Ultra-light, Built on a Legacy

Power amps have always been heavy, mainly because of their massive transformers and heat sinks. Our new EPX Series amps are based on groundbreaking switch-mode power supply technology, which eliminates the heavy transformer. As a result, these amps weigh about 40% less than their conventional counterparts. In fact, the EPX2800 and EPX4000 are just 22.3 lbs (10.1 kg) each, so you can practically lift them with just one finger. Best of all, EPX Series amps are super-reliable and provide even tighter bass performance than their predecessors, since they can deliver ultra-high peak currents on demand.

In a Class of Their Own

The secret to the EPX Series’ incredible power-to-weight ratio is the use of a switch-mode power supply combined with Class-H topology. Because they

work on demand, instead of operating continuously at full power, switch-mode power supplies are much more efficient than traditional power supplies.

And since they don’t require the massive transformers and heat sinks typically found in conventional power amps, they are significantly smaller and lighter, yet still deliver ample power.

Think of a Class-H amp as being similar to a car with two engines (in amps, we call them “rails”). One engine runs all the time. The other runs only when musical peaks demand the extra power output. An EPX Class-H amp only generates a fraction more power than is immediately needed, while the output stage operates at its maximum efficiency all the time. And just like in today’s hybrid cars, the efficiency of this dual system is far greater than having just one engine or rail that has to operate continuously.

EPX2800, EPX4000 specifications

Behringer is a renowned name in the audio equipment industry, particularly known for creating powerful amplifiers suitable for various applications. Two notable models in Behringer's lineup are the EPX4000 and the EPX2800, both of which are designed to provide exceptional sound quality and reliability for live sound settings, installations, and studio use.

The Behringer EPX4000 is a 2-channel power amplifier that delivers an impressive output of 2,000 watts per channel at 4 ohms, making it ideal for driving high-demand loudspeakers and providing the necessary power for large venues. The EPX2800, on the other hand, is slightly less potent, offering 1,400 watts per channel at 4 ohms. Both models feature a lightweight, durable design, making them easy to transport and install without sacrificing performance.

One of the main features shared by both the EPX4000 and EPX2800 is their advanced circuitry. Behringer has incorporated a high-speed MOSFET output stage and a microprocessor-controlled system that ensures optimal performance under various operating conditions. This technology enhances the overall fidelity and can handle dynamic peaks in sound without distortion, making them perfect for audio professionals who demand clarity and power.

Additionally, both amplifiers come equipped with a comprehensive protection circuit that safeguards against overheating, overloading, and short circuits. This ensures longevity and reliability, even during extended use at high output levels. They also feature robust heat sinks and a fan cooling system that keeps the temperatures down while maintaining consistent performance.

The user-friendly interface is another highlight of both models. With XLR inputs and Speakon outputs, connection to a wide range of audio systems is seamless. Both models also include level controls for each channel, allowing engineers to easily adjust the output according to the venue's needs.

In terms of characteristics, the EPX amplifiers are designed for versatility. They can be used in various applications, including live concerts, DJ sets, and fixed installations like theaters or auditoriums. The combination of power, reliability, and advanced features makes the Behringer EPX4000 and EPX2800 stand out as excellent choices for audio professionals looking to elevate their sound experience without breaking the bank.
