SolDios Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hey guys.So I'm pretty much done with my audiolines.My original pair lasted quite some time. Unfortunate one of them blew a voice coil last year and it was cheaper to get a new individual one than fix it.Now it seems audioline have "updated" the model and they really just don't cut the mustard anymore.Don't get me wrong. they sound wicked for the price but they just don't last with this new model.Speaker 1: Amp fucked and driver no longer working half way through first gig (Other original fine)Got it replaced.Speaker 2: Fucked again, lasted a whole gig this time (Other original still fine)Got it sent away for a month and repaired.Speaker 2 round 2: Lasted 2 gigs then blew again.I'm sick of this bloody thing. and am going to go to jb and request a refund for it as I have made ample effort to get it replaced. I'm not thrashing the thing at all either, I have a 18" sub to do the work for it anyway I don't need to thrash it.As well as the other original audioline is still pumping along fine.I'm looking at upgrading to these:https://www.storedj.com.au/products/BEH-B615DI have a mate who has the 12" version and they pump hard, and blow the audiolines out of the water.High-power 1500-Watt 2-way PA sound reinforcement speaker system for live and playback applicationsUltra-compact and light weight system delivers excellent sound even at extreme sound pressure levelsRevolutionary Class-D amplifier technology: enormous power, incredible sonic performance and super-light weightInternal switch-mode power supply for noise-free audio, superior transient response and very low power consumptionIntegrated sound processor for ultimate system control and speaker protectionExtremely powerful 15'' long-excursion driver provides incredibly deep bass and acoustic powerState-of-the-art 1.75'' titanium-diaphragm compression driver for exceptional high-frequency reproductionUltra-wide dispersion, large-format exponential hornUltra-low noise Mic/Line input with Volume control and Clip LEDDedicated 2-band EQ for perfect sound adjustmentAdditional Line output allows linking of additional speaker systemsVersatile trapezoidal enclosure design allows different positioning: - Stand mounting with 35-mm pole socket - Tilts on its side for use as a floor monitorErgonomically shaped handles for easy carrying and setupI'm going up a tier to that instead of the low end behringer in the hopes that it will last longer. My 18 sub is solid as a rock.From what it seems the upper end behringer are better than the lower end of the better brands like the mackie thumps and JBL eons.Would you recommend I go down this path or choose a different speaker etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolDios Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Just called Store DJ and they recommend the Alto 15' truesonic over the behringers as they say the behringers are too sharp with the highs.I know our local jb stock the alto's so I might go have a listen. Still unsure about if I should trust them as a brand however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I've used the JBL eons before, and they'd be fine for what you do. I don't rate the behringer PAs much from what i've personally heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupersonicDj Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The thing with the Behringer PA's are that they are great value for money. They are definitely not top of the class in terms of sound quality - Check out the Yamaha DBR series if you want a step up in sound quality. The Behringer systems will however blow any other system in that price range ($300-$600) out of the water. They will never compare to brands like JBL or QSC but can tell you from experience (I own an audio visual equipment hire company) The Behringer speakers are very reliable compared to some other brands. They come with a 3 year warranty from store DJ and can take quite a beating... perfect for mobile DJ gigs etc.If you have any questions surrounding PA equipment shoot me a PM, happy to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichoKidd Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I roll with Behringer's. Have for a while, and I've never had anyone complain that they don't pump. I think if you use your mixer well you can get a really hard sound where the high's aren't TOO sharp but its not a distorted bass. Price is good, but if you can afford more, spend more on something else.Just stay away from the Eurolive stuff and you'll be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolDios Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I hired the QSC the other week and that thing pumped. I will deffs get one as soon as tax return comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
