Before you get started1.1
Shipment1.1.1
The TRUTH was carefully packed at the factory to assure secure
transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that
damage may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately
and look for physical indications of damage.
Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. +
Please inform the dealer from whom you acquired the
unit immediately as well as the transportation company
from which you took delivery of the unit. Otherwise,
all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered
invalid.
Initial operation1.1.2
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufcient ventilation,
and never place the TRUTH on top of an amplier or in the vicinity
of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.
Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please +
make sure you have selected the correct voltage:
The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three
triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite one
another. The voltage indicated adjacent to these markings is the
voltage to which your unit has been set up, and can be altered by
rotating the fuse compartment by 180°.
Caution
This does not apply to export models that were for ex- +
ample manufactured only for use with 120 V!
If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the fuse +
accordingly. The correct value of the fuse needed can
be found in the chapter "Specications".
Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate +
rating without exception! The correct value of the fuses
needed can be found in the chapter "Specications".
Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All requi-
ered safety precautions have been adhered to.
Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times. +
For your own protection, you should never tamper with
the grounding of the cable or the unit itself.
The sound quality may diminish within the range of pow- +
erful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources.
Increase the distance between the transmitter and the
device and use shielded cables for all connections.

Introduction1.
Congratulations! With our new BEHRINGER TRUTH you have
purchased one of the best high-resolution active studio monitors
available. It is a tool that reproduces your program material with
highest delity and balance, positioning sound sources accurately
on the stereo basis.
The TRUTH features two separate ampliers for bass and high
frequencies, sporting loads of power reserve. On the bass end,
a long-excursion woofer embedded in a sturdy cast-aluminum
casing springs into action. The scope is broadened downward
by using a special bass reex system. In the upper frequency
range, a specially developed dome tweeter provides for subtle
signal reproduction. The chassis and the ampliers are protected
from overload using a sophisticated circuitry. The speakers are
magnetically shielded, so you can use your TRUTH near computer
monitors or TV sets. The audio signal is separated using an active
crossover that guarantees accurate frequency separation and
perfect tuning of both speakers among each other.
We recommend that you experiment with your TRUTH away from
the pressures of a recording session, in order to get a feel for it. It
will be a good idea to listen to your favorite CD’s over the TRUTH,
so that you can get an impression of the neutral sound this speaker
produces—which might be somewhat unusual at rst!
The following user’s manual is intended to familiarize +
you with the unit’s control elements, so that you can
master all the functions. After having thoroughly read
the user’s manual, store it at a safe place for future
reference.
Caution
The TRUTH is capable of producing extreme volumes. +
Please bear in mind, that high sound pressures do not
only temporarily damage your sense of hearing, but can
also cause permanent damage. Be careful to select a
suitable volume.
