Product Description
The B-52 Matrix 2000 Speaker Sound System consists of 2 - 12" 2-way speakers, an 18" subwoofer with a 3-channel amplifier, and circuitry housed in a separate compartment on the sub unit's back. A 600W amp drives the subs, and 2 - 300W amps drive the 2-ways. All of the components are matched for the best possible sound and balance with minimal tweaking. All you have to do is connect the B-52 Matrix 2000 system components, plug in the power cord, plug in your mixer or other sound source, and you're ready to go!The B-52 subwoofer enclosure is divided into 2 separate compartments. The front chamber serves as the cabinet for the cast-frame, 4" voice coil and 18" subwoofer. The rear chamber houses all of the system's electronic circuitry, which includes the amplification for all 3 components, power supply, compressor, and preamps. The B-52 subwoofer has a power handling capability of 600W and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms.Each 12" 2-way Matrix 2000 speaker is loaded with a B-52 custom-designed 12" woofer and a 1" titanium diaphragm compression driver, mounted to a 90 x 40 constant directivity horn. The speakers can be pole mounted, used as stage monitors, or flown with built-in 3/8"16 TPI hardware for permanent installations. For transport, they mount onto the subwoofer's front grille. Transporting the B-52 Matrix system is easy: Move the subwoofer onto its casters and place the included cover over the subwoofer. Next, pull the included covers over the satellite speakers and close the zippers. It is recommended that you transport the subwoofer and satellites separately. You may transport all the components at the same time by placing the satellite speakers onto the subwoofer's front panel facing down. Secure the satellite speakers to the subwoofer with the included locking strap by fastening it to the bar handles on the side of the subwoofer cabinet.The B-52 Matrix 2000 Speaker Sound System has a limited lifetime warranty on cabs and compression drivers; 5-year warranty o

Blown Away
By Manny
I tested this system at home and it, literally, shook the entire house! The music is crystal clear at any volume and the bass is never muddy. I like the fact that this system is perfectly matched (amps, crossovers, speakers) and that it is scalable (you could get a 2nd system and run one system on the left and the other one the right). Other brands have nothing on these.

WOWWW!!! AMAZING BASS!!!! NICE MIDS AND HIGHS!!!
By Emin Stepanian
PRO'S:I DEMOED THESE AT MY LOCAL RETAIL SHOP AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING... THESE ARE BY FAR THE BEST SOUNDING SET UP I HAVE HEARD IN MY LIFE!!! I LOVE BASS HEAVY MUSIC FROM ROCK, UK HARD HOUSE, HARD TRANCE... AND RAP. USUALLY SPEAKERS HAVE A CERTAIN "TYPE" OF MUSIC THAT THEY ARE GOOD FOR. ACCORDINGLY YOU BUY THE SYSTEM AND TRY TO COME CLOSE TO WHICH EVER TYPE YOU LIKE. WELL THERE IS NO COMPROMISE WITH THESE "BAD BOYS" THEY WILL DISH OUT CLEANNNN!!! SOUND NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC YOU THROW AT IT. I DEMOED MANY DIFFERENT TYPE OF SONGS FROM RAP, HARD UK, 80'S AND SOME FLAMINGO JAZZ. I WAS BLOWN AWAY AT THE CLEARITY OF THE SUBS. I STOOD AT THE STORE TRYING TO FIND SOME KIND OF MUSIC MATERIAL THAT DID NOT SOUND GOOD ON THESE BUT 1 AND HALF HOURS LATER I WAS SOLD THAT THESE ARE HEAVEN SENT. THEY PUT OUT MUSICAL NOTES NOT BUMP,THUMP AND THUD... EVERY BASS NOTE IS ARTICULATED DETAILED AS I EVER HEARD BEFORE. I'VE STOPPED DROOLING NOW AND CAN'T WAIT FOR MY SET TO ARRIVE... PS ALL THE POWER YOU NEED TO RUN THE SYSTEM IS CONTAINED IN THE SUBWOOFER CABINET. JUST HOOK UP THE XLR'S FROM YOU MIXER AND THE SUBWOOFER BRANCES OUT TO THE (2) 12" MONITORS WITH A TITANIUM MID AND TWEET SET UP... 1200 WATTS TOTAL (2)300 GOING TO THE MONITORS AND (1)600 RUNNING THE BASS!!!CONS:AFTER EXPERIENCING THE DETAIL AND CLARITY IN BASS YOU WILL NOTICE THE FLAWS IN OTHER SPEAKER SET UPS BY OTHER COMPANIES. HOPE MY REVIEW IS HELPFULL THANK YOU "DJ M N S"

Five years and running!
By Dennis J. Barela
OK, I have to say that I own both the Matrix 2000 and the 1000-V2. I have used them for my mobile DJ business for over 5 years and they are still sounding great and take hours upon hours of abuse without breaking a sweat. I have to say that the 2000 sounds a bit better than the 1000-V2. (No, it's not just a volume thing) However, I find that most jobs only need the 1000-V2 which is easier to get around. Bigger crowds or venues get the 2000. Even bigger jobs get custom setups with 10s of thousands of watts but I digress. Again MOST DJ jobs will do fine with the 1000-V2. I have been a singer/songwriter/guitarist as well as a live and recording engineer and producer for over 30 years. You do not need excess beyond what these can do for most gigs. Still, choose the 2000 if you just gotta have the extra power but prepared to lug the 285 pounds around. Even musicians who use these will probably have the benefit of further sound reinforcement from the venue (for very large crowds) so no more is needed. I do have to say that about a year ago I noticed my 2000's cooling fans did not come on. I still ran it all night. It got a little warm but never shut down. That Monday I contacted B-52 and the great customer service reps offered to service it for me. However, wanting to do it myself, they sent me complete instructions by email on where and how to locate and replace (upgrade) the internal fuse that blew. The next time I used it I was nervous but it ran at high volumes for over 8 hours straight with no problems. To date, it still rocks hard! You cannot find a better warranty out there these days either!
