Behringer EUROPOWER EP2000 Brochure

PA Amplifiers

The EP2000 and EP4000 represent

everything musicians love about our

popular EP1500/EP2500—excellent

sound quality, road-worthy toughness

and reliability, low-noise operation

and incredible power. With 2,000 and

4,000-Watts respectively, the EP20

00

and EP4000 amplifiers are perfect for

medium-sized club gigs, mobile PA

systems, church servic

es or public spaces.

Everything you need, nothing you don’t

The über-simple front panel controls

of these amps give you all of your sound’s

vital signs at a glance. After flipping

the MAIN switch, the POWER LED will

light when the amp is ready for action.

Both channels have independent gain

dials as well as clip LEDs that indicate

when the signal is distorted and you need

to reduce the gain. There are also SIGNAL

LEDs that light up when a signal is present

at the input.

Panel discussion

A panel of switches found on the

back panel offers an array of cool

options to apply to both channels of

the EP2000 and EP4000. The Clip Limiter

lets you get even more out of the

amplifier without overdriving either it

or your speaker system. Built-in circuitry

automatically senses when the EP2000 or

EP4000 is being overdriven into “clipping”

and then momentarily reduces the input

level to avoid clipping distortion. This all

happens in a few thousandths of a second,

so it’s an inaudible way of avoiding audible

clipping distortion. Of course, you can turn

the Limiter off if you’re feeling lucky.

Ultra-low frequency sounds

(infrasonics) are caused by rickety stage

vibrations, mic thumps and wind noise.

While technically inaudible, they can

cause a huge drain on amp power,

potential damage to your speakers

and a sludgy sound in the audible

bass ranges. Both EP models feature a

defeatable Low Cut Filter that chops

off unwanted frequencies below

50Hz or 30Hz (depending on your PA

system’s capabilities).

The same panel contains the switches

that allow you to put these amps to

work in either stereo or bridge (mono)

mode. Both the EP2000 and EP4000 can

be linked to additional power amps by

switching into parallel mode.
