1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! With our new BEHRINGER TRUTH you have
purchased one of the best high-resolution active studio monitors
available. It is a tool that reproduces your program material with
highest fidelity and balance, positioning sound sources
accurately on the stereo basis.
The TRUTH features two separate amplifiers for bass and
high frequencies, sporting loads of power reserve. On the bass
end, a long-excursion woofer embedded in a sturdy cast-
aluminum casing springs into action. The scope is broadened
downward by using a special bass reflex system. In the upper
frequency range, a specially developed dome tweeter provides
for subtle signal reproduction. The chassis and the amplifiers
are protected from overload using a sophisticated circuitry. The
speakers are magnetically shielded, so you can use your TRUTH
near computer monitors or TV sets. The audio signal is separated
using an active crossover that guarantees accurate frequency
separation and perfect tuning of both speakers among each
other.
We recommend that you experiment with your TRUTH away
from the pressures of a recording session, in order to get a feel
for it. It will be a good idea to listen to your favorite CDs over the
TRUTH, so that you can get an impression of the neutral sound
this speaker produceswhich might be somewhat unusual at
first!
+The f ll wing users manual is intended t
familiarize y u with the units c ntr l elements,
s that y u can master all the functi ns. After having
th r ughly read the users manual, st re it at a safe
place f r future reference.

represents the cul-
mination of many months
of hard work delivered
by our engineering team
to achieve a very
ambitious goal: to
present two outstanding
nearfield monitors,
whose neutral sound
makes them ideal for studio use. The task of designing our new
B2030A and B2031A certainly meant a great deal of responsibility,
which we assumed by focusing on you, the discerning user and
musician. Meeting your expectations also meant a lot of work
and night shifts. But it was fun, too. Developing a product usually
brings a lot of people together, and what a great feeling it is
when all who participated in such a project can be proud of
what theyve achieved.
It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because
you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team.
With your highly competent suggestions for new products youve
made a significant contribution to shaping our company and making
it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality
as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely
reasonable price. All of this will enable you to give free rein to
your creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.
We are often asked how we manage to produce such high-
quality devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is
quite simple: its you, our customers! Many satisfied customers
mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing
terms for components, etc. Isnt it only fair to pass this benefit on
to you? Because we know that your success is our success
too!
I would like to thank all of you who have made the TRUTH
possible. You have all made your own personal contributions,
from the developers to the many other employees at this company,
and to you, the BEHRINGER user.
My friends, its been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,

TRUTH B2030A/B2031A
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipm nt
The B2030A/B2031A was carefully packed at the factory to
assure secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard
box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect
the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage.
+Damaged units sh uld NEVER be sent directly t us.
Please inf rm the dealer fr m wh m y u acquired
the unit immediately as well as the transp rtati n
c mpany fr m which y u t k delivery f the unit.
Otherwise, all claims f r replacement/repair may
be rendered invalid.
1.1.2 Initial op ration
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation,
and never place the TRUTH on top of an amplifier or in the vicinity
of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.
+Bef re plugging the unit int a p wer s cket, please
make sure y u have selected the c rrect v ltage:
The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains
three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite
one another. The voltage indicated adjacent to these markings is
the voltage to which your unit has been set up, and can be
altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°. ATTENTION:
This d es n t apply t exp rt m dels that were f r
example manufactured nly f r use with 120 V!
+If y u alter the units v ltage, y u must change
the fuse acc rdingly. The c rrect value f the
fuse needed can be f und in the chapter
SPECIFICATIONS.
+Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses f
appr priate rating with ut excepti n! The c rrect
value f the fuses needed can be f und in the
chapter SPECIFICATIONS.
Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All
requiered safety precautions have been adhered to.
+Please make sure that the unit is gr unded at all
times. F r y ur wn pr tecti n, y u sh uld never
tamper with the gr unding f the cable r the unit

