Custom-Designed Transducers
The transducers (woofers and tweeters)
are the only part of a sound system you
actually hear, so we don’t cut corners.
We custom-design and build our transducers
from scratch. Not only do we wind our own
voice coils—we even process the paper pulp
into cones and machine our own back plates.
This enables us to control the quality,
and frankly, make better components.
Take Control
The VQ1800D and VQ1500D feature
balanced XLR inputs and outputs, as well
as balanced XLR Thru jacks for connecting
additional enclosures. A Boost Frequency
knob targets a frequency between 40 Hz
and 90 Hz. Flick the Boost switch to give
your selected frequency a +6 dB boost.
These subs also feature a High Cut dial
to control the upper corner frequency
(70 – 150 Hz) for the subwoofer’s amplier.
The High Cut dial does not aect the Thru
or Output signals, only the signals directed
to the subwoofer. A Level knob controls
theInput gain, and the Phase switch
reverses output phase to compensate
for frequency cancellation between the
subwoofer and satellite speakers. LEDs
show operational status at a glance,
including Power, Signal present and Limit.
Which Speaker Do I Need?
As you have probably noticed, we make
VQ Series subwoofers in two dierent
woofer sizes. Which one is right for you?
Bass speakers, such as the kind used in
subwoofers, create punch and impact by
moving air. An 18" woofer has about 30%
more surface area than a 15", so it can
move a much larger column of air. If you’re
running sound for a small jazz combo in a
nightclub, a single VQ1500D might be all
you’ll need. But, if you’re providing a pulse-
pounding dance mix to a large standing
room only crowd, you might need a pair of
VQ1800Ds, or more to get the job done.
Value
Power, portability and amazing
sound quality; you get it all with the
EUROLIVE VQ1800D/VQ1500D—at an
equally amazing price. Check out these
low-frequency marvels at your BEHRINGER
dealer or order them from you favorite
online retailer. The experience will
move you!
