Behringer EUROPOWER EPQ450 460W Lightweight Stereo Power Amplifier (130W/Channel @ 8 Ohms)

Loud, lightweight, single space power amp.

Lightweight, reliable power in a single rackspace, the Behringer EQP450 utilizes the power of Accelerated Transient Response (ATR) technology to achieve an exceptionally efficient power amp. Ample power and high-tech efficiency combine to give you a lightweight workhouse
.
It takes large pulses of energy (current and voltage) to propel a woofer cone out fast enough to match a bass beat. That' called Transient Response and it is one of the chief pursuits of amp designers. By carefully selecting transistors with extremely high slew rates, the EQP series amplifiers 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

Instead of operating relatively continuously like most power amps, the EPQ power amps feature rail tracking for effectively modulating the power supply rails with only the peaks of the input signal. This technology has revolutionized pro audio amp designs with its outstanding performance and efficiency. When combined with switching-mode power supplies that do away with heavy toroid transformers, the EQP amps provide more dynamic punch and, because they are so much more efficient, run cooler and don™t require huge, heavy heat sinks.

The simple front panel controls of these amps give you all of your sound' vital signs at a glance. After pressing the Power Button, 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.

The back panel of the EPQ450 accepts balanced XLR and TRS inputs and has MONO On/Off and BRIDGE On/Off switches.

BEHRINGER' new EPQ power amps are built for the working musician. They are exceptionally light, they pack massive power and they are built to last through all the rigors of the road.
