1. INTRODUCTION
1. INTRODUCTION
By purchasing BEHRINGER EUROLIVE PERFORMER speakers,
you ha e obtained a first-class PA loudspeaker system. Now,
you own (at least) one component of an expandable system that
will reproduce the sound of your musical material unadulterated
and perfectly balanced.
Thanks to its numerous features, the EUROLIVE PERFORMER
SERIES is the ideal PA loudspeaker system: it is equally well-
suited both for small gigs and large stages. We ha e brought it to
life in order to offer you a complete range of loudspeaker choices.
In doing so, we ha e left open all the options for expanding your
PA system. All loudspeakers feature professional inputs and
outputs (compatible to Neutrik® Speakon®), letting you flexibly
expand your setup whene er you need to.
+The following instructions are intended to
familiarize you with the specialized terminology
used throughout this users manual, so that you
can master all the functions. After having thoroughly
read the users manual, store it in a safe place for
future reference.
1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipment

EUROLIVE PERFORMER SERIES
3. SUBWOOF R OP RATING MOD S
2. OPTIMAL OPERATION
We ha e de eloped the EUROLIVE PERFORMER SERIES for
use in a wide range of possible applications. Of course, the
sound of your loudspeakers depends on the acoustic
characteristics of the room/space in which they are being used.
The following chapters of this manual will gi e you information
about getting the most out of your EUROLIVE speakers.
2.1 HF drivers
High frequencies are the segment of the audio spectrum
responsible for clarity and speech intelligibility. These frequencies
are the easiest ones to locate, but at the same time they are also
the easiest ones to obstruct. Therefore, we recommend
positioning your speakers so that the HF dri ers are located
slightly abo e the height of the audience. This guarantees the
best possible dispersion of high frequencies and considerably
higher intelligibility.
2.2 How to prevent feedback
Always place the front of house speakers ahead of the
microphones (from the audiences perspecti e), and ne er
behind. Use professional floor monitors (e.g. E1220 or E1520) or
an in-ear monitoring system to hear the stage performers.
2.3 How to avoid feedback w en working
wit record players (DJ applications)
In applications with record players, bass feedback can occur.
Bass feedback occurs when low frequencies get back to the
pickup and are re-reproduced on the speakers. The most common
causes for this are: speakers located too closely to the record
player, a room with a wooden floor, or presence of a podium or
a platform. In such cases, it is best to mo e the speakers away
from the record player and banish them from the stage, so that
they are located on firm ground. Another option is to use raised
stands, which pre ent the speakers from ha ing a direct contact
with the ground.
2.4 Loudspeaker protection
by using a low-cut filter
Try to pre ent damage to your speakers caused by extreme
oscillation of the bass membrane due to subsonic noise and
extremely deep frequencies. Use an equalizer to cut off those
frequencies that fall below your speakers frequency range, or
use a low-cut/high-pass filter. Most equalizers and sound-
impro ement systems offer a low-cut function, like the
BEHRINGER ULTRAGRAPH DIGITAL DEQ1024, for example.
Using a low-cut filter in your signal path is particularly
recommended if you use record players or CD players as your
signal source. CD players often produce extremely deep
frequencies, which can lead to extreme excursions of the bass
membrane.
3. SUBWOOFER OPERATING MODES
3.1 BI-AMPING and PASSIVE operation (E1800X)
The EUROLIVE PERFORMER SERIES subwoofer can run in
two ways: in PASSIVE and BI-AMPING mode. The E1800X can
be switched from BI-AMPING to PASSIVE by using the switch
located in the back. For all applications, your EUROLIVE speakers
are connected using the speaker inputs.
+Never switch the operating mode if your EUROLIVE
speakers are wired to an active signal source.
The subwoofer features an internal crosso er. Running the
E1800X in passi e mode makes it ideally suited for working
together with the 2-way E1220 and W1520 systems. This way,
you achie e an absolutely balanced sound characteristic.
Howe er, if you select the BI-AMPING mode, your subwoofer
can be combined with other EUROLIVE 2-way systems. The
BI-AMPING operating mode offers se eral primary ad antages:
lower distortion, greater flexibility of signal transmission as well
as an impro ed o erall performance of your system. The PASSIVE
operating mode has the ad antage of requiring no additional
crosso ers in order to keep the subwoofers frequency range
within its limits.
If you are using an external crosso er, e.g. the
BEHRINGER ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496, pay attention to chapter
8, SPECIFICATIONS. There, you will find information about the
recommended crosso er frequency range. We recommend a
slope rate of at least 12 dB, whereby a higher alue guarantees
the best possible performance. A slope rate of 24 dB is ideal.
Our recommendations are only examples of possible
interactions between different EUROLIVE speakers. Depending
on your own personal sound requirements and the genre of the
music being played, other combinations are of course possible.
3.2 Looping t roug t e subwoofer signal
(E1800X)
The E1800X subwoofer from the EUROLIVE PERFORMER
SERIES features two speaker connectors. In BI-AMPING mode,
the PINS 2-/2+ of the input are connected directly with the speaker.
PINS 1-/1+ of the input are connected to the PINS 1-/1+ of the
output and the signal can be simply looped through. To this end,
please adhere to the specifications gi en in chapter 4.
+Please keep in mind that when you switch the
E1800X subwoofer to BI-AMPING mode, the input
signal is routed to PINS 2-/2+. In this case, PINS 1-/1+
merely serve to loop the signal through!