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
The control elements described in the following are the same
on both loudspeakers.
Fig. 2.1: Front panel display elements (here: B2030A)
ON. This LED lights up as soon as you switch on the
speaker.
LI IT. Lights up as soon as one of the built-in protections
is activated.
Fig. 2.2: Rear panel connectors
All connectors of the TRUTH face downwards, so as to allow
you to place the speaker as closely to a wall as possible.
INPUT. These are the balanced inputs of your TRUTH, laid
out as 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors.
The mains connection is achieved via the standard IEC
connector. A matching power cord is included.
FUSE CO PART ENT/VOLTAGE SELECTION: Before
plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure
you have selected the correct voltage. Faulty fuses must
be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without
exception. Some units feature a fuse compartment that
can be operated in two different positions, allowing
alternating between 230 V and 120 V. Attention: when
using the unit outside of Europe (running on 120 V), you
have to implement a fuse with a higher rating.
Fig. 2.3: The POWER switch
Use the POWER switch to power up your TRUTH. The
POWER switch should always be in the Off position when
you are about to connect your unit to the mains.
+Attenti n: The POWER switch d es n t fully
disc nnect the unit fr m the mains. Unplug the
p wer c rd c mpletely when the unit is n t used
f r pr l nged peri ds f time.

HIGH FREQUENCY. This switch adapts the speaker's
frequency response to the damping characteristics of the
control room.
Fig. 2.6: Rear panel control elements
The following control elements are found nly on the B2031A:
POWER ODE. This switch allows you to toggle between
ON, OFF and AUTO power-up modes (see chapter 3.1).
UTE LOW. Disables the woofer for servicing and
maintenance.
UTE HIGH. Disables the tweeter for servicing and
maintenance.
3. APPLICATIONS
3.1 Connection
Use the enclosed power cord to connect the TRUTH to the
mains. To avoid ground loops, both speakers and the mixing
console should be fed from the same outlet. For your convenience,
the B2031A features an automatic power-up system which
activates the TRUTH as soon as a signal is present on its input,
and deactivates the speaker after signal pauses of more than
five minutes (only B2031A).
Function: The switch for the automatic power-up system
has three positions. When set to OFF, the speaker is completely
switched off and cannot be activated with the POWER switch
. Position AUTO allows the automatic operation as mentioned
above. In position ON, the B2031 is activated all the time and can
be switched off only with switch .
+Be sure t switch the TRUTH ff with the POWER
switch during l nger pauses.
Now connect both speakers to your console by means of
commercial XLR or TRS cables. Since the TRUTH is an active
speaker system, instead of conventional speaker cables you
will need normal TRS or XLR cables.
Connect the TRUTH to the control room outputs of your console,
so as to be able to control the monitoring volume independently
of the main mix level. If your console does not have such outputs,
you can also use the main mix outputs. However, in this case the
speaker volume cannot be set independently of the main mix
level, i.e. you must adjust the monitoring volume on the TRUTH.
Please consult the operating instructions accompanying your
console to find out whether it has balanced or unbalanced outputs.
Connect these outputs to the TRS or XLR input. If possible
use the balanced connectors, so as to avoid interference and
hum. It wont help, however, to connect unbalanced outputs
with balanced inputs. The benefits mentioned above will apply
only when both inputs and outputs are of the balanced type.
+Be sure t mute the signal s urces bef re y u put
the TRUTH int perati n.
Once the TRUTH has been connected as described above,
you can activate the speaker with the POWER switch.
3.2 Level setting
When the TRUTH has been connected properly and switched
on, you can now turn up the console output that feeds the
B2030A/B2031A. Provided you have a signal source connected,
you now hear the audio material as it is played back by the
TRUTH. The INPUT TRIM control on the rear panel is set to
0 dB ex-factory, i.e. unity gain, which is okay when you feed the
TRUTH from a pro-level console. In this case, the TRUTH
automatically operates at maximum level, provided that your
console has been set up correctly and its output is set to 0 dB.
The LIMIT LED helps you control the level. It lights up as
soon as overloading causes one of the internal protections to
respond. The TRUTH doesnt get damaged when the LIMIT LED
lights up with occasional signal peaks. However, please make
sure that it wont light up all the time, because sooner or later this
will activate the thermal protection system and temporarily mute
the built-in amplifiers, to warn you that you are driving the TRUTH
too hard. If so, you can reduce levels either on your console or
using the INPUT TRIM control . If the outputs on your console
dont provide studio-level signals, you can turn up the INPUT
TRIM control. If you connect the TRUTH to the preamp output of
your stereo system, it may also be necessary to raise the level
on the TRUTH itself. To build up a rudimentary stereo system,
you can directly connect the outputs of a CD player to the TRUTHs
inputs, and use the CD player to adjust the volume.

