Desirability:
la apariencia esta bien pero deberían vender un cover para protegerlo mejor

el sonido es muy bueno claro y poderoso. el ecualizador funciona muy bien, antes usaba un roland pero prefiero el behringer le hace falta un cover para protegerlo

Overall:
lo remplazaría por el mismo

Feature:
The EQ is excellent, removes feedback great. the 4th channel can be sent down the DI out, or to the cab, or both. built in FX make the drums fatter, the built in DI (and in stereo i might add) is a very nice addition. the enhancer is a cool addition, really fattens up the sound, plus tape in and out and 1/4 main outs too? what more do you need.

Quality:
I use it 3-4 gigs a week, has fallen off the cart once(roadie proof), in and out of the truck 4-5 times a week, and never misses a beat. Touring drummers listen up, your sound guys will thank you if you show up with this rig, all the guys I work with are IMPRESSED.

Value:
This thing smokes the Roland at less than 1/2 the price. And every time I show it to another drummer and they hear it, they want one.

Desirability:
Small for 300 watts, Light weight, and Powerful,

Sound:
Bought it as b stock for a drum monitor, the grill was popped in a little, big deal, this amp rocks, takes my kick drum hits ( i play all pads and triggers) great and is for sure 300 watts. The built in 4 channels is great, at an outside small gig, i ran the bass / keyboard player into it also and it kicked butt. Now he wants one (as soon as he sells his overpriced Roland).

Ease of Use:
Plug and Play baby. I run my Yamaha dtxpress 3 kit to the amp, run the main mix back to another channel for vocals, can run a click if need to channel 4 and no one can hear it but me. Super User Friendly.

Support:
I have use Behringer for Years, the newer products are better all the time. This amp can take low digital bass drum hits and never sound crunchy or distorted. This is my dream monitor. lots of extras you don't get on other amps that are twice the price.

Overall:
The only thing i want now is ANOTHER ONE. It has stereo link in's and out's so you can link it to another one and have stereo.

Overall:
I was DJ-ing a wedding on 3/28/08 and suddenly, my Peavey DPC1000 kept clipping. Long story short, the cooling fan stopped working and the amp was overheating. Luckily, no one really noticed because it was during dinner. I went into my van and broke out the Behringer K3000FX, put in on top of my subwoofer, ran a RCA wire from the mixer to the Behringer and I was back in business! The music sounded fine with plenty of mid-bass, clear mids and highs (The sub took care of most of the lows.) Needless to say, I made it through the night using a powered sub and the K3000FX. I do not play a keyboard nor am I in a band, but I purchased the Behringer as an auxiliary PA/backup system for situations like this. Thank you Behringer!

Feature:
The EQ and the "effects" are awesome - it lets me use an effect for the overall sound, and then drop it or raise it for a specific channel. For doing vocals and drums simultaneously this has been a huge benefit. I can get slightly open sounding drums and very intimate vocals at the same time.

Quality:
I am currently on my second amp of this model. The first one died within 20 days of purchase and began cutting out and producing only pops and crackles. The second one has performed fine... so far. The build quality seems ok, though. Heavy, nice feeling controls, no cheap feeling parts.

Value:
This is a great amp for small areas. It can mix smoothly and well. GREAT value for the money (compared to the dramatically more expensive Roland amps). Make sure you get a warranty.

Desirability:
It is pretty, looks fairly impressive, and sounds awesome. The design has no real stand-out looks, but compared to the Roland it looks and sounds better.

Sound:
It has a very clean sound with good bass and decent mids. I use it for vocals and electric drums (metal, punk, and rock).

Ease of Use:
It doesn't get a lot simpler. Plug in, attach equipment, play. No stupid cord designs (it's compatible with the standard computer power cables in a pinch), easy to carry and move. The carry handles are huge and well built.

Support:
When I called in for support on the first one (that died) the product support was excellent. Long hold time, though.

Overall:
I expect to use this as my home/small gig/studio amp for the foreseeable future. I will really need something with more power for larger shows, though. It serves nicely for any venue where a standard drum set would be too loud. It has the perfect balance of power to back up an acoustic show at a coffee house without drowning the other instruments or guests.

Feature:
Plenty of inputs. I had an I-pod, laptop, 2 mics & an Alesis SR-16 drum machine connected and had no problems.

Quality:
Heavy, but seems well-built.

Value:
I think it sounds better than a Roland KC 550. You can buy 2 Behringers for the price of 1 Roland.

Desirability:
This is a must if you play keyboard or just need a PA system.

Sound:
Sound is crystal clear. It doesn't have a ton of low end, but it has plenty of mid-bass (snappy bass.) I used it to provide sound for a middle school talent show in a multi-purpose room that seats 275 people. Everyone heard it just fine.

Ease of Use:
Piece of cake to use, just plug & play!

Overall:
I am pleased with Behringer's product. I plan on exploring some of their other products

Feature:
Features are very good. XLR Input, the classic Behringer Effects suite. (I have Behringer Mixers & rack mounted FX/Pedals and am more than happy with their performance/value) Multiple inouts & The EQ control are all good features. I use a Nord Electro 2 = don't need Distortion/Rotary Effects/EQ etc. (just gain & touch of Reverb)

Quality:
I would have given the Behringer K3000FX a "9" for quality except that the Horn Blew on the second gig. I have never replaced the Horn and the amp acts as a subwoofer in my home studion = I use the Motion Sound Amps for KB now.

Value:
For the power (really 150 to 200 watts RMS) and the features this amp is pretty good value. Just go easy on the Horn !

Desirability:
Pretty plain jane but the value per watt vs features is what sells it.

