Everything You Need

The simple front panel controls of the Behringer Europower EPQ900 power amp give you all of your sound's vital signs at a glance. After pressing 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 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.

The back panel of the Behringer Europower EPQ900 power amp accepts balanced XLR. Options is yours at it has MONO On/Off and BRIDGE On/Off switches.

Accelerated Transient Response (ATR)

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 the circuitry, Behringer amps are able to 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.

Because I use this product as a practice space amp, I will not change it for another any time soon. It does the job I hoped it would and more. What i like the most is it's ability to deliver a great sound. I do not have a "least".
Sound
I have no issues with this product. I use it for my band's practice space and it does the job greatly. The amp fans are quiet and the overall design and light weight make it very portable. I think this amp will work well in smaller venues, but I would not consider using it for such. I use it with a Behringer mixer and work very well together.
Features
Of course the mono, stereo and bridge features are great in any amp. The current features that it has are well equipped for this amp.
Ease of Use
If you know the setup you want, it is a very simple amp to use. Very close to plug and play.
Quality
Very rugged, good outer casing and the metallic color is a plus if the amp ever gets scratched. The product itself feels like it can withstand significant damage and its design protects vital connectors and power button.
Value
Great amp for a great price.
Manufacturer Support
I have had no need to contact the company at this point.
The Wow Factor
Very slim, slick, great design and color. The blue LED "on" light makes it look "techy" and the quiet fans makes it sound reliable. Outstanding design.
