4.0 out of 5 stars
Behringer does it again with great design\value combined with unbelievable oversight in a key area!, January 31, 2006
This review is from: Behringer Monitor1C Ultra Compact Monitor Speakers (Pair) (Electronics)
Absolutely astonishing! The detail and stereo image nearly knocked me off the chair!! I'm currently using Tannoy Reveal passive monitors and those will be my B monitor system, The 1C's being 1st. I had a relatively good experience with the M-audio DX4 monitors but found the level of detail and stereo image a big disappointment. However, the level a bass was a much better than the 1Cs. On the Berhringer's, the bass response is surprisingly very weak. I am using them in combination with a 12' sub so this is not a problem. However, reports from the Truth series monitors reveal that the "pumping and woofing " effect is also present on the 1Cs especially 100-90 hz and lower. And a huge setback is that the 1Cs ARE NOT SHEILDED!!! HUGE design flaw as these can't be placed anywhere near computer monitors. This being said, these are still one hell of a speaker. The fact that these are passive may be a problem for some but with minimal amplification, these monitors are a winner! Very impressed indeed and would highly recommend them. Beware though that again, Behringer makes no mention of the lack of magnetic shielding which is almost a standard now in the age of digital recording.
