We use this PA system on our Little League field for announcements. We bought three and love each one. What a great item. I was so impressed with it, that I bought one for my employer. So easy to set up and it light weight to carry every where. Love it!!

Works well in open area. Sound clarity is good not muffled. I noticed a pure sound quality when I used my Shure microphone. The Behringer speaker was good but picked up a noticeable amount of noise. For the price one cannot complain. It so happened that I had my higher quality mic. I do not know what a replacement battery would cost or if it is available.

"Expect Little"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This unit has been a disappointment from the beginning. The battery supplied with the unit would not hold a charge, so I ordered another one from Behringer. They were "back ordered" and one finally showed up over 6 months later. It too has the same problem. It simply won't hold a charge. Now, over a year later, I still have no PA and Behringer will not honor its one-year warranty. If the unit is to be used with AC power, it'll probably provide good service, but if it's to be used with its no-so-rechargeable battery, buyer beware! The unit, and Behringer's lack of support of it, are both a disappointment.

"A Disappointment"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars

The Behringer EPA-40 PA System would be a good product IF the rechargeable battery supplied with it was reliable - and IF replacement batteries were readily available. No retailer I could find (including zZounds) has replacement batteries in stock - and any purchaser should be aware of the battery situation before making a buying decision.

Musical Background:

No musical background. I just needed a good quality portable PA unit.

"Spend a bit more on something better."

Overall: 1 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This system worked for 2 three hour sessions and then I charged it when the yellow light came on to recharge. Then the unit would not recharge and I had to go on AC. So I ordered a new battery which took 4 months to arrive. It also didn't take a charge so that was worthless. Spend a bit more and but something better.

"Great Product! I Love It! You will Love this Too!"

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I am looking to purchase another one, just in case. I have compared with other more expensive brands but I don't see them as lightweight nor as versatile as this.
Sound
Sound quality is great. Must control MP3 volume via the volume on your MP3 device or laptop. If you jack into microphone for MP3 then you will get distortion. I use it all the time and have actually time the battery just playing with my laptop for 14 hours before I fell asleep. So it ran out sometime after 14 hours. The power went out at one of my events and I used this directly jacked into my laptop (you have to buy the 1/4 jack cord)for 5 straight hours then switched to another laptop for another 2 hours. Great Back Up system with no complaints.
Features
Comes with a Microphone and extended cord. A plus would be a wireless microphone integration and I will be the first to buy one. It only comes with Microphone cord, Microphone, and AC Plug. You have to purchase all 1/4 and Mono plug cords later. I would also like to see a lavaliere microphone version of this too. I put mine in a backpack but I also hang on shoulder underneath my Tux jacket to be a true Mobile DJ. My clients have tripped out because they can't see where the music or the vocals are coming from.
Ease of Use
I have used this as a Wedding Officiate for over 50 weddings this year on Panama City Beach. I play classical and sometimes Top 40 MP3 music via the MP3 Jack on this system and I use the microphone to perform the ceremonies. It is the most portable system that I have ever purchased.
Quality
I have dropped it, banged it up and it don't appear to have a scratch on it. The carrying strap is an added bonus. I don't worry about a back up to this one since I have never (*knock*knock)had a problem with it. I have used it for about a year now.
Value
I rented this out for $150 for 1 hour for a rehearsal dinner the first weekend I had it. Since then I have probably made about 100 times that at all the gigs I have done with this. This bad boy will more than pay for itself. I also have clients that have seen it and purchased their own because they were so impressed.
Manufacturer Support
Have not needed support, hopefully won't have to.
The Wow Factor
Very Sexy product. Color is great and it has a modern sexy sleek look to it.
