Behringer 2030A or 2031A how do I adapt XLR or TRS to speaker wire?

[Titleist1]

I've been looking into the 2030A or 2031A for use upstairs in my living room. Sitting 8 feet from TV using an older Yamaha receiver for 2 channel TV and listening.

The Behringer site depicts Servo-balanced inputs with XLR and ¼" TRS connectors.


How do I go about hooking them up to my standard speaker wire connections on the receiver?

Aren't those the amplified monitors? You can't connect them to the receiver's speaker output- that's not what the that kind of input is for. You need to look at the non-amplified speakers. XLR is always preamp/line level and TRS usually is, although some people use it for speaker connections when they should use something else. There's another connector called Speakon but the Behringer 2030 and 2031 don't use them- these have binding posts. You need to look at the B2030P and B2031P.

The speakers have got an active crossover with a pair of amplifiers in each cabinet for each driver. This removes the passive crossover and brings a range of modest advantages. In order to understand the connection options I would suggest downloading the manual from Behringer's site (forum will not let me post a link).

Behringer also sell some speakers with passive crossovers.

Ok, I see my problem now. I looked at the pictures of the 2030A and 2031A and assumed the 2030P and 2031P were the same connections. Silly me. Thanks for clarifying my mis-step.
