Detail 01
8-inch woofer, 65Hz low end
Voice and acoustic guitar sit right. Kick drum and bass guitar will sound thin without a sub underneath.

BehringerEUROLIVE B208D 200W 8" Powered Speaker
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 200W powered 8-inch PA speaker for small rooms — solo acoustic sets, spoken word, a monitor wedge, or background music at low volume.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Coffeehouse acoustic gigs and open mics under 50 people
- Meeting rooms, classrooms, and small presentations needing a speech box
- A floor monitor or side-fill for a singer on a small stage
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bands with live drums — an 8-inch woofer runs out of low end
- Outdoor gigs or rooms over 100 people, where 113dB peak falls short
- DJ or dance music needing usable bass below 65Hz
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
38W RMS, 42W peak at 8 ohms
The real continuous output is modest despite the 200W label. Treat it as a small-room box, not a main.
Detail 03
113dB max SPL at 1 meter
Loud enough to cover a room of conversation, but it will compress if you push it past a small crowd.
Detail 04
Input sensitivity −40dBu to +4dBu
Takes a mic straight in or a line signal from a mixer, so you can run one mic without a board.
Detail 05
XLR input, +22dBu max
Wired for balanced cable runs. Long cable runs stay quiet, but you need XLR, not instrument cable.
Detail 06
Optical limiter and processor-controlled EQ
Clamps the signal before the amp clips, so hard transients get squashed rather than distorting.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No speaker stand, pole mount hardware, or cables included — budget for XLR and a stand
- 02Uses a standard IEC power cable; voltage version is region-specific, so check yours
- 03One box covers a mono source only; a stereo pair means buying two
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this loud enough for a full band?
No. At 38W continuous through an 8-inch woofer, it will not keep up with live drums or a bass rig. Use it for voice, acoustic instruments, or as a monitor.
02Do I need a mixer with this?
Not always. The input takes anything from mic level (−40dBu) to line level (+4dBu), so a single mic or a phone via an adapter can go straight in.
03Can I use it as a stage monitor?
Yes. It is powered, so it only needs signal and wall power. Its size and 113dB peak suit a single performer's wedge on a small stage.
04How low does it go?
65Hz. That covers vocals, acoustic guitar and most program material. Kick drum, synth bass and electric bass will need a subwoofer.
