Behringer TRUTH 5 BT Black Active Studio Monitor

Bi-Amped 5.25" Studio Monitor with Wireless Reference Playback

The Behringer TRUTH 5 BT is an audiophile-grade active studio monitor built for project studios, edit suites and creator desks where mix accuracy matters as much as convenience. A 5.25" cone woofer pairs with a silk-dome tweeter in a bi-amped Class D configuration, extending low-end reach beyond smaller near-fields. Integrated Bluetooth 5.0 turns the same pair into a wireless reference system for streaming tracks from a phone or laptop.

What Sets This Monitor Apart

What makes this model stand out is the marriage of an Advanced Waveguide-loaded silk-dome tweeter with a true bi-amped Class D power stage. The waveguide shapes the tweeter's dispersion so the stereo image stays locked across a wider sweet spot, while separate amplifiers keep the woofer and tweeter from sharing a single power supply. Bluetooth 5.0 sits in the same monitoring path as the analog inputs rather than being treated as a gimmick.

Driver Geometry — Why Size Matters in a Near-Field

A larger cone moves more air, giving a near-field monitor the chest and weight smaller cabinets struggle to reproduce. Up top, the silk-dome tweeter keeps the high end smooth.

• LF Driver: 5.25" cone — extended low-end reach and fuller body for full-range material.
• HF Driver: silk dome — smooth, fatigue-free top end for long mix sessions.

Bi-Amped Class D Power — Headroom Without Heat

Class D amplification runs cool and efficient, so the cabinet can sit closer to a wall or under a monitor bridge without heating the room. Bi-amping gives the woofer and tweeter their own dedicated amplifier channels, so each driver receives the power and damping it needs. The result is tighter transient response on the low end and a cleaner top end at higher levels.

• Amplification: Class D, bi-amped — separate amps for low and high drivers, cool-running efficiency.

Inputs and Room Correction — Fit the Monitor to the Room

Every studio sounds different, and a monitor that ignores the room will never translate. Rear-panel HF and LF trim controls let the user dial the response to compensate for boomy desks or untreated corners. The input panel accepts balanced TRS, unbalanced RCA and a 3.5 mm jack, covering tracking, mixing and casual listening.

• Inputs: 6.3 mm TRS balanced, 3.5 mm TRS, RCA — covers audio interface, media player and portable sources.
• EQ / Room Trim: HF and LF trim controls — tune the response to the room instead of the other way around.
• Wireless: Bluetooth 5.0 — streaming for reference playback from any mobile device.

Right Pair for Project Studios and Creator Setups

The Behringer TRUTH 5 BT is the right choice for project-studio engineers, beatmakers and content creators who need a single pair of monitors that handles tracking, mixing and casual playback with equal confidence. Producers in untreated bedrooms will appreciate the HF and LF trim. Podcasters and video editors benefit from Bluetooth streaming, which lets a phone send reference audio without re-routing the interface. Anyone stepping up from a 3.5" or 4.5" near-field will hear the difference the larger 5.25" cone makes on kick drums.

The TRUTH Series — Reference Monitoring for the Home Studio

Behringer's TRUTH series has long targeted the home and project-studio market with reference monitors designed to deliver honest playback at accessible prices. The latest entry continues that lineage with the same forensic, ultra-linear character the family is known for, now extended with Bluetooth 5.0 streaming. Advanced Waveguide technology is shared across the TRUTH family, giving every model a consistent stereo image as users scale up from 3.5" to 5.25".
