Custom-Designed Transducers
Let’s face it; the transducers (woofers and tweeters) are the only part of a sound system you actually hear, so we don’t cut any corners. While some of our competitors are content to buy off-the-shelf transducers and plug them into their boxes, we custom-design and build our transducers from scratch. Not only do we wind our own voice coils, we process the paper pulp into cones and even machine our own backplates. This enables us to control the quality, and frankly, make better components, like the long-excursion LF transducers and state-of-the-art 1.75" titanium drivers we deploy in each and every EUROLIVE enclosure.
B312A or B315A?
As you’ve probably noticed, we make these active loudspeakers 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 DJ? Loud enough for an 18-year old or loud enough for your grandmother? A huge auditorium or a tiny club?
First, let’s get one thing established: 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 the easiest answer is “Whether to choose the B312A or B315A depends on your bass requirements.”
If you’re amplifying a sales presentation with a single mic or an acoustic guitar, the B312A should be all the speaker you need in most rooms. If your music has more bass in it — or you want to crank it up louder, then the B315A may be your choice.
Up to a point…
“Bass requirements” isn’t quite as easy an answer as it sounds. 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 tune in a big room versus a small room, big room = less bass; small room = more bass.
Confused yet?
We suggest that you consult your BEHRINGER dealer for more advice on this subject — which is also a good time to do a listening test of both the B315A and B312A. Against their competition and against each other. Judge for yourself. And then own BEHRINGER with money to spare.
