Feature:
there are no accessories with this product that i know of, other than that the top of it interchanges perfectly with an RMX 2450, and it also looks like a lot of other thing will fit, but I did not spend the time to find out, again if you steal some elses design should you get credit for it?

Quality:
even though this amp is a copy of the RMX 2450, they achieved cheapness in there construction of the design, the circuit cards are thinner, they used smt components on the other side of the boards, so they are closer to the heat sinks, they used no heat sinks on the rectifiers, and used a raised indention to bolt the heat sinks to, which if the amp is laying on a table or on a another amp in a rack, it will trap the heat in the rectifiers, also an IEC 10 amp inlet device of poor plactic quality is used to attach the power cord to, which is then protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker, which will allow 5 more amps of current to pass than the part is rated for if there is a failure, how this amp got its saftey ratings is beyond me. If this amp starts a fire, now you know why..hopefully it will not be your house.

Value:
if you use it for 1 year and blow it up, you get to buy another one, then use it for 1 year and blow it up , you get ot buy another one, the use it for year and blow it up then you get to buy another one.. thats like $1049.85 plus the money you lost on the 3 gigs where amp caught on fire... as the QSC RMX 2450 at retail will get you a six year warranty, plus it won't fry into 2 ohm loads at 10% distortion..its only $875, but then again, you really were not planning on spending you life doing hip hop were you?

Desirability:
Why would I want another one of these, with what I know now about them, buyer beware, there is reason things cost more, power amps with sex appeal? You keep these things in the back and out of sight, like an ugly cousin, you hope and pray they continue to do what they are designed to do and if one fails you hope the others can handle the load...this amp cannot

Sound:
The amplifier is capable of making sound..if you steal your design from some one else and it sounds good, should you get credit for it?: this amp is a copy of the qsc rmx 2450

Ease of Use:
The amplifier says it will handle a 2 ohm load, I suggest you hook up 4 8 ohm cabinets per side, (that would be like 8 peavey sp1's,that would look impressive), make sure you have it hooked up to good electrical service,you want to make sure the amp can pull all the current it can, then use good wires to feed your cabinets, make sure the speakers aren't starvin for power' then drive hip hop into it all night at clipping and see how long yours lasts..you will find Behinger did not copy the quality of the qsc...rmx 2450

Support:
Getting response from the manufacturer for schematics, is impossible, getting parts for the older equipment is impossible, if you have one out of warranty, it will not get fixed unless you know a tech who likes to work, for free..for long hours, as this dam thing is one of the hardest products to trouble shoot that I come across, give me a Peavey CS800 any day of the week..

Overall:
I will never take another Beringer product, if they did it to Mackie, I should have know they will do it to anyone..QSC should not have to be put up with their stuff being copied, because some are to lazy to design there own stuff, any time some one copies someone else's, it is theft..an RMX 2450 will run circles around this thing anyways..only drawback to 2450 is it is heavey, that is why I beleive in PLXII'S

Feature:
Hook-up, lay-out and design are fine. Detents knobs feel solid. Binding-post covers are a nice plus.

Quality:
A big WHOA to the guys pushing gas out of their faces on the quality. There will always be a 1-2% defective rate on high-volume builds like this one. Buy an extra one or two at these prices! We just sold a Crown for parts recently after getting a $467 estimate to repair it. Main board was junk.

Value:
Best value period.

Desirability:
Aside from the stigma that the Behringer haters create in the market place, this is a very desirable piece of gear.

Sound:
This amp is very clean and handles the low end well. We have 3 of these driving our subs and another on our mids.

Ease of Use:
DIP's are a little annoying, but the necessary for the versatility. Cheats on the back of the amp for DIP switches is nice.

Support:
Website is very functional. Never had to use phone support and we own a lot of Behringer gear.

Overall:
We will buy more of these in the future. Simply the best value in this output range.

JUNK! I bought this to power monitors. It worked for a month. Now it doesn't do anything but show the green LED that it is on. Waste of money. You would be much better served to purchase a low end Crown or Crest, even a Peavey (can't believe I just said Peavey). Behringer is known for problems, don't risk your hard earned dollars on this product.

XLR, Speakon, Banana, 1/4" connectors what other connector could you possibly add to it, says cool even at full blast, built in fan is super quiet

Quality:
dropped it once before putting it in its rack, picked it up and there wasn't one scratch plugged it on and in my opinion it sounded better (im not saying its a good idea to drop it though)

Value:
awsome value i will buy many more

Desirability:
r u seriously asking the what is the sex appeal of a power amp? well its an amp what more can i say.

Sound:
crystal clear sound y pay more for the same thing but a different brand

Ease of Use:
plug it in raise or lover the gain as you wish and your done

Support:
never had to deal with them but the number is on the box and in every page of the manual

Overall:
if it got lost of stolen i would buy another one ,mabye 2 for each one that got stolen. thats how good they are

Feature:
Good connections, XLR, speak-on, banana, etc.

Quality:
heavy case, durable amp--I like it.

Value:
best value on the market for full range, mids and highs. Just not as good for the subs--It's good to a point for subs.

Desirability:
The amp is ok looking, but who cares about looks? My customers do not come up to me and say: "great looking amps Steve."

