BEHRINGER EUROLIVE VP1520D

Thanks to our revolutionary Class-D amplifier technology and internal switch-mode power supplies, EUROLIVE VP1220D and VP1520D loudspeakers provide a much better power-to-weight ratio than competing active loudspeakers. Put simply, you get all the power and articulate sound without the backbreaking weight.

Lightweight

What’s the Big Deal About Class-D?

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 power losses from the output devices given off as heat. Less heat means our amps don’t need massive heat sinks, and that means we can make them lighter. Our no-compromise design means your EUROLIVE D Series loudspeakers will deliver full power with incredible fidelity all night long, without the need for lengthy rest cycles.

When used in conjunction with switching-mode power supplies, which don’t require huge and heavy transformers, our Class-D amplifiers provide tremendous dynamic punch and superior fidelity. The resulting speaker systems are much lighter, making them easy to transport and set up.

Power / Wattage

Superior Sound Quality

The state-of-the-art EUROLIVE VP1220D and VP1520D loudspeaker systems boast 550 Watts that will simply blow you away. At the heart of these powerful loudspeakers is a bi-amped 550-Watt Class-D engine, which drives a high-efficiency 12" woofer (15" for VP1520D) for brutal punch, and a 1.75" titanium-diaphragm HF (High-Frequency) compression driver for articulate high-end resolution. The internal amplifiers and speakers are designed to function as a perfectly matched team, ensuring optimal sound every time you power up.
Special Feature

Processor-controlled Output

Dynamic processing is one of the best ways to maximize output without sacrificing sound quality. The D Series’ built-in circuitry automatically adjusts program content, allowing the loudspeaker to operate at extreme levels. It accomplishes this by reducing bass output slightly as you approach the limit of the transducers. This frees up LF (Low Frequency) amp and transducer resources so that higher overall volume can be realized. It’s like having a tiny soundman inside each cabinet constantly monitoring and tweaking output parameters.
Audio Quality / Clarity

Thunderous Bass

In order to produce tight, deep bass, a loudspeaker has to move lots of air. EUROLIVE loudspeakers accomplish this by using powerful, long-excursion LF (Low Frequency) drivers that are handmade in our own factory. While some companies are content to use “off-the-shelf” drivers, we custom-design each LF driver to perfectly match each application. Each VP1220D or VP1520D feature custom-designed LF drivers in a tuned enclosure, providing rich, tight bass all the way down to 55 Hz (50 Hz for VP1520D).

Articulate Top End

HF content can easily make or break your performance. Too much and the sound becomes brittle and obnoxious, too little and it sounds muddy and poorly defined. The 1.75" titanium-diaphragm HF driver provides natural-sounding high end, with an ultra-wide sound dispersion pattern.
Special Feature

Instant PA System

With a single loudspeaker system and a dynamic microphone, you can set up an instant sound system. Just connect a mic directly to the builtin XLR mic preamp, place the loudspeaker on a tabletop or speaker stand, and power up. It’s that easy. And if you need more coverage, you can chain together as many as you like via the convenient LINK OUTPUT XLR connector.
Versatility

Versatility

Ideal for FOH (Front-of-House) deployment, VP1220D and VP1520D’s unique trapezoidal design also makes it the perfect choice for floor wedge and side fill monitor applications. Enclosures can be clustered, stacked, or even stand-mounted thanks to the built-in 35-mm (1.375") pole socket.

The Technical Stuff

VP1520D’s enclosure allows multiple positioning options: 10° and 35° cluster and stacking mode, stand mounting thanks to the built-in 35-mm (1.375") pole socket or positioning as a floor monitor wedge. The VP1220D is capable of extremely high sound pressure levels (118 dB @ 1 m) and provides a 55 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range. And at just 44.2 lbs (20.1 kg), the VP1220D is supremely portable. The VP1520D provides similar output (119 dB @ 1 m), with a 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range and is just 54.5 lbs (24.8 kg).
Construction / Craftsmanship

Reliability

Both the VP1220D and VP1520D have been optimized for maximum reliability through our integrated overload-protection circuitry, ensuring ultimate high-frequency driver protection. Designed to stand up to the rigors of the road, these loudspeaker systems are built to last and made to perform!
