EPQ Series ampliers combine serious
output power with high-tech eciency to
create feather-light power amps that will
keep your rig kicking for years to come.
With four stereo models, ranging from
450 to 2,000 Watts, and the four-channel
EPQ304 (4 x 75 Watts) to choose from,
there is an EPQ Series amplier for every
application. And these 1RU and 2RU
amps are only 10.1 inches deep (257 mm),
so they t into virtually any size rack.
Accelerated Transient Response
Delivers the Knockout Punch
It takes huge pulses of energy
(currentand voltage) to propel a woofer
cone out fast enough to match a bass
beat. That’s called Transient Response
and it’s the holy grail of amp designers.
By carefully selecting transistors with
extremely high slew rates and optimizing
other proprietary parts of our circuitry,
our amps are able to react instantly to
even the most demanding electronic bass
impulses. If the woofers in your PA system
can keep up, your audience will hear a
tighter, crisper, more natural sound.
This technology has revolutionized pro
audio amp designs with its outstanding
performance and eciency.
When combined with switching-mode
power supplies that do away with
heavy toroid transformers, our new
designs provide more dynamic punch
and, because they are so much more
ecient, run cooler and don’t require
huge, heavy heat sinks.
BEHRINGER didn’t invent this
technology, but our R&D Department
has been working for years to perfect our
own version, creating lightweight amps
that run cool and also achieve our goal
of Accelerated Transient Response.
