A devastating amount of power in a lightweight package, the NU3000 provides you with up to 3000 Watts of crisp, clear sound and built-in crossover control.

The Behringer NU3000 iNUKE packs massive amounts of output power into an exceptionally lightweight, rack-mountable package. Behringer's revolutionary high-density Class-D technology combined with ultra-efficient switch-mode power supplies ensures these feather-light powerhouses will drive your rig effortlessly for many years to come.

Superb Transient Response

Behringer spent years fine-tuning the high-density Class-D technology that gives the iNUKE Series its oomph. By carefully selecting transistors with extremely high slew rates and optimizing other proprietary parts of the circuitry, these amps react instantly to even the most demanding electronic bass impulses.

When this amazing amplifier technology is combined with Behringer's state-of-the-art switching-mode power supplies, these amplifiers provide tremendous punch. And because they are so much more efficient than conventional designs, they run cooler and don't require the massive heat sinks and heavy toroid transformers typically associated with their conventional counterparts.

Sublimely Simple Operation

The front panel controls and indicators provide your system's vital signs at a glance. After pressing the Power button, the Power LED lights to show the amp is ready for action. All channels feature positive-detent Gain controls with Signal LEDs that light when a signal is present, as well as clip LEDs to indicate when the signal is distorted and you need to reduce the input signal.

The rear panel is just read more as elegant, with combo XLR and 1/4" TRS input connectors making the iNUKE compatible with virtually any source, balanced or unbalanced. Professional twist-lock speaker sockets are provided to ensure every drop of output power gets to your loudspeakers.The rear panel is also where you'll find the switches that enable iNUKE amps to work in either dual mono, stereo or mono bridge mode. A built-in crossover switch enables the amp to operate in biamp mode, sending low frequency content to passive subwoofers, while the high frequency output is channeled to fullrange loudspeakers (CH1>100 Hz / CH2

Sporting massive output ratings, lightweight Class-D technology, an equally lightweight price tag, and all the amenities a professional audio engineer could ask for, Behringer iNUKE amplifiers are serious amps for the most demanding applications.

So... $299 for a power amp and it weighs less than the wheels on my mobile DJ rack... why was I skeptical? That being said, due to budget constraints, I bought two of them for my small room system to replace items that I had lost when my basement flooded.. St. Patrick's Day was my first "test" of how well they would do... Firstly, I'll get the bad out of the way...Behringer could use a bit more of an honest approach to their power numbers. The amp may be able to produce 3,000 watts, but two ohm loads are hard to come by. Into an 8 ohm load, you're looking at more like 450 watts per side, or 900 total. Bridged into a 4 ohm load, 1500, although I don't think it quite makes that, it gets close enough. I have one amp driving a pair of JBL JRX115's, while the other is bridged and driving a single JBL MRX518S and the amps performed flawlessly for 5 hours. I was playing to a crowd of about 150 or so and having the volume was never a problem. Most importantly, the fact that my rack is 57 pounds lighter made the end of the night a lot less dreadful as well. Many kudos to the staff at zZounds as well. They went out of their way to help a broke DJ out of a bad situation. Great service means a lot to me, and these guys have it.