TRUTH B2030A/B2031A
3. APPLICATIONS
+The TRUTH is capable f pr ducing high v lume
levels. Y u sh uld mix y ur rec rdings at m derate
levels, s as t av id listening fatigue and hearing
impairment.
3.3 Speaker placement suggestions
Since the sound of a speaker depends to a great extent on its
surroundings, placing your TRUTH correctly is very important.
Please try to follow these suggestions through. Your efforts will
be rewarded with better sound and higher resolution.
Both speakers are built identically. There is no need to concern
yourself with which speaker should be placed left and which
speaker should be placed right. Place the TRUTH on a flat and
stable surface, if possible use a dedicated speaker stand. In this
way, the speaker is acoustically decoupled and wont induce
vibrations in nearby objects, which would affect the bass
response. If you cannot use a stand, put the TRUTH on spikes or
damping foam material. Another aspect is the distance between
speaker and wall: keep the speaker away from the wall, as this
would emphasize the bass response, particularly in corners,
where two walls form an angle.
The BEHRINGER TRUTH B2030A/B2031A are so-called near-
field monitors, 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.
Fig. 3.1: Incorrect speaker setup
This illustration shows how you shouldnt do it: you can clearly
see that a portion of the sound bounces back from the walls
before it reaches the listeners ears. Thus, direct and reflected
sound waves overlap which results in a coloration of the sound.
Fig. 3.2: 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. Where this is
impossible, place it horizontally as shown in figure 3.3, to allow
for an improved stereo image.
Fig. 3.3: TRUTH setup horizontally
Not only the physical location of speakers but also the acoustic
characteristics of the room have a substantial effect on the way
your TRUTH sounds. Make sure that the room neither sounds too
hall-like nor too dullbasically, neither like a bathroom nor totally
without an echo. You can alter the room acoustics easily by
installing or removing carpets, curtains or furniture. Fabric
covering on the wall opposite the speakers might be a good idea
if the room is too reflective. The next chapter describes how to
adapt the TRUTH to the room acoustics, once it has been set up
properly.
3.4 Adapting the RU H to the room acoustics
This chapter describes how you can use the switches on the
rear of the B2030A/B2031A to adapt the speaker to the acoustics
of your control room. However, you should try to improve a
potentially impaired sound by optimizing the loudspeaker
placement beforehand.
Fig. 3.4: Rear panel legending
If you are still having problems, you could try the following:
The ROOM COMPENSATION switch allows you to lower the
bass range, depending on the speaker position. Ex-factory, the
switch is set to a neutral position. If youve set up the TRUTH
close to the wall or in a corner, try reducing the low-frequency
level in steps of 2 dB. Since every room and speaker setup are
unique in their acoustic properties, we cannot provide more
specific information here. The same applies to the HIGH
FREQUENCY switch , which determines the tweeter level
(between +2 dB and -4 dB). Here too, the best setting depends
on the room acoustics. If you have an additional subwoofer
installed, you can attenuate the TRUTHs lower cutoff frequency
using the LOW FREQUENCY switch . This can be necessary
when adapting the TRUTH to your subwoofer. Trust your own
aural instinct, but dont forget: Listening at high volume levels
over long periods leads to listening fatigue and thus reduces
your ability to judge the sound. Consequently, we recommend
regular pauses to keep your hearing healthy.
As a general rule, you should set up and adjust the TRUTH
with great care. Above all, you should take your time: unlike hi-fi
speakers, the B2030A/B2031A is tuned to produce a neutral
sound, which can be confusing when you are working for the
first time with such a high-quality speaker. Dont try to adjust the
TRUTH with its rear panel switches to produce a bombastic
sound that impresses you or other listeners. To get a feeling for
the TRUTHs sound, you should listen to as many records as
possible that were produced in other studios. We also recommend
that you listen to your own recordings over as many other
systems as possible, for example, your car system. If you find
that your mixes are somewhat dull in their overall sound, the
reason might be too much treble from your TRUTH. On the other
hand, if you set the bass level too high, you will find that your
mixes lack bass power. Tuning a speaker can take several days
time, so once again: take your time!

8
TRUTH B2030A/B2031A
It might be necessary to insert an equalizer between console
and speaker, in particular, if you prefer extreme setups or sound
images. The BEHRINGER ULTRACURVE PRO DEQ2496 has
proven its usefulness in practice, as it is not only a simple equalizer
but also features a real-time analyzer. You can use our measuring
microphone ECM8000 to automatically adapt the TRUTH to your
room or modify its frequency response.
4. INSTALLATION
The BEHRINGER TRUTH features one balanced XLR and one
balanced 1/4" TRS input. If connecting to other equipment is
possible using balanced inputs, always make such connections
because they offer maximal compensation of disturbing signals.
