  • Page 10: Applications

    2. APPLICATIONS 2.1 Connection Use the enclosed power cord to connect the B2031 to the mains. To avoid ground loops, both speakers and the mixing console should be fed from the same outlet. For your convenience, the TRUTH features an automatic power-up system which activates the B2031 as soon as a signal is present on its input, and deactivates the speaker after signal pauses of more than five minutes.
  • Page 11: Recommended Setup

    The BEHRINGER TRUTH B2031 is a so-called near-field monitor, which means that the impact of the room acoustics on the sound will be reduced considerably owing to the short distance between speaker and listener.
  • Page 12: Adapting The Truth To The Room Acoustics

    Fig. 2.2: Correct speaker setup This effect can be reduced by turning the speakers towards the listener. To make reflections from ceiling or floor less likely, the tweeters should be on the same height as your ears. Please note that the TRUTH should be operated vertically.
  • Page 13 It might be necessary to insert an equalizer between console and speaker, in particular, if you prefer extreme setups or sound images. The BEHRINGER ULTRA-CURVE PRO DSP8024 has proven its usefulness in practice, as it is not only a simple equalizer but also includes analyzer circuitry. You can use our measuring microphone ECM8000 to automatically adapt the TRUTH to your room or modify its frequency response.
