Product Description
Behringer C210 — Compact Powered Column for Live Sound
The Behringer C210 is a versatile 200W powered column loudspeaker designed for small to medium live-sound applications, presentations, and portable DJ setups. Combining an 8" subwoofer with four high-frequency drivers, the C210 delivers a full-range response with surprising clarity and punch for its size. Built-in Class-D amplification keeps weight down while providing efficient power delivery and reliable performance.
Connectivity is a strong suit: the C210 accepts microphones and instruments via combo XLR/¼" TRS jacks, offers balanced XLR output for daisy-chaining, and supports digital playback from USB sticks and SD/MMC cards. Bluetooth 4.2 streaming lets you wirelessly play backing tracks or playlists from smartphones and tablets up to typical range limits. The front-panel LCD and intuitive controls — including PLAY/PAUSE, MODE, REPEAT, and DSP preset switching — make on-the-fly operation straightforward.
Tone shaping and level control are comprehensive for a single-box solution. Treble and Bass knobs provide ±6 dB shelving adjustment while the encoder LEVEL control handles DSP volume, bass/treble/crossover settings and mute functions. Two independent input level controls plus LINE/INST level and a MASTER volume let you balance wired sources against digital playback. A CLIP LED and internal limiter help protect drivers and preserve sound quality at high levels.
Practical features add to the C210's appeal: remote control for basic transport, an IEC power inlet with region-appropriate fuse ratings, LED lighting, and SD/USB support for MP3 playback (FAT16/FAT32). The compact cabinet and included support for stands or mounts make placement easy for mobile performers and small-venue installers. With a frequency response around 55 Hz–17 kHz and a max SPL of about 106 dB @ 1 m, it handles speech, acoustic instruments, and playback tasks with competence.
Overall, the Behringer C210 is a budget-friendly, feature-rich column speaker ideal for users who need an all-in-one PA with multiple input options, DSP presets, and portable convenience.