Sound:
The Buggera 15" woofer does have it's limitations. It is difficult to get a balanced sound form the combo of a 15" woofer and a small throated horn/tweeter. To be fair to Behringer the sound is good for the price but I am prepared to pay more for a better KB amp. It would add around 40% to the price to provide a better woofer with a larger magnet/voice coil and larger horn etc.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. Logical layout. A bit on the heavy side = I fitted castors for long passageways but a pain on stairs. I also have a Motion Sound KBR-3D that puts any other KB amp to shame. Much more sound evenly across the spectrum VS the K3000X but it costs 5 times as much as the Behringer ! The KBR3 is heavier again of course so for Gigs up/down long flights of stairs I use a Roland KC350 which isn't even close to the Behringer K3000FX or the MS KBR-3D in terms of power.

Support:
The place I bought the K3000FX couldn't help me with a new Horn as the Warehouse holding all of the Berhringer stock had gone up in flames. (True in Melbourne Australia)

Overall:
Pls see above I have switched to Motion Sound Amps and when I finally obtain a new horn I will give this amp to my 7 year old Grandson for his Keyboards.

Quality:
I do worry about one thing and that's the knobs breaking cause they're long. What would be cool is if they were all faders like the EQs and on the side instead of top... hmm... I mean, if I've gotta jump off of my amp into the drums at any point, I don't wanna worry about where I put my foot! =)

Value:
For the price (since it will be a couple years before I'm not paying for my own gear) this is the best amp I've played.

Sound:
I've got a Nord Electro 2 and Yamaha P-90 going into this bad boy and it's great. Better and cheaper than the Roland (which I just smashed in a dumpster hahahah) especially cause the horn on this one doesn't blow once a year! =/ Anyway, all I look for in a keyboard amp is pure reproduction of the sounds from my keyboards... this does it. There's no overdrive, but hell, no amp is going to have a better overdrive for my organ than the one that's build into my Nord! I don't touch the effects or EQs because it's really unnecessary.. it's not like a guitar amp where your sound is really dependent on your amp. So like I said, for pure sound reproduction, this is it. Now if you have crappy keyboards maybe you don't want that pure reproduction hah.. Try it out somewhere with a couple different pianos. Just hit any key, let the note decay all the way and listen to the quality of the sample. You'll be able to focus in on the nuance and flaws of the different piano samples better with this amp than you would with any of the Rolands. I mean, what you're listening to is not stuff you'll ever hear in the mix with a live band, but I firmly believe that those sorts of details translate into the overall quality of sound an audience will hear. Like on my Nord for example, some of the electric pianos sound so beautiful and this amp keeps true to that rich, warm, buttery, mmmm... I wanna finish this review so I can go back to hearing myself play 'em.

Overall:
I can't think of a better setup without actually having a mic'd up C7 grand, B3 / Leslie, and a Wurlitzer 200A all going into the house system at Madison Square Garden =)

Feature:
We run drums, guitar, and bass through this for practice. We really like the 4 separate channels.

Quality:
Great sound for alomost all instruments including drums, guitar, and bass. Solid amp w/o any problems.

Value:
Excellent! I have purchased other Behringer products and have found them to be excellentfor the price.

Desirability:
Good design and features!

Sound:
This is a keyboard amp but works great for practice and a monitor for my electronic drums and it handles bass drum (good deep attack and sound) and cymbals sound great. This amp was purchased as a electronic drum amp. We have run Drums, Guitar, and Bass throuh this keyboard amp with great sound for each.

Ease of Use:
This amp is easy to use.

Support:
I have had no need to use support.

Overall:
I have had this amp for about 1 year and can recommend Behringer. I like this product so much that I am purchasing a Behringer GMX212 guitar amp and Behringer BXL3000A bass amp so we don't have to have everyone go through the same amp.

Feature:
Digital FX, 7 band eq, 300 watts. Where do you find another keyboard amp with this?

Quality:
The score is a little lower here because of the cheap knobs. I protect them with a little cover I built.

Value:
300 bucks? I though they where kidding when they told me.

Desirability:
I own it.

Sound:
I found the tone to be warm and full sounding as compared to my Roland 550 which is to bright.

Ease of Use:
It's a amp. No list for the FX but you can get it online.

Support:
Dont know.

Overall:
Great sound, power, and features. Needed wheels because it is heavy. $15 casters at Home Depot solved that.

Feature:
This thing is loaded with effects and a 7 band graphic equalzier. XLR outs eliminate the need for a DI box.

Quality:
So far so Good. I am gigging weekly with this amp and, so far, no bad experiences. Seems to hold up to the jostling and bumping.

Value:
Bang for the buck!

Sound:
The sound is clean and does not color your tone.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play.

Support:

Feature:
I have a 12 channel mixer, and the only reason I use it is for more vocal inputs. Otherwise it is feature-packed. I have even stereo linked it to my gmx212 guitar amp with great results. I may get another one and use it for a stereo PA dirt cheap.

Quality:
This is a gorgeous amp. Everything is as it should be, and zero-defect out of the box. No cheesy feeling knobs or switches, either. Behringer bashers take note. It does weihg a ton, though. Still, the side handles make this pretty easy to live with...that's what the bass player does, we share the load with his amp, he shares the load with ours.

Value:
No doubt this is the sleeper keyboard amp on the market. The bashers can go ahead and pay more. This is the highest value for my dollar, hands down.

Desirability:
Looks as good as any of them. The black "carpet" covering and contrasting control panel look great to me. Other than that, it's another combo amp in my gear.

Sound:
I use this to amplify my keyboard drum machine, acoustic guitar, bass, and electric guitar effect