Sound:
very good sound. I use it for my tri-amped P.A. system. I use it for mids and subs Peavey tops and bottoms

Ease of Use:
It's easy to use. I am disappointed, however, that it seems to lack the head room I expected to get. The red LED's, indicating it has reached its limit and is starting to clip happens sooner under the same conditions than its cousin, the QSC RMX 2450. They look essentially the same, same power ratings--2400 watts at 2 ohms (1200 watts x 2). However, the EP2500 has less headroom than the RMX 2450. The RMX 2450 can produce more amplified power to your speakers before the red LED's light up. Still, for the money, the EP2500 is bullet-proof. It works without stopping--in 100 degree heat--I know from experience. Overall, a very good amplifier, which I just do not recommend for the subs. The QSC is a better amp for that.

Support:
I have had no reason to call them.

Overall:
I expect these amps will last a life time. I use them every weekend for my gigs and they are very dependable.

Feature:
Very Easy To Hook Up.1/4 in. and XLR For Inputs D.I.P.Switches For Stereo Or Bridged Mono Very Well Illustrated on back panel, Binding posts And Speakon Jacks for outputs.

Quality:
This Amp Is Heavy,But Has A Hell Of Power For Under $300.00. These Amps Are Built Like A Tank. They are perfect for road use. You Can Run Them At Full Power,but they do get warm,but never shut down,like some other amps do when you push them.As A DJ I Run These Amps Wide Open With NO Trouble At All.

Value:
A Hell Of A Good Value, Where Can You Get A 2400 Watt Power Amp For Less Than $300.00? AS A Mobile DJ. I Reccomend Buying 1 or 2 or whatever you can afford. This Amp Has The Same Power and Features As The QSC RMX2450 AT HALF The Price.

Desirability:
I Showed These Amps To My Friend. He Said He Would Sell His Ex Wife For A Pair Of These.Buy One and Listen For Yourself,you will be amazed of the sound.

Sound:
Great Sound, Clear Highs, Clear Midrange, And Thunderous Bass Even At Full Output.

Ease of Use:
Very Easy To Hook Up Great For Mobile DJ'S.

Support:
never needed support.

Overall:
I Own 2 EP2500's I Plan On Buying 2 More. If These were ever stolen I Would Buy More.

amps are pretty simple to use...there werent much features but the swich modes on the back...

Quality:
crisp sound...with certain speakers u might need to adjust on the EQ though

Desirability:
this amp looks solid..im probably gettn me bout 20 more b4 the price goes up

Sound:
this product is hands down the best for the price...

Ease of Use:
connect the speakers...crank it up...simple as that

Overall:

Feature:
I can't complain about the features, what more could your want on a pro audio amp? The only thing I could see them adding is 1/4'' outputs, but honestly who uses them? SPEAKON ALL THE WAY!

Quality:
Great quality, built like a tank but it is heavey, I have 2 in a rack and it is a back-breaker but I don't see it breaking anytime soon!

Value:
For $300-$350 and you get all the features, quality, and power of Crown, Peavey, and QSC amps why not go for a BEHRINGER!

Sound:
Sounds as good as Crown amplifiers I've heard in the past. These things will perform well IF USED THE RIGHT WAY!

Ease of Use:
PLUG AND PLAY!

Support:
Haven't had to deal w/ them.....no glitches in the product.

Overall:
I'd have to give it a 9.5 overall....the only issue some people might find w/ this amp is that it is pretty heavy...also if you drive it into clip then the recovery time is slow....but anyone who continuously drives it into clip needs a higher power amp!

Feature:
She can run however you want her to great for hooking up two subs to a home a/v system.

Quality:
I crank this baby til the mirror in the bathroom is shaking and she is still barely warm.

Value:
definetally the best dollar per watt out there.

Desirability:
Black matches every other component I have.

Sound:
Excellent sound quality. This amp produces tight low bass very well great on the depth charges on U-571. Sounds great on movies and music. The best watt per dollar out there. Great for R&B, country, hip hop, rap, and rock. I am using a pre-amp, receiver, cd player, and a PS2. I own four jensen 1500's,a sony center channel, and this amp totally finished my system powering my power acoustik 15" sub which runs at 2 ohms. Excellent product will purchess more.

Ease of Use:
Extreemly easy to install and intergrate into your system.

Support:
Haven't needed any yet

Overall:
I will buy more

very strongly built...heavy! speakon outputs and binding posts (which will accept banana to quarter-inch adaptors(buy separately. so no whining you guys about not being able to use quarter inch cables.

Quality:
seems very strong and reliable so far. no complaints.

Value:
excellent power to dollar ratio....

Desirability:
it's a nice piece of equipment... good, simple design, easy to look at.

Sound:
clean and powerful...strong sound.

Ease of Use:
plug it in...turn it on...crank the volume (not too much!) Start at 10:00 position, and work your way up.

Support:

Overall:
I hope to have this amp for along time, without any problems. buy one now!

Just Raw Power. Easy to configure to your needs.

Quality:
Very well built. No excuses.

Value:
You just can't beat the value. I could have spent a whole lot more on amplifiers, and almost did. I don't regret buying a pair of these bad boys.

Desirability:
That much clean juice for less than 300 bucks? That alone is dead sexy!

Sound:
I bought 2 of these to power my folded horn home theatre subs. I run them in bridged mode, and they really pack a huge punch. The sound is excellent, or at least I couldn't imagine it being any better. These things rattle my room like you wouldn't believe. Guests are always in awe. I think my neighbors hate me, and they aren't very close.

Ease of Use:
Couldn't get any simpler.

Support:
No need for support as of yet.

Overall:
Overall.... a 10 for sure. You just can't pick these things apart for what they sell em' for! If you are on the fence and thinking about buying one, or more of these... Do it.
