Critic Reviews

Behringer Truth B1031A Active Monitors review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Behringer TRUTH B1031A active monitors earn high praise for being an impressive value, delivering solid performance reminiscent of pricier models like KRK's. These monitors impress with their robust bass, wide sweet spot, and detailed sound across genres, making them a steal for budget-conscious musicians. While the bass is well-rounded, and the mid-range detailed, they do have a slight boxiness with some material. Perfect for those who appreciate great sound without breaking the bank, they're especially suited for those who admire KRK but seek a more affordable option.
