General

This Behringer VQ1500D subwoofer makes the ideal addition to your club or DJ set if you're looking for some serious bass for your sound. It's equipped with a number of professional features that ensure a lot of bass with a good punch, while your sound maintains plenty of definition and clarity. This subwoofer is driven by a digital amplifier, which means that you'll get truck loads of sound without having to break your back to transport it. To be specific, the VQ1500D weighs just over 30 kg, making it a cinch to transport.

Behringer VQ1500D: 'Homemade' speakers

The speakers featured in the VQ1800D subwoofer are made completely by Behringer. They wind their own voice coils, make their own cones from paper pulp and produce all of the other speaker components. This means that Behringer has full control over the entire process from start to finish, resulting in better speakers. Furthermore, the VQ1800Ds are driven by a 500W class D amplifier. This digital amplifier functions very efficiently, meaning there's very little loss of power due to heat conversion. Such efficiency keeps the system quite cool and makes expensive, interference-sensitive ventilators unnecessary. In the end, Behringer's design and production process provides you with a lighter, cooler, quieter system. Well, quieter until it's time to pump some bass!

Extensive Settings Control

The VQ1500D is equipped with a variety of features that put the control in your hands. For one thing, this subwoofer is equipped with balanced XLR connectors on all inputs and outputs, so you don't have to worry about signal loss. Besides that, you'll also find an adjustable boost knob which allows you make a given frequency more powerful. Switching on the boost gives the frequency in question (between 40 and 90 Hz) a boost of 6 dB, for a bone-rattling bass! Indicate the crossover point for the high frequencies with the high-cut control, which will only effect the signal of the subwoofer and not signals of the thru or full-range outputs. Finally, a volume control and a phase switch are provided so you canadjust the subwoofer precisely to your taste.

Behringer VQ1500D Active Subwoofer
Wrote the following about Behringer VQ1500D Active Subwoofer
What an outstanding sub.. great value for money to the point of actually making another purchase, this sub has brought my tops alive taking away some of their pain.



Overall I was deeply impressed with the sound reproduction and also how tight it sounded, this sub has a kind of richness to it and not so much a punchy a sound but a very powerful unstressed one, to be perfectly honest I was pleasantly surprised



Construction wise again very impressed with it and also the easy to grip handles.

Oh wow, what a sub! Actually running this as a studio sub. It's tight and punchy, despite that huge bass cone. Certainly has the power to shake the room when cranked, but impressively accurate and insightful in a studio context.



The build quality appears rugged, although the frequency cut control knob is a little flimsy... time will tell on that (not something I'm going to touch really, so shouldn't matter I hope).



Quite a chunky sub, but not too heavy. Handles are very solid and make moving it easy.



Can't get over how well this handles fast and precise bass in electronic music. It's a fraction of the price of a decent hifi sub and quite frankly makes the Elac sub it's replacing seem utterly outclassed.

I got 2 of these subs and wow what an amazing pair they are the construction is solid and the power output is great they really complement my tops. I find that if I set the volume to 3/4 there is loads of volume and they don't clip if you put it up to full there is a possibility of clipping if you run your mixer output hot.

fantastic subs for a fantastic price.

Caisson de basse avec une belle finition, une très bonne qualité de son mais un limiteur un peut trop sensible.

Arrivato in tempi più che ragionevoli di 3gg, purtroppo quando siamo andati per provarlo in una sala suona davvero molto male, poca potenza, poca spinta e audio che suona distorto, in quanto a mio parere sembra come se avesse l'amplificatore interno guasto. Ho richiesto la pratica di reso per evidente non funzionamento del SUB stesso. Al momento sono indeciso se chiedere la sostituzione con un modello simile o optare per altro prodotto. Peccato.

Bonjour, est-il possible de l'utiliser comme une enceinte passive ? C'est a dire la relier a des amplificateur ? Ou alors une enceinte active ne pas être géré par un ampli ?

More Bass with QSC K Cardioid Subwoofer and E Series

Thursday 12 January 2017 By Lizanne

With a regular subwoofer, you can often lose low tones. QSC has found the solution to that problem and named it the K Cardioid. They plan to officially launch this active sub at the 2017 NAMM show next week. It has a cardioid directional pattern at its core which effectively prevents low frequencies from escaping via the rear or sides of the cabinet, resulting in more bass and a higher sound pressure level!
