Accelerated Transient Response Delivers the Knockout Punch

It takes huge pulses of energy (current and voltage) to propel a woofer cone out fast enough to match a bass beat. That’s called Transient Response and it’s the holy grail of amp designers. By carefully selecting transistors with extremely high slew rates and optimizing other proprietary parts of our circuitry, EPX amps can react instantly to even the most demanding electronic bass impulses. If the woofers in your PA system can keep up, your audience will hear a tighter, crisper, more natural sound.

BEHRINGER didn’t invent Class-H technology, but our R&D Department has been working for years to perfect our own version, creating lightweight amps that run cool and achieve our goal of Accelerated Transient Response.

Everything You Need

The simple front panel controls of these amps give you all of your sound’s vital signs at a glance. After pressing

EPX4000/EPX2800

the Power Button, the POWER LED will light when the amp is ready for action. Both channels have independent gain dials, as well as CLIP LEDs that notify you 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

The EPX Series’ INPUTs accept balanced XLR, ¼" TRS, and unbalanced ¼" TS and RCA connections. Take your pick of professional locking speaker outputs or touch-proof binding posts to securely connect speakers.

A panel of switches located on the back offers an array of cool options applicable to both channels. The switchable 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 amp is being overdriven into “clipping” and instantaneously reduces the input level just enough to avoid clipping distortion.

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.