sIn general, when in BI-AMPING mode, PINS 1-/1+ and PINS
2-/2+ are looped through.
5. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Lengt and diameter of loudspeaker cables
Loudspeaker cables whose diameter is too small can
considerably limit the power amp performance. The longer the
cable, the more pronounced the problem. As a result, musicians
often simply turn up the amp, which can lead to loudspeaker
damage. Therefore, dont use cables longer than 15 m (45 ft.).
For most applications, this will not be necessary. Cable diameter
should be at least 2.5 - 4.0 mm2.
5.2 Power amp rating
Selecting the right amp can turn out to be rather difficult.
Therefore, stick to the following rule of thumb: the power rating
of your amp should be roughly twice the speaker load capacity.
A speaker rated at 200 Watts continuous performance can easily
be powered by an amp rated at 400 Watts output power. An
optimal addition to your speaker system would be the BEHRINGER
EUROPOWER EP1500 power amp, for example.
5.3 Fuses
We do not recommend the use of fuses with audio applications.
Damage to loudspeakers can be the result of high peak signals
and high output power. Howe er, fuses can only offer protection
from one of these two factors, and ne er from both. Additionally,
fuse resistors are sometimes nonlinear, leading to distortion and
unpredictable o erdri ing.
5.3.1 Protecting your equipment
sAlways try to find the optimal signal le el. Try to a oid
o erdri ing your amp.
sKeep in mind the physical limitations of your PA system.
sUse a limiter to restrict the output signal le el. Place the
limiter between the mixing console and the power amp. For
this purpose, our pro en AUTOCOM PRO-XL MDX1600,
COMPOSER PRO-XL MDX2600 and MULTICOM PRO-XL
MDX4600 compressors offer an outstanding solution. All
models can be used as a limiter: the audio signal doesnt
o erdri e any more, and unpleasant peaks are effecti ely
a oided.
+Our ULTRADRIVE PRO D X2496 and SUPER-X X3400/
X2310 crossovers are particularly well-suited for
protecting your equipment: for each output, they
have independent limiters.
6. APPLICATION EXAMPLES
6.1 Full-range stereo operation
In the following example, the main stereo output signal of a
mixing console is connected to a stereo power amplifier. A E1220
PRO is connected to each of the amp outputs, and these speakers
reproduce the entire frequency range (full range).
Fig. 6.1: Full-range stereo operation

