Hi there!What do you think about buying Behringer speakers.They are very good for mixing,aren`t they?
A friend of mine has said to me that when you listen a CD with them,you can hear such a clear sound that it seems that you can listen to each isntrument which plays on the CD.
If somebody has experience with Behringer speakers it would be very nice of you to wirte your oppinions about them.

I have a pair of the powered monitors. I think they sound fantastic. They offer super clarity and excellent bass response. I have noticed that I can mix quite a lengthy period before I experience ear fatigue. So overall they are nice speakers and well worth the money. Especially now. I have seen them for around $400.00 per pair. Good luck
 
balls1299,

How well are your mixes translating to other speakers (ie. car, boombox, home stereo)? I'm about ready to drop some money for a set of monitors myself, and have narrowed it down to either the Behringer's or the Event PS-6's (limited budget), so I'm absorbing whatever I can find out about either of these. I've listened to both at the music stores, but not at the same store so couldn't do a side by side comparison.

Thanks.

I go direct from my sound card(digi 001) to the monitors. I have no special EQ for them. So essentially, I am monitoring flat except for the coloring the room adds. With that monitoring environment in mind, the mixes transfer quite well to other playback units. Like I mentioned, I really like them and I have heard rumors that they stand up quite well to the Mackie powered monitors which are @$1200.00/pr.
 
I forgot to mention that the best way to work with new monitors, regardless of which you buy is to listen to CD's or mixes you're very familiar with so you get an idea of what qualities your monitors have and how your room affects the program material. I spent a few weeks just listening to stuff before I started mixing and then I did a lot of test mixing, burning to disk, running to my car and boom box and then fixing. Regardless of what you get, you will have to do that. It's actually kind of fun though. Consider it ear training...
 
Behringer Truth

I have had mine for about 3 weeks. First impressions while opening the box was how heavy they were, 30 lbs each. I have driven them to painful levels with no clipping. They are rated at 150W to the 8.75" Long Throw Woofer and 75W to the Tweeter. The sound spectrum seems to be flat across the board. They can be fine tuned for room acoustics and they are supposedly a matched pair. I paid $398 for the pair at 8th Street Music.

I am an extreme novice at recording, but it was an immediate improvement to the final mixedowns I was making using some Peavy sp5's and at times using headphones. What sounded good during mixdown sucked on jamboxes, car and home stereos. The mixes I hear on the Truth's sound good when played back on stereo equipment. You do need to listen to your favorite CD's to get an idea of how to listen to the mix. Listening to a flat response takes getting used to, but the Truths add nothing to the sound. What you hear is what you get.

I know a lot of people trash Behringer products, but the two products I own are great. I have the B2 microphone. It is so much better sounding on vocals than the 58's I was using. It has a little bit of a mid high boost to the sound, but overall it is very warm and at $199 which included case and shockmount, can't be beat.:)
