Behringer DR112DSP

Heb van deze serie 2 aangeschaft, heb er geen spijt van. Op advies van een medewerker van Thomann deze besteld. Had ze nog nooit horen spelen maar wat een sound zit er in, fantastisch. Natuurlijk zijn ze er beter maar dan moet je ook dieper in de buidel tasten. Met deze actieve speakers kun je met gemak middelgrote zalen je muziek en/of band ten gehore brengen, Bedankt voor je advies Jan, ben er heel blij mee. Alleen door Corona taferelen helaas nog heel weinig kunnen gebruiken. Voor Cover kun je kiezen voor "the box pro DSP 112 Cover" past als gegoten.

Pros:
- Bass is really solid, can forgo sub in small/medium spaces
- EQ capable of adapting to most situations
- Range of inputs to support karaoke, village fete, fitness class, house party, BBQ, you get the idea...
-Considering price, sound is more than I expected!
-Wants to be played LOUD!

Cons:
- Quite noticeable "hiss", especially with master gain set to 0db. Bluetooth silence also has additional "signal noise & pops/crackles". Frustrating because high master gain is often required... see next point.
- Limiter comes on frequently, at very low output volumes. Hours of playing around, setting inputs to unity, limiter is always overactive if the Master gain is set lower than -10db. example: a fixed input level is limited at -20db, but not at -9db. Limiter comes on less the closer you get to unity on the output gain, but is unfazed by the input signal at the same setting? I don't get it.
- Neither input seems to register a visual "signal" on the DSP display until you turn the master gain past 0db. Is it visualising peak?
- Bluetooth input gain is "fixed" audibly lower than other inputs. Uses master gain so you stuck with using -10db to 0db or more (hisssss) or limiter kicks in. BT Range is more like 5m. A man carried a table between myself and speaker and the connection "broke".
- Aux line in gain uses input 1 gain, yet is audibly much lower volume than input 1 itself. Might make balancing 2Mic and a music track a bit awkward.
-Good looking box, just wish badge was stuck on straight! For what might be considered a cheaper brand, simple details like this go a long way to improve image.
- Wants to be played LOUD, as listening at low levels reveals a few annoyances.

Summary:
- You do get alot for your money. I really can't fault the features and sound volume plus the ability to tweak EQ to my needs is excellent.
-Wouldn't want to lend or rent it out as it needs some attention with the DSP concerning levels and tuning.
-Time will tell if the Limiter "settles down" or if it is actually indicating something is wrong.
