Behringer EP1500 +

EUROPOWER EP1500/EP2500

+Running EUROPOWER amplifiers in conjunction with

8-Ohm speakers with a power rating of at least 2 x

260 Watts (EP1500) and 2 x 450 Watts (EP2500) is

recommended to assure optimal operation.

2-channel mode is the most common operating mode of

amplifiers. Both channels operate fully independently from one

another. There is always a separate input signal as well as a

separate output signal.

Examples:

s2-channel (stereo) playback

sTwo independent mono signals, e.g. instrument signal and

monitor mix

sBi-amp operation, whereby bass frequencies are run on

channel 1, and high frequencies on channel 2 (see chapter

3.2, Bi-amping).

Parallel mode is identical to 2-channel mode, except for the

inputs of both channels are internally connected in parallel. One

input signal routes parallel both channels, while their filters etc.

are independently controlled.

Examples:

sA mono signal is fed into both channels, whereby amplifi-

cation of each channel is controlled separately.

sParallel mode (as described above) with connection of an

additional amp via the remaining free input connector. The

input signal is present there, and may be connected to

further equipment.

+When connecting a balanced input signal, please

make sure to exclusively use balanced cables for

passing the signal further on. Otherwise, a single

unbalanced cable can turn the entire signal

unbalanced.
