1. Introduction

By purchasing one of the BEHRINGER EUROPOWER amplifiers, you have selected a piece of high-end gear. This unit was developed for professional use in live applications, and its rich list of features will make it a dependable part of your equipment with a diverse set of possible uses.

The EUROPOWER amps feature for example an input filter for each channel, enabling you to remove the disturbing low- frequency portion of the signal. Additionally, there is a limiter that protects your loudspeakers. Various operating modes, such as parallel or mono mode, open up various possibilities for effective implementation with the rest of your audio equipment, leaving no wishes unanswered.

++ This manual first describes the terminology used, so that you fully understand the EUROPOWER and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

1.1Before you get started

1.1.1Shipment

Your EUROPOWER was carefully packed at the factory, and the packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.

++ If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to

BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately. Otherwise, claims for damage or replacement may not be granted.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place your EUROPOWER amp on top of other heat- emanating equipment or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.

The mains connection is made via the enclosed power cord and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all international safety certification requirements.

++ Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection. For your own safety, never remove or disable the ground conductor from the unit or the AC power cord.

++ The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the distance between the transmitter and the device and use shielded cables for all connections.
