Behringer truth B3031A Car Speaker User Manual


 
Honesty
When it comes to your studio
recordings, you want honesty. In fact,
considering how important your art is,
you should demand it! That’s why we
designed the new B3030A and B3031A
Reference Monitors to speak nothing
but the TRUTH. Oh, they still sound
great hooked up to your stereo or your
video surround system, but they were
really built with the studio in mind —
where every note you play or sing is
“under the microscope.”
Built on a Legacy
Our TRUTH B2030A and B2031A monitors
have been so wildly successful that we’ve
sold thousands upon thousands of them
to some of the most critical ears on the
planet. So, from the moment we started this
project, we knew these new speakers would
have to be something really special, and
indeed they are!
Years of R’n’D
For the past two years our Resead
Development team has been on a
mission to create the “perfect” studio
monitor. Since the TRUTH B2031A had
already become the industry standard,
our acoustic engineers decided to start
there and see just how far they could
push the envelope. They tried a variety
of transducers and enclosure designs,
along with existing and emerging
technologies. When all the dust settled,
they chose to deploy an ultra-high
resolution, 2" velocity ribbon transducer
and a long-throw, Kevlar-coned woofer
in a deformation-resistant, die-cast
aluminum chassis.
Why Kevlar?
We’re glad you asked. Kevlar has an
incredible strength-to-weight ratio —
that’s one reason it’s used in bulletproof
vests. Kevlar gives our LF transducer the
strength to handle the extremely high
energy levels required for distortion-free,
chest-pounding bass. And since they
have such low mass, Kevlar speaker
cones also respond much more quickly
than those made of paper, important
for not only maintaining bass content
integrity, but critical for midrange accuracy
and de nition. Our Kevlar transducers
reproduce even the subtlest nuance
of the low-frequency realm without
muddying the midrange.
