General
The Behringer MEDIA 40USB is a set of two reliable and robust digital monitor speakers. These carefully designed speakers are each equipped with two internal amplifiers - one for the tweeter and one for the woofer. A big advantage of a bi-amp system is that it delivers a super-linear frequency response for a particularly balanced sound. Furthermore, these speakers also give you the option of connecting a digital audio source such as a laptop via USB, or you can connect an analogue audio device via the jack or RCA inputs.
MEDIA 40USB: for media or music
With its pleasant yet powerful 40W sound, the MEDIA 40USB works fantastically as a speaker for your TV, audio installation or computer. It's also a great choice for monitor purposes, particularly if you're looking for a set of clear, basic monitors for making and editing music on the computer. And if you're just getting started and don't have any recording software yet, then you can use the impressively accessible Tracktion 4, which you can download for free after registering your new MEDIA 40USB!
Accessible monitors
The streamlined design of the MEDIA 40USB features a number of interesting extras that prove, once again, that Behringer has an eye for producing practical and affordable products. On the front, you'll find a convenient mini jack input for connecting your headphones, and next to it, you'll find the volume control, which is equipped with an LED ring that indicates the power output level.

The good news is that the active aspect of these is silent with no noise. Turn up the volume to full with no signal from source and the noise is very low indeed. That is really what saved me from worrying about the unbalanced volume knob. They sound good too. I'm currently using them as speakers rather than true monitors and am very pleased as they're obviously streets ahead of PC speakers. They're rear ported so get them up close to wall to improve the bass. The sound detail and stereo image is good but do appreciate you've only got small drivers so don't expect miracles.
So I'd recommend them, but the flaky volume pot took the shine off initially. I had some potential usage ideas for them, and one worked and one won't. They worked directly connected to a Raspberry Pi running as a streaming media player, but I won't be able to use them as an ASIO device on a diy edrum project. Truly versatile though, and handsome enough units too.
Kan hard genoeg voor een klein huisfeestje
maar wanneer op usb aangesloten(vanwege slechte geluidskaart in mijn laptop), is het volume erg hard.
daardoor staat (voor achtergrondmuziek) de volumeknop bijna dicht, en dan is de muziek links en rechts niet goed meer verdeeld, en de muziekkwaliteit is minder.
het is een prachtig setje, met veel volume. maar niet handig voor op het bureau
De reden dat ik dit compact speakersetje heb besteld is omdat ik een simpel speakersetje voor bij de computer nodig had.
(dit is toch wel wat beter om neer te zetten, in plaats van een dikke pa set om naar je muziek te luisteren)
Deze set gaat best hard op de helft van de volume knop!
(in combinatie met MacBook Pro is het plug en play)
Snelle levering
+ punten
Mooi design
Bi amped aangestuurd!
Compact en klein formaat
Goede kwaliteit,
Veel aansluitingen zoals usb, jack in, aux in en tulp in.
Verder nog een koptelefoon out.(direct op de speaker)
- punten
Geen.
Verbeter punten:
Misschien een extra usb kabel bij leveren.
Samenvatting:
Zoek je een simpel en goed klinkend speaker setje voor bij je computer of laptop?
Ik kan deze Media 40USB set zeker aanraden!
Het geluid is prima. Ik had hiervoor een Creative Cambridge set met losse subwoofer. Deze deden het na ruim 14 jaar nog steeds prima, maar ik schuif deze set door naar de kids. Hopelijk gaan deze ook minstens zo lang mee. Qua geluid is de Behringer identiek met als voordeel dat je geen losse subwoofer nodig hebt. Ik mis wel iets in de hoog bij deze speakers en helaas kun je bij deze set de treble en bass dus niet een beetje bijstellen. Goed dat lossen we softwarematig dan maar op.
De speakers vol opendraaien hoeft niet, want als je de volume knop maar iets open draait dan komt er al flink geluid uit. Goed punt van de speakers is dat ze vrij zuiver van klank zijn, dus een MP3 met te hoge compressie vis je er gelijk tussenuit.
+ Mooi design
+ Simpel aan te sluiten
+ 3 Verschillende inputs incl. USB
+ Goed en krachtig geluid
+ Aansluiting voor koptelefoon direct aan de speaker
- Het was netjes geweest als ze een USB kabel mee hadden geleverd
- Geen regeling van treble en bass (bij de duurdere versie geloof ik wel)
