Say Goodbye to Back-breaking
Floor Wedges
By using an internal switch-mode power
supply, we reduced the weight of the B205D
to a mere 7.0 lbs (3.2 kg). This means that
instead of bringing in your old passive floor
wedges one-at-a-time, you can carry all your
monitors in one trip—without even breaking
a sweat! They are small enough to mount on
mic stands (each speaker includes a special
mic stand integration system), on a tabletop,
or they can be placed directly atop a piano or
electronic keyboard.
Class-D Technology Delivers High Power,
Low Weight
Instead of operating relatively
continuously like Class AB circuits,
Class-D amps switch on and off thousands
of times per second, delivering power
only when needed. In other words, the
amplifier is either fully on or fully off, which
significantly reduces the power losses in the
output devices.
When used in conjunction with
switching-mode power supplies, our Class-D
amplifiers provide tremendous dynamic
punch and superior fidelity. The resulting
speakers systems are much lighter,
making them easy to transport and set up.
Our no-compromise design means your
B205Ds deliver full power with incredible
fidelity all night long, without the need for
rest cycles.
Custom-Engineered Drivers
Let's face it; the drivers (otherwise known
as speakers) are the only part of a sound
system you actually hear. So when it comes
to ours, we don't cut any corners. While
some of our competitors outsource theirs,
we custom-design and build our speakers
from scratch. We wind our own voice coils,
process the paper pulp into cones and even
machine our own speaker back plates and
frames. This enables us to control the quality,
keep production costs down and frankly,
to make better components. The premium-
grade 5.25" neodymium driver was designed
specifically and optimized solely for use in
the B205D.
Instant PA System
With just a single B205D loudspeaker
system and a microphone, you can set
up an instant, high-quality sound system.
Thanks to the built-in preamp section,
you just connect a dynamic mic and
raise and lower the volume with the
LEVEL control. Plug in your sound source
(CD or MP3 player), place the speaker
on a tabletop or mic stand and power
up. It's just that easy. And if you need
more coverage, you can chain together
as many as you like via the convenient
LINK OUTPUT XLR connector.

Stereo Music System
You can even use two B205Ds
for stereo playback of your MP3,
CD or cassette deck without any
additional hardware—pretty cool for
playing background music or making
announcements. Just plug the
appropriate stereo "breakout" adapter
(not included) into your deck's output
jack, run one cable to each loudspeaker
and set the Level and EQ controls the
same on both B205Ds. Voilà, instant party!
