B3031A/B3030A
TRUTH — 2-Way Active Ribbon Studio
Reference Monitor with Kevlar Woofer
Ultra-linear frequency response with
individual frequency diagrams
Built-in 150 and 75 watt power
amplifiers (75 and 35 watt for
B3030A) with enormous
power reserve
Honesty
When it comes to your studio
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.

ribbon transducer for ultimate
sound reproduction
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.”
Long-throw 8 ¾" woofer (6 ¾" for
B3030A) with deformation-resistant
Kevlar cone and aluminum die-cast
chassis for ultimate bass response
Controlled dispersion characteristics
and extremely large “sweet spot”
owing to the unique BEHRINGER
wave guide technology
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.

Active crossover network with
4th order Linkwitz-Riley filters
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!
Adjustable to a wide range of
acoustic conditions and

overload protection
Years of R’n’D
Magnetic shielding allows placement
near computer monitors
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,
Servo-balanced inputs with XLR and
¼" TRS connectors
High-quality components and
exceptionally rugged construction
ensure long life

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”
Recording
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!
