Overview
Description
From Our Catalog
Are you looking for a power amp with the oomph to power your system at a musician-friendly price? Look no farther! The new flagship of Behringer's Europower series of power amps, the EP4000 provides a staggering 4,000 watts into 4 ohms bridged at less than a dime a watt!

Just what you need
Behringer's EP4000 amplifier keeps its front-panel design simple, leaving out needless bells and whistles to keep it one of the best values on the market. It's got everything you need for the gig, though, including a power switch, independent gain dials for each of the stereo channels, and ventilation slots to keep your rig cool even when you're pushing it hard. The panel also features a green power LED to let you know when the amp is warmed up and ready to go, as well as signal and clip LEDs to help you keep the house signal clear.

Performance adjustable to your needs
Unlike a mullet, this power amp keeps it all business in the back. There, you'll find a number of switches available to adjust the features on the EP4000 to precisely what you need. You can turn the Clip Limiter on or off, which will automatically cut the level on the audio signal to prevent clipping, distortion, and speaker damage. It also features a Low Cut Filter to remove sludgy low-end frequencies. This helps immensely in keeping your whole system running effectively and safely. The Low Cut Filter may be set at either 30 or 50 Hz, or turned off to better match the frequencies your system can replicate reliably. The back panel also features controls for setting your amp to run in bridged mono or stereo mode, as well as controls to daisy chain amps in parallel mode. At this price, there's no excuse to show up under-powered. Get as many as you need!

Consistency under the hood
Price-conscious customers know Behringer Europower amps feature an unparalleled amount of power per dollar, but may be less familiar with what goes into that. For their EP-series amps, Behringer uses reliable Toshiba/Fairchild power transistors in a rugged, all-steel, 2-space enclosure. The EP4000 also features a high-current toroidal transformer, ideal for fast transient response and reliability of performance. These quality components offer the peace of mind you need when traveling from gig to gig. You've got enough to worry about with the set list, merch table, and moody roadies. This rock-solid amp lets you check "Power Amp Concerns" off your list. Plus, this high-powered PA amp features a front-to-back cooling system with an exhaust fan located on the back of the amp. The fan draws air in through the front slots, across the internal components, and out the back, pulling the heat along with it. Even under heavy 2-ohm loads, The EP4000 is chillin' like Bob Dylan.
For a long life of amazing sound, the Behringer EP4000 Stereo Power Amplifier is built of rugged construction and high-quality components.

Protected by an impact resistant, all-steel 2U rackmount chassis, the EP4000 delivers precise power, signal and clip LEDS to monitor performance. For reliable operation, independent DC and thermal overload protection on each channel, a back-to-front ventilation system, high-current toroidal transformer and power transistors have been added.

The EP4000 also comes with ATR (Accelerated Transient Response) Technology and won't let you down with its 4,000 watts of power.

"Definately out performed my expectations!!!"
Feature:
The "built in" accessories are the clip limiters, and the low cut filters. They perform as expected. Great job Behringer!

Quality:
The quality is great! The BEH EP4000 is built solid! Cosmeticly, it has the design of any other professional amplifier. One down side is that this unit is HEAVY! You definately are gonna want a rolling rack, or portable rack and have someone help share the load in weight, or safety purposes. (It is not EXTREMELY heavy, but heavy enough to warrant proper handling...)

Value:
The current price is set just right for the BEH EP 4000, in that if you are looking for an affordable AMP is plenty of power, you definately can not go wrong with the BEH EP 4000! (just between you and I, I have it on good authority that a competitors AMP rated at 7000 watt - 3500 per channel peak [priced at $799] has not performed as anticipated. This was shared with me by a fellow musician that purchased their unit new two weeks ago)

Desirability:
I own it, and highly recommend the Behringer EP 4000 for anyone looking for an affordable "beginner" amp. Definately worth a try. I'm glad I did.

Sound:
I am really pleased with the performance of this Behringer Amp! I am powering two Carvin LSx2153's. (The power rating of the LSx2153's is 800prog/1600peak - manual states 800cont/1600prog/3200peak)and the sound is really clean with the BEH EP 4000. The cabinets are "true three way" series, and the EP 4000 does an excellent job. I tested the unit at 40% with the clip limiter on, and the low cut filter on set at 30Hz. The EP 4000 does exactly as it was designed to do!

Ease of Use:
The dip switch diagram is printed on the back panel of the EP 4000 for easy reference. The manual included with the EP 4000 does an excellent job explaining the multiple scenarios of how to utilize the settings of the dip switches. (I had this amp up and running within 30 minutes out of the box!)

Support:
I don't have a rating as far as "support" because the BEH EP 4000 perfomed great right out of the box.

Overall:
I have used other professional equipment, and in my opinion, the BEH EP 4000 is a great, afforable and alternative investment to the higher priced AMPs that we sometimes want right NOW but don't always have the funds for them. I plan to add two more LSx2153's to complete an small system for smaller gigs, and DJ work. I too was leary at first, but for the price, the BEH EP 4000 is a smart investment.

"This is a Behringer?...No Way!!!"
Feature:
I'll reiterate one thing the previous reviewer said...This thing is HEAVY..IT will take 2 people to carry this thing especially in a rack unless your rack is on wheels. I'm a decently strong guy and I was surprised how heavy this thing is...It is built like a Tank though so it will be durable..

Quality:
Much more durable than Crown and QSC IMO. And I have used or owned both...On the other hand I think Behringer likes to fudge a little on ratings and sometimes what they say the ratings for on their products are slightly lower.

Value:
C'mon for the money you will be amazed at the quality and performance of this amp. I know most people snub Behringer products and in most cases rightfully so but they are moving in the right direction and you can't go wrong with this or any of their power amps.

Desirability:
this thing is HEAVY.....not sexy at all....But the power is beyond Sexy...

Sound:
The sound of this amp is incredible. Now that Behringer is using Toshiba parts I'll bet this will stand the test of time. The manual and the amp itself is self explanatory. IF you don't carry around your manual the back of the amp tells you all the settings.

Ease of Use:
Manual and the back of the amp are very explanatory. All the settings are shown on the back of the amp for reference.

Support:
I don't know about the support I haven't had to use it.

Overall:
This is my only power amp now so I shouldn't have to buy another power unless this one dies. IT has more than enough power to need another amp.
