Behringer EUROPOWER EP2000 Brochure & Specs

PA Ampliers
The EP2000 and EP4000 represent
everything musicians love about our
popular EP1500/EP2500—excellent
sound quality, road-worthy toughness
and reliability, low-noise operation
and incredible power. With 2,000 and
4,000-Watts respectively, the EP20 00
and EP4000 ampliers are perfect for
medium-sized club gigs, mobile PA
systems, church servic es or public spaces.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
The über-simple front panel controls
of these amps give you all of your sound’s
vital signs at a glance. After ipping
the MAIN switch, the POWER LED will
light when the amp is ready for action.
Both channels have independent gain
dials as well as clip LEDs that indicate
when the signal is distorted and you need
to reduce the gain. There are also SIGNAL
LEDs that light up when a signal is present
at the input.
Panel discussion
A panel of switches found on the
back panel oers an array of cool
options to apply to both channels of
the EP2000 and EP4000. The Clip Limiter
lets you get even more out of the
amplier without overdriving either it
or your speaker system. Built-in circuitry
automatically senses when the EP2000 or
EP4000 is being overdriven into “clipping”
and then momentarily reduces the input
level to avoid clipping distortion. This all
happens in a few thousandths of a second,
so it’s an inaudible way of avoiding audible
clipping distortion. Of course, you can turn
the Limiter o if you’re feeling lucky.
Ultra-low frequency sounds
(infrasonics) are caused by rickety stage
vibrations, mic thumps and wind noise.
While technically inaudible, they can
cause a huge drain on amp power,
potential damage to your speakers
and a sludgy sound in the audible
bass ranges. Both EP models feature a
defeatable Low Cut Filter that chops
o unwanted frequencies below
50Hz or 30Hz (depending on your PA
system’s capabilities).
The same panel contains the switches
that allow you to put these amps to
work in either stereo or bridge (mono)
mode. Both the EP2000 and EP4000 can
be linked to additional power amps by
switching into parallel mode.