7
EUROLIVE PERFORMER SERIES
6. APPLICATION XAMPL S
6.2 Stereo operation wit a subwoofer
Using a crosso er, the main stereo output signal of a mixing
console is split into a stereo signal and a mono signal, whereby
the mono signal co ers the lower frequency range and the stereo
signal carries the rest of the frequencies. Then, the stereo signal
is connected to a stereo power amplifier. An E1520 is connected
to each of the amps outputs. The mono subwoofer signal is
connected to one channel of an additional power amplifier, which
is powering one E1800X subwoofer.
Fig. 6.2: Stereo operation with a subwoofer
6.3 Stereo operation wit
a stage monitor and a subwoofer
This example shows the use of two E1520s as FOH
loudspeakers and one E1220 used as a floor monitor on the
stage. The FOH loudspeakers reproduce the main stereo output
signal from the mixing console, while the stage monitor is fed an
independent monitor mix through a mono monitor send
(Aux Send). A separate subwoofer output feeds an E1800X
subwoofer with the bass signal. Two stereo power amps are
required for this application, whereby one amp reproduces the
main stereo signal, and the other one reproduces both mono
signals (subwoofer and monitor signal).

a stage monitor and a subwoofer

EUROLIVE PERFORMER SERIES
7. TROUBL SHOOTING
7. TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1 No signal w en loudspeaker is connected
sMake sure that your mixing console is indeed carrying a
signal (is the master fader raised? are channels acti e?)
and that the gain control on your amp is turned up.
sWhen using a crosso er, make sure that the rele ant
channels are acti e.
sCheck if the cable connection is interrupted/damaged
somewhere in your setup.
sTo test your configuration, connect another amp. If you
now get a signal, the power amp is the culprit.
sTo test your configuration, connect another speaker. If
you now get a signal, the fault lies within the speaker.
7.2 Signal present only on one c annel
sMake sure that your mixing console is working properly (is
the signal present on both outputs (L/R)?).
sIf using a crosso er, check if the rele ant channel is acti e.
sCheck if the cable connection to the silent channel and to
the corresponding speakers is interrupted/damaged
somewhere along the path.
sConnect the silent loudspeaker onto the amp channel that
works properly. If you now get a signal, it is the amp channel
that is at fault. If you still can not hear anything, the fault lies
either within the loudspeaker or the cables used.
7.3 Signal distorted
sMake sure that all signals on the mixing console ha e been
set to optimal le els in order to a oid distortion.
sIf using a crosso er, check if all signals ha e been set to
correct le els.
sMake sure that the power amp channels are not o erdri ing.
If so, turn the gain control down a little. Howe er, it could
also be the case that your power amp doesnt ha e enough
power headroom, so that the required olume can not be
generated without starting to distort.
sMake sure that the le el of the signal getting into the speakers
is not too high, causing distortion.
sCheck your EQ settings. Excessi ely increasing the
frequencies can result in distortion.
sIf distortion is still occurring despite e erything you ha e
tried to eliminate it, try connecting a different power amp. If
you no longer hear distortion, its cause was with the power
amp.
sAs a test, connect another speaker. If you no longer hear
distortion, its cause was with the loudspeaker (perhaps a
defecti e loudspeaker).
sCheck if the cable connection is interrupted/defecti e
somewhere along the path.
7.4 Treble signal too low
sCheck the EQ settings on your mixing console or on an
external EQ, if applicable.
sMake sure that the tweeters on your loudspeakers are
positioned at the same height as the ears of the people in
the audience. If not, please modify the speaker position.
sThe internal tweeter fuse may ha e opened. In this case,
please contact a BEHRINGER ser ice branch office near
you.
7.5 Bass signal too low
sCheck the EQ settings on your mixing console or on an
external EQ, if applicable.
sCheck the speaker cable pin assignment (see fig. 1.3).
Incorrect pin assignment can cause phase cancellation
and the frequency incursions related to it.
7.6 Poor sound c aracteristics
sCheck the speaker cable pin assignment (see fig. 1.3).
Incorrect pin assignment can cause phase cancellation
and the frequency incursions related to it.
sCheck if large objects (e.g. effect racks and similar
equipment) are placed in front of the loudspeakers. They
too can negati ely influence sound dispersion.
sCheck the sound quality of the input signal by listening to it
on a set of headphones.
sAlso see the instructions in the chapters 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5.
