamp on a Tonelab SE effects processor. Could you tell me if the B215D would be a good choice or if that piece of advice was BS or something? It would be guitar -> effects and preamp processor -> B215D or B212D. Thanks in advance, nice video man =)

[@diegohernandez351]

Do you recommend 12" or 15" on these speakers?

[@NocturnosRockShow]

dude quick question, u said class D but in the back it says class B... why?? I bought a pair thinking they where class D...

[@lilrb79]

What do tou think of behringer speakers? I just baught a set of the new b112d and was wondering how many year I could get out of them if im doing about 12 gigs a year

[@RickyMtz911]

I just want that connection to use one speaker when I'm at the garage doing work or to watch movies but for parties I'm looking foward to buy a mixer, which one would you recommend for these two b215d's? Thanks in advance

[@elliel2k2]

Just bought the b1200d, for at least 2 reasons (budget and portability). My question is do u think the b212d is a good match for the little sub or should I go smaller. Mind you, I have lots of passive equipment that's good for large events but I'm trying to build a small mobile set that won't break my back or the bank, which is why even considered Behringer!!!!!

[@RealDJblaze]

I haven't use the 1200 so I can't really say, but the B212 should work well with them. Maybe two of the 1200's would be better than the single unit...

[@elliel2k2]

working on a second B1200D, one only cover a small radius well so two is definitely needed. I ask about the tops because I wanna completely ditch the passive gear for my small mobile gigs.(Video of my current setup on my channel)

[@psnKnowledge]

In an event with 150 people outside, do you think these speaker's tweeters would hold up when the bass is crossedover with my 15inch sub? Personally my JBL 308 studio monitors held up (up to 1 volume tap away from full blown party) when crossedover to my sub with over 100 outside :P

[@RealDJblaze]

Probably not. I would rate these speakers at like 75-100 people...

[@RickyMtz911]

Thanks alot for your help Kareem aka dj blaze

[@meshortiee10]

i bought this speaker! im just wondering does it have to be plugged directly into the wall or can it be plugged into a power board or two plug extention cord?

[@MaghoxFr]

Hi mate, would you recommend a speaker like this for voice amplification in a rehearsing studio room? Thanks

[@denverkunzer4012]

Hi and thanks for such good reviews! I've read about "problems" if connecting an AppleAirportExpress via 3.5mm -> stereo-cinch -> 6.5mm-cable -> one B212D (want to use it for background music in the garden)...?! Are there in fact problems with the sound (stereo/mono)? Greets, Denver.

[@finnlddin2009]

hey man would u say this would be good for vocals for a rock band for practice? id just be using the built in speaker on its own

[@milosian]

Great review man!

[@maritanottzmusic]

is this good for two guitar two vocal set up and more maybe?

[@RealDJblaze]

Marita Metelia You might need more than one of these for all of that...

[@maritanottzmusic]

Would two do the job I have a lot videos with djs and these speakers but no guitars or vocals do you have a link .

[@RealDJblaze]

Marita Metelia I'm not really sure...I haven't used these with anything else but DJ gear. You could go to a store and try them out...

[@jixxxxer17]

I"m wondering this myself , will the speaker work with a guitar plugged into the 1/4" input jack and while also having a mic plugged into the XLR input ? it's been 2 years since your comment have you tried it out yet with any luck ?

[@stevensalinas1994]

Great Review!

[@finnlddin2009]

hey man great review. could you run a mic through the xrl and something else thru the line input at the same time without blowing the speaker? cheers

[@cantthinkupusername]

REALDJBLAZE I HAVE A QUESTION. I have the Behringer EUROLIVE B212D and a Newmark mixtrack pro. when i even barely turn up the main level knob that controls the main volume i get alot of feedback or white noise or something before i start even playing any music, if you could help me solve this problem that would be a miracle thanks alot man. ur vids are tight af btw. very informative keep up the good work

[@RickyMtz911]

Hello kareem I bought the b215d and it sounds awesome, I was wondering is there a way to connect a smartphone or laptop straight the speaker or do i need to buy a mixer? I was using a friends mixer but I already gave it back hehe

[@guitardude73168]

Great review! Thank you! I'm looking for powered speaker for my Fender GDEC 30 and I think two of these in stereo will do just the trick.

