Superb Sound Quality

Since Behringer already makes some of the best-sounding audio mixers, amplifiers and loudspeakers on the planet, it should come as no surprise that the EPA300 provides far superior sound quality than other products in this class. The two satellite speakers feature custom designed 8 inch woofers and 1.35 inch aluminum diaphragm compression drivers for incredible fidelity and clarity you might not expect from a loudspeaker system this small.

Control Freak

Channels 1 - 2 feature our high-quality Invisible Mic Preamps (IMP), which have been praised for their transparency and headroom. A Level control is provided with a Clip LED, so you can dial in the perfect signal level. They've also provided a Pad switch for those occasions when you have to contend with "hotter" than normal input levels.

Phantom Power is available, so you can use studio-grade condenser mics. Overall system response is handled by a 5-band stereo graphic EQ, and our proprietary FBQ Feedback Detection System helps you track and eliminate those annoying mic squeals.

Additionally, each input channel has a two-band EQ (Bass and Treble), Balance (allowing you to place the signal wherever you want within the stereo image) and an Effects level control. It is important to note that while some of our competitors only provide a reverb switch, the EPA300 features an FX level control per channel with 100 state-of-theart 24-bit digital FX to choose from. FX can be turned off/on via any standard footswitch (not included).

Speaking of FX

If you're making a speech, chances are you won't need it, but if you're playing a musical instrument and/or singing, you might want to add some effects. So, they've included a 24-bit stereo FX processor with 100 great-sounding presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and various multi-effects to sweeten your performance. And if you want to sing along with pre-recorded tapes or CDs, the EPA300's Voice Canceller function can remove virtually all the vocals from tracks played back through channels 5/6 with the simple flick of a switch.

It's All About Connections

The EPA300 comes ready for your input, literally. Channels 1 - 2 accept balanced XLR mics, as well as balanced and unbalanced 1/4 in. line-level sources, such as electronic keyboards and the like. Stereo channels 3/4 and 5/6 accommodate RCA and 1/4 in. unbalanced inputs, such as drum machines, keyboard sound modules, etc. All in all, there are enough mic and line-level inputs to handle a small band.

A Bonus Channel?

Want to play some of your favorite tunes at the company party? Just plug a CD/MP3 player into the Stereo Aux Inputs and crank it up! You don't even have to give up a channel, just control the volume from the player.

Everything You Need

The EPA300 is a complete system. Just set up the main unit on a tabletop, deploy the speakers and connect them with the included cables. Connect the high-quality dynamic microphone and hit the power switch-voila, instant PA system! There is even an onboard storage compartment for the included microphone, accessories and cabling.

"Excellent Mobile DJ setup"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have been a mobile DJ for 15 years and used many systems. I purchased this because my Peavy Escort 3000 that I have been using for small venues was getting pretty beat up. I wanted something that was just as portable, but I did want more power and bass response. I have not been disappointed with this Berhinger unit! First the positives: The whole system only weighs about 45 pounds. It's light enough to carry by yourself, and not awkwardly shaped and unwieldy like the Peavy was. The sound quality out of this system is also very good. The highs are very crisp, and the lows are punchy enough to get by, especially for a speaker with only an 8" woofer. Cables are high quality, and the whole unit feels very sturdy. The feedback detector is a life saver for bridesmaids and groomsmen who don't have a clue how to use a microphone, forcing you to constantly mess with the volume. There are a couple of downsides to this, but nothing that would sway me from recommending it to others. The storage compartment will hold the included microphone OR the speaker cords and power cord, not both. This unit does not come with speaker stands, but a standard 1 3/8" stand works great. (I bought the JamStands TS50 set to use). Overall this is a fantastic setup for a small to medium sized venue, and will handle most of your needs as a mobile DJ.
