Conceived and designed by
BEHRINGER Germany

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 definition. Our Kevlar transducers
reproduce even the subtlest nuance
of the low-frequency realm without
muddying the midrange.

Power to the People

TRUTH
B3031A/B3030A
What’s with the funny-looking tweeter?
Ribbon tweeters bring a level of accuracy
and sophistication to high-resolution studio
monitors that was previously unattainable.
They provide exceptionally wide horizontal
dispersion (for a larger “sweet-spot”),
while holding the vertical dispersion extremely
tight. And since our ribbon transducer diaphragm
is virtually weightless, it reacts instantaneously
to changes in the high-frequency content.
Now, not only do you hear the dulcet tones of
a flute, you hear the breath flowing through
it... You hear the wind chimes bouncing off
each other... You can hear the fingernails on the
nylon strings of a classical guitar…

It takes quite a bit more than just a
“bulletproof” woofer and a high-tech
ribbon tweeter stuck inside a fancy box to
make a studio monitor of this class. It also
takes power — and lots of it! But even
more importantly, that power has to
be matched to the individual high- and
low-frequency tranducers. While some
of our competitors are content to stick
whatever speakers they have on the
shelf into haphazardly designed boxes
and then strap on a one-size-fits-all
amplifier package, we build every single
component from the ground up.
We pack 225-Watts of bi-amped
technology (including a time- and
phase-corrected active crossover) into

every B3031A (110-Watts for B3030A),
ensuring that you have the enormous
power reserves you’ll need to drive them
really hard.
Designed to Work in Your Environment
The ideal environment for listening is
a room that is “flat,” neither too reflective
(echoes) nor too absorptive (where the
sound is muffled). But since all rooms
are not the same acoustically, all TRUTH
monitors come equipped to function
in a wide variety of situations. Switches
are provided to adapt the monitor’s
low- and high-frequency characteristics
for optimal performance specific to your
listening environment.

Surround Sound Setup

Another reason why ribbon tweeters are so
supremely accurate is their ability to reproduce
frequencies far above our normal hearing range.
Even though we can’t hear these “ultrasonics,”
the lower harmonics they generate do affect
the way we experience the stereo image.
For instance, a 30 kHz signal is too high for us
to hear, but we can hear its first sub-harmonic
(15 kHz), second sub-harmonic (7.5 kHz),
and third (3.75 kHz), etc. All these sub-harmonics
combine with the primary sound to create
stunning realism.

TRUTH
B3031A/B3030A
Placement is also critical. Ideally,
all loudspeakers should be placed away
from walls to ensure proper bass response.
But fear not, B3030A/B3031A monitors feature
Room Compensation switches so you can place
them against walls, or even in corners. Walls
tend to enhance low-frequency content, and
corners exaggerate bass even more, but your
TRUTH monitor can be custom-tailored to
provide honest bass response for your situation,
with the simple flick of a switch or two.

Non-fatiguing, Wide “Sweet Spot”
While some of our competitor’s
studio monitors have a highly focused
“sweet spot” (the optimal listening position
for a pair of loudspeakers), our wave-guide is
designed to create a much more generous,
broader listening zone. That means you won’t
wear a hole in the carpet in that one spot where
everything sounds great. You are free to move
around inside the stereo image to find the ideal
spot in the mix for subtle instrument or effects
placement opportunities. You also won’t suffer
the ravages of “monitor-fatigue-syndrome,”
an ailment that comes from listening to
harsh high-mids and treble content for hours
on end. The new 2" velocity ribbon transducer,
along with our proprietary wave-guide
design, generates silky-smooth high-end that
is non-fatiguing, even during those all-night
mix-down sessions that can test your nerves.

Hearing is Believing
We could bore you to tears with all the
technical jargon (if you really like that stuff,
there’s a special treat at the end), but hearing
the TRUTH will make you a believer. From the
“bulletproof” bass of its Kevlar woofer to the silky
top-end of its ribbon transducer, we think you’ll
agree that nothing in this class outperforms the
B3030A and B3031A monitors. Compare them to
the competition and own BEHRINGER!