[@lykourgakhs]

Can i use 2 of them for outdoor parties?? will they sound good? or they will be hard to hear???

[@lykourgakhs]

thanks

[@thenigguhjosue]

Okay which are better the b215 xl's or b215d's? I need to know asap because the day to my gig is getting closer and I need knew PA systems

[@BB1LOVIN]

@RealDJblaze Thanks for the quick reply! Ive come down to deciding between d412s or d415? Bass is a real big factor for me and i wont be able to get a separate sub

[@justinaschman1596]

Yo can i listen outside with my iPhone music on the speaker an examble on the beach or the football field? Thanks

[@RealDJblaze]

Justin Aschman This needs to be plugged into power... It won't really work like that.

[@Premii23]

+DJbooth DJ's Let's say it was plugged in, is there a way to connect an iphone to it? i.e. AUX?

[@RealDJblaze]

+Premii23 You can connect this to any line level source like an iphone, but you need a cable or adapters to connect to the XLR input on this and 1/8-inch connector on the other end to plug into the iphone.

[@Premii23]

Oh okay, thank you for the quick reply!

[@rbsbepic]

Can you do a review of the behringer b210d cos i want to get one for christmas.

[@NazarethHill]

Watching this in 2021. Stay safe

[@kareem_the_dream]

Thanks! you too!

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

These or the Gemini ones that are similar? passive or active.? I'm just overwhelmed... gotta turn off the "puter", make some biscuits and gravy, and turn on some tunes...LOL

[@ThrashoDeath]

Thanks a lot bro... really useful review!

[@B1k33]

are these actually 540 watts as behringer says? or is it a a marketing scheme?

[@B1k33]

ok thanks

[@CanadianWTFRants]

Hi Kareem! Been watching you're videos, they are a huge help! I had a question for you... I have a set of these speakers, was looking into buying a set of Behringer powered subs (the eurolive b1500d's). I would want all of these to run directly out of my Behringer board (I have a XENYX 2442 USB; sometimes also use my Behringer EUrodesk MX2442a). Cheers!

[@kenoakee]

Hi ... I have a pair I bought used recently and love them. Today I stumbled on to one on local classifieds for 10$ that powers up but makes a hiss or wind noise and no signal comes thru. One of the good ones hooked up the same works fine. Is this a blown crossover or . And does it sound like its repairable? Thanks.

[@RealDJblaze]

+kenoakee I don't know, so I wouldn't personally get one with a problem...

[@kenoakee]

+DJbooth DJ's wow crazy fast response... I was thinking it may be a fix that would be cheap enough to fo

[@kenoakee]

+kenoakee but great advise thank hou

[@jixxxxer17]

Best review I have seen, you know what you are talking about and you just got right down to it, Nice ! some other reviews you just want to jump off a bridge, they babble about everything but what they need to be talking about lol

[@ADDAEnzo]

I want to buy these speakers I'm a dj and I make party with like 150 persons You think it's a sound good ?? And you think it's enough for these types of party Thanks for your answer

[@RealDJblaze]

+ADDA Enzo I would say these are more like 50-person or less events. For more people, I would look for another brand or a different range in the brand... They're better for smaller gigs...

[@ADDAEnzo]

+DJbooth DJ's Ha ok thanks And how about the sound quality ??

[@RealDJblaze]

+ADDA Enzo Sound is pretty good for the price...

[@ADDAEnzo]

+DJbooth DJ's Ok thank you very much ;)

[@NaidelPro]

You might want to get the 1k watts, this are entry level dj equipment.

[@Allantoss]

if i buy these, i wouldn't need an amplifier?

[@Mlgp3]

Can you do a review on the truesonic ts 315 pa speaker by alto

[@RealDJblaze]

We reviewed the Alto TS already... Check the youtube channel...

[@finnlddin2009]

ok thanks a million

[@donontheradio]

Be careful with em. I've blown the crossover on both of mine 6 months apart. I am a keyboard player and played in a lounge band and although I play fairly loud, they shouldn't have blown the way they did. Cost $95 to fix each one at Protechs in DC. Just sold em. They do sound great and will blast if you want. But like I say.....
