Product Overview
Setup
Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Carefully unpack the speaker and inspect it for any signs of damage during transit. Retain the packaging materials for future transport or storage.
Placement Options
- Stand Mounting: The B115D features a 35-mm pole socket on its base, allowing it to be mounted on a standard speaker stand for elevated sound projection.
- Floor Monitor: The trapezoidal enclosure design allows the speaker to be tilted on its side, making it suitable for use as a floor monitor in live performance settings.
- Stacking: For larger setups, multiple B115D units can be stacked securely. Ensure stability when stacking.
Always ensure the speaker is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
Connecting Power
- Ensure the power switch on the rear panel is in the "OFF" position.
- Connect the supplied AC power cord to the power inlet on the rear of the speaker.
- Plug the other end of the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (120 Volts AC).
Audio Connections
The B115D features a 2-channel mixer with various input options:
- Mic/Line Inputs: Use XLR or 1/4" TRS connectors for connecting microphones, mixers, or other audio sources. Each channel has independent volume controls.
- Wireless System: The speaker is "wireless-ready" for the BEHRINGER digital wireless system (sold separately). Connect the wireless receiver to the dedicated wireless port on the rear panel for integrated wireless microphone functionality.
- Line Output: An additional Line output (XLR) is provided to link multiple B115D speakers or send the mixed signal to another sound system.
Always make sure all connections are secure before powering on the unit.
Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
- Before powering on, ensure all volume controls are set to their minimum position.
- Flip the power switch on the rear panel to the "ON" position. The power indicator LED will illuminate.
- When powering off, first reduce all volume levels, then flip the power switch to "OFF".
Adjusting Volume and EQ
- Level Controls: Each input channel has an independent Level control. Gradually increase the level for each connected source until the desired volume is achieved.
- Clip LEDs: Monitor the Clip LEDs for each channel. If a Clip LED illuminates, it indicates that the input signal is too strong and is causing distortion. Reduce the input level until the Clip LED no longer lights up.
- 2-Band EQ: Use the dedicated 2-band EQ (Bass and Treble) controls to adjust the tonal characteristics of the overall sound. Adjust these to suit your environment and audio content.
- Integrated Sound Processor: The B115D features an integrated sound processor for ultimate system control and speaker protection. This system automatically optimizes the sound and protects the components from overload.
Linking Multiple Speakers
To expand your sound system, connect the Line output (XLR) of the first B115D speaker to an input on a second B115D speaker or another powered speaker. This allows you to daisy-chain multiple units for wider coverage or increased volume.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Behringer EUROLIVE B115D speaker.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the speaker. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes. Ensure no liquids enter the speaker grille or control panel.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the speaker in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective cover.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the speaker, especially the rear panel where the amplifier is located. Do not block ventilation openings.
- Cable Management: Regularly check all audio and power cables for wear and tear. Replace damaged cables immediately to prevent electrical hazards or signal loss.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your B115D speaker, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
