Ultra-compact and light weight  
Our EUROLIVE 1,200-Watt NEO Series  
which drive the low- and high-frequency  
transducers to their limits without  
even the slightest hint of distortion.  
Best of all, our Class-D amplifiers use  
SMPS (Switch-Mode Power Supplies),  
which don’t need massive transformers  
and heat sinks, making the NEO Series  
ultracompact and highly-efficient.  
plastic composite material provides  
excellent sound even at extreme  
sound pressure levels:  
active loudspeakers are destined to  
become the new standard in high-quality  
live sound reproduction. Packed with  
1,200 Watts of biamped Class-D output  
and SMPS (Switch-Mode Power Supplies),  
these brutes provide massive low-end  
punch, with the kind of high-fidelity  
definition and clarity typically reserved  
for much larger systems. NEO Series  
loudspeakers provide the best power-  
to-weight ratio of any speaker system  
we’ve created to date!

Extremely powerful and light weight  
12"/15"/12" neodymium woofer  
provides incredibly deep bass and  
acoustic power  
Put simply, these cool-running systems  
provide more Watts per pound, making  
them easy to transport and set up.  
Our no-compromise design means you get  
solid punchy bass, along with powerful  
mids and pristine highs that will keep the  
party going all night long.

B812NEO  
First, let’s establish one thing—both  
models put out plenty of bass. But physics  
are physics and a 15" low frequency  
transducer has almost 40% more surface  
area with which to move air than a 12".  
So with a 15" loudspeaker, you can move  
more air with the same amount of power  
and generate more bass.  
or you want to crank it up louder, then  
the B815NEO may be a better choice.  
Up to a point…  
The larger a room’s cubic volume,  
the more energy is required to achieve  
any given desired level of bass. In other  
words, when playing the same music  
in a big room versus a small room,  
Instant PA System  
With just a single NEO loudspeaker system and  
one or two dynamic microphones, you can set  
up an instant sound system. The onboard mixer  
features a LEVEL control for each input and a  
dual-band master EQ, complete with an adjustable  
Low Cut filter to help eliminate annoying breath  
pops and mic handling noise. An additional filter,  
which we call Contour, allows you to select Speech  
(for enhanced voice intelligibility), or Music for the  
broader frequency range required for the high-  
fidelity reproduction of music. And if you need  
more coverage, you can chain together as many as  
you like via the convenient LINE OUT XLR connector.  
If you’re amplifying a sales presentation big room = less bass; small room = more  
with a single mic in the boardroom, or an  
acoustic guitar at the coffee house, the  
B812NEO or B912NEO will probably be  
all the speaker system you’ll ever need.  
But if your music has more bass in it —  
bass. For really large performances or  
venues, you may find that you will need to  
add subwoofers to your setup to achieve  
the desired level of bass impact. But more  
on that later…

Low Frequency Response  
1.75"  
The EUROLIVE NEO Series was built with  
extended low frequency handling in mind.  
Thanks to a tuned port, internally braced,  
injection-molded enclosure, each model’s  
custom-designed LF (Low Frequency) transducer  
really cranks out tight bottom end. Keep in mind  
that bass response varies according to LF transducer  
size, so the larger the speaker, the more bass you  
will be able to generate.

Why Are There Two 12" Versions  
in the Neo Series?  
From a technical and functional aspect, the  
B812NEO and B912NEO are identical. They have  
exactly the same amplifiers, transducers, DSP,  
frequency response and basic construction.  
The B912NEO is designed for applications where  
a more conservative appearance may be desired,  
such as in churches, restaurants, businesses, etc.

Is your venue a huge auditorium or a tiny club?

MIC/LINE 2 input to connect the monitor  
signal from the PA mixing console, so that  
you can also hear the other members  
of your band. This opens up lots of  
possibilities. If you want to use more  
than two instruments, you will need a  
submixer (e.g. XENYX X1204USB) to mix  
down the signals to one feed.  
Cutoff switch that puts the system into  
standby mode when no signal is detected  
for more than three (3) minutes.  
Value  
When it comes to serious bang for your  
buck, it’s hard to beat the NEO Series—and  
the sound quality is second to none! Stop  
by your BEHRINGER dealer today, compare  
them to the competition and find out how  
easy it is to take home a pair.  
More Than Just a PA Loudspeaker...  
When laid on their side, NEO Series loudspeakers  
tilt to the ideal angle for onstage monitor wedge  
applications. Hookup is simple, requiring only a  
single cable from the monitor send on the mixing  
console and, of course, power. Additional monitors  
can be chained together via the XLR LINE OUT jack  
on the loudspeaker’s rear panel.  
Conservation of Energy  
Because of the NEO Series’  
high-efficiency Class-D amplifier  
and switch-mode power supply  
technology, these loudspeakers waste  
less energy than conventional active  
systems, putting out more sound and  
generating significantly less heat!  
For even more energy conservation,  
each NEO loudspeaker has a handy Timed  
For a rump-shaking romp into sonic  
wonderland, team up a pair of NEO Series  
loudspeakers with our amazing new  
active subwoofers, the B1500D-PRO  
or B1800DPRO. Be sure to check with  
local authorities to make sure you’re  
nowhere near a seismic fault. These babies  
really rock!  
NEO Series loudspeakers also make excellent  
onstage monitors for keyboards, acoustic guitars,  
or any line-level instrument for that matter. You can  
plug your instrument into MIC/LINE 1 and use the
