Behringer Eurolive VQ1500D Active Subwoofer

Behringer Eurolive VQ1500D — 500W Active Subwoofer for PA Systems

The Behringer Eurolive VQ1500D is a 500-Watt active subwoofer built to add chest-pounding low end to any PA rig. A 15" long-excursion transducer delivers accurate bass from 40 Hz to 200 Hz, with a built-in 100 Hz stereo crossover that splits the signal cleanly between sub and tops.

Built-In Stereo Crossover and Tunable Bass Boost

Unlike many subs in this tier, the VQ1500D ships with an active stereo crossover that high-pass filters its outputs at 100 Hz for full-range tops. A switchable Bass Boost (40–90 Hz, +10 dB) dials in kick-drum weight on the fly. The internal switch-mode power supply keeps the cabinet light, while the rugged steel grille survives the road.

Driver and Amplifier — Headroom for Small-to-Mid Venues

The 15" long-excursion LF transducer pairs with a 500-Watt Class-D amplifier, producing up to 122 dB SPL.

• LF Transducer: 15" long-excursion — high-temperature voice coil for accurate bass
• Amplifier: 500 W Class-D — over-excursion, thermal, and clip-limit protection
• Max SPL: 122 dB (Full Space, 1 W @ 1 m) — headroom for small clubs

Crossover and EQ Shaping — Match Any Satellite

Splitting the signal at 100 Hz, the built-in active stereo crossover sends high-pass filtered outputs to your tops. A variable High Cut (70–150 Hz) and tunable Bass Boost (40–90 Hz, +10 dB) tune the sub to the room.

• Crossover Frequency: 100 Hz high-pass on outputs — clean handoff to tops
• High Cut Range: 70–150 Hz — dial in the upper corner
• Bass Boost: +10 dB switchable, 40–90 Hz tunable — adds kick weight

I/O, Power, and Road-Ready Build

Balanced XLR inputs, XLR Thru jacks, and high-pass filtered XLR outputs give flexible routing for any setup. A pole socket on top accepts standard spacer poles.

• Inputs/Outputs: Balanced XLR Inputs A/B, Thru A/B, Output A/B — works with any mixer
• Power Supply: Internal switch-mode — low noise, low consumption
• Cabinet: Steel grille, recessed handles, pole socket — engineered in Germany
