Behringer Car Speaker B815NEO Manuel D’Utilisation

Page 3 of 8

With just a single NEO loudspeaker system and 

one or two dynamic microphones, you can set 
up an instant sound system. The onboard mixer 
features a LEVEL control for each input and a 
dual-band master EQ, complete with an adjustable 
Low Cut fi lter to help eliminate annoying breath 
pops and mic handling noise. An additional fi lter, 
which we call Contour, allows you to select Speech 
(for enhanced voice intelligibility), or Music for the 
broader frequency range required for the high-
fi delity reproduction of music. And if you need 
more coverage, you can chain together as many as 
you like via the convenient LINE OUT XLR connector.

The EUROLIVE NEO Series was built with 

extended low frequency handling in mind. 
Thanks to a tuned port, internally braced, 
injection-molded enclosure, each model’s 
custom-designed LF (Low Frequency) transducer 
really cranks out tight bottom end. Keep in mind 
that bass response varies according to LF transducer 
size, so the larger the speaker, the more bass you 
will be able to generate.

Why Are There Two 12" Versions 
in the Neo Series?

From a technical and functional aspect, the 

B812NEO and B912NEO are identical. They have 
exactly the same amplifi ers, transducers, DSP, 
frequency response and basic construction. 
The B912NEO is designed for applications where 
a more conservative appearance may be desired, 
such as in churches, restaurants, businesses, etc.

Which One Do I Need, the 12" or 15"?

As you’ve probably noticed, we make these 

in two woofer sizes. Which one is right for your 
application? Well, let’s start with your application:

Is it spoken word in a hotel ballroom?

• 

Hard rock in a park?

• 

A folk singer or a drum ‘n’ bass act?

• 

Loud enough for an 18-year old, or loud enough 

• 

for your grandmother?
Is your venue a huge auditorium or a tiny club?

• 

First, let’s establish one thing—both 

models put out plenty of bass. But physics 
are physics and a 15" low frequency 
transducer has almost 40% more surface 
area with which to move air than a 12". 
So with a 15" loudspeaker, you can move 
more air with the same amount of power 
and generate more bass.

If you’re amplifying a sales presentation 

with a single mic in the boardroom, or an 
acoustic guitar at the coff ee house, the 
B812NEO or B912NEO will probably be 
all the speaker system you’ll ever need. 
But if your music has more bass in it — 

or you want to crank it up louder, then 
the B815NEO may be a better choice. 
Up to a point…

The larger a room’s cubic volume, 

the more energy is required to achieve 
any given desired level of bass. In other 
words, when playing the same music 
in a big room versus a small room, 
big room = less bass; small room = more 
bass. For really large performances or 
venues, you may fi nd that you will need to 
add subwoofers to your setup to achieve 
the desired level of bass impact. But more 
on that later…
