Behringer DR115DSP

When used for front-of-house sound reinforcement, the Behringer DR115DSP is usually set up in pairs, positioned on the left and right to create a clear stereo image. The line output is a useful feature in this context, allowing additional speakers to be connected and the system to be expanded effortlessly. With its wide-dispersion horn and relatively compact dimensions of 687x422x390mm, the speaker is also well suited to use in delay line configurations where multiple units are connected in series. Users should note that it weighs 21.4kg, although transport and installation remain manageable thanks to well-positioned carrying handles that feel secure and comfortable. And in its black housing – no darker colour being available – it will suit any event, however modern, gritty, or elegant.

The company, which was founded in Germany by Uli Behringer and now manufactures its products in China, has been known for affordable and great-value equipment since its very first product, the Studio Exciter F. An array of mixing consoles (such as the Eurodesk MX8000), signal processors, and later sound amplification and monitoring equipment, has made it possible for countless musicians to fit out their home studios, practice rooms, and mobile PAs within budget limits that were previously unthinkable. The acquisition of other companies, including Midas, Klark Teknik, and TC Electronic, meant that new product groups were added - and also resulted in the technical expertise of these companies being incorporated into product development.
