The Behringer Eurolive B205D is the smallest and lightest power stage monitor in this list, weighing in at just 7 pounds.

It's equipped with a 5.25" LF driver, and a 150W amplifier. This may seem underpowered compared to the other items on this list. Reviews reveal that the projection of this monitor is just enough for small stages and venues.

It is ideal as a stage monitor for vocalists and keyboardists thanks to its mic stand mountable design.

It's also a great loudspeaker for small-scale public address - just plug a microphone directly into the B205D and you're ready to be heard.

And since it has front-mounted controls, making on-the-fly changes to your sound is possible without the need for a technician's help.

Speaking of controls, the 3-channel mixer gives you mic and line inputs, including RCAs for music players. Another noteworthy feature is the 3-band EQ, which allows for fine-tuning of the sound.

Note that there are a few out-of-the-box defects reported, while some report having problems within a year of buying. These can still be covered by warranty so it's not necessarily a deal breaker. But it would still pay to handle and set up this compact active speaker carefully, specifically when handling the supplied power cord, or when mounting it on a mic stand. You don't want it to fall down during a performance.

If you're looking for cheap monitor speakers, then take a closer look at the B205D.
