Class-D: Massive Power, Perfect Sound

Class-D amplification makes all the difference, offering the ultimate in energy efficiency - and eliminating the need for heavy power supplies and massive heat sinks. This amazing technology makes it possible to design and build extremely-powerful products that are read more significantly lighter in weight than their traditional counterparts, while using less energy and protecting the environment.

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.

Just as elegant as the front, the rear panel is home to the 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 the NU12000 amp to run in your choice of dual mono, stereo or mono bridge modes.

Three Ways to Shape Your Sound

The NU12000 features a built-in 3-way Crossover, which is selectable as: Full-Range mode, where the output is sent unfiltered to your loudspeakers; LF mode, which sends the low-frequency content (100 Hz) is channeled to your full-range loudspeakers.

Sound Value

Sporting massive output ratings, lightweight Class-D technology, an equally lightweight price tag - and all the amenities a professional audio engineer could ask for - the iNUKE NU12000 power amplifier is a serious amp for your most demanding applications.

"This Amp is Amazing"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
So I bought the NU 12000 amp to power my subs. Having already bought 6 NU6000 amps I knew how great this was going to be. I made the power cable for the amp as Behringer only provides the connector to the amp. I hooked up the amp to my sub signal cables, hooked up the speaker cables and did 5 shows over New Years. I ran the amp at a 2 ohm load per channel...that's 2 dbl 18" subs per channel. No issues or problems, just tons of solid bass. The amp does use all of 25 amperes of current draw at full power. My only complaint is that the instruction booklet behringer provides is kind of simplistic. My service from Zzounds was and always has been exceptional. Peace

Musical Background:
