Behringer EUROPOWER EP2000 Professional 2,000-Watt Stereo Power Amplifier with ATR (Accelerated Transient Response) Technology

This amp kicks! It runs cool under heavy loading too. I really like the low-cut and clip gain reduction features to ensure my PA cabs don't fry when I'm pressing them hard. It is a HEAVY beast at 35 lbs but that's cause it's made of steel and inside there's heavy duty transformers. With its low distortion, low price, and great quality it is a helluva deal. With free super saver shipping it was a steal.

Found this unit from Amazon's WareHouse Deals and although the packaging was a little hammered the Amp which weighs over 40lbs arrived in perfect shape. The output is extremely clean and for my situation which is small venue and recording it has more than enough power for my PR12s. I use it every weekend and occasional during the week and it stays cool as a cucumber in my fairly hot garage band environment. The only thing one has to consider is it does not support ¼” phone jacks. I found some very reasonable ¼” to SpeakOn Adapter Cables (On Amazon) or one could hard wire your speakers using the covered terminal blocks. Over all it was simply a great buy .

I bought this amp to power my Butt Kicker as the original BK amp smoked. It works incredibly well and has what seems to be more power than needed. The only draw back if you use this in a home theater is the noisy fan. The stock fan is designed to cool the amp when it's under full load at a concert/event and is working hard. I found an Evercool DC 24V Fan 80 x 80 x 25mm on Amazon that will cool it with much less noise. Fan specs DC 24 Volts, Ball Bearing, 2500 RPM, Air Flow: 32.40 CFM, Noise Level: 28 dBA. I can get by with this fan as I am not pushing the amp to the max with the exception of brief spikes.

I bought this particular item due to its cheap price and my familiarity with Behringer. I have bought many different guitar effects products and other professional sound equipment devices and found them to be top quality and great pricing. This item feels like its made well, and with that I am extremely happy. The moment I turned it on, though I realized how noisy this amplifier is. I expected a certain amount of noise, myself dealing with PA's in the past with my own band and with running sound at church. This is a noisy amplifier, noisier than many. This is well suited for band atmospheres, where the sound will easily drown out the fan hum, but not so much in a home situation.

I decided to build my own home theater subwoofer. I bought a JBL GTO 1514D, and a pre-fab enclosure, and needed an amp. I was going to buy one of several cheaper amps, but the reviews for this one pulled me in. I couldn't be happier! I am running this amp at 2 ohms on each channel. One channel I have the JBL 15 inch, which has dual 4 ohm voice coils in parallel, and on the OTHER channel, I have two 4 ohm 12 inch MTX woofers in parallel, each in different cabinets. So really this is powering a single 15 inch and two 12 inch subs, matched and driving at 2 ohms for my home theater. I come out of my SUBWOOFER out from my receiver and split to both channels. I decided not to run in parallel mode, since the single JBL and dual MTX's have slightly different low end responses, I needed to use an EQ to optimize both at the low ends, and remove one resonant range from the MTX's. The result: I keep the volume knobs on #4 (less than half volume) and when I crank my 5.1 surround receiver, the low end lights up so loud, and so clear, using this amp, that I could not believe it. Here's proof: With my last home theater powered subwoofers, and whatever internal subwoofer amp it had, the entire home theater experience for sound, when cranked, was according to my wife, "a bit irritating". I just loved it since it was cranking, but knew I was slighly over driving the low end. With this amp and subs that can take this amps power, my wife now ENJOYS watching movies with the sound up LOUDER than before, because it is so clear, it's a whole different experience. Amp runs cool even when I pushed it for a 5 min test and clipped it. I could actually smell the heat from my subs voice coils, moreso than feel like this amp was just sitting there idling. Love it!

I like the quality of the amplifier, the sound quality is perfect. The only challenge is the power supply. It requires 120Volts while we use 240Volts. I have struggled to get a step down tranformer that matches the item. The ones I find are small they over heat. I could not send it back to be exchanged with a 240v because of high shipping charges. If there is a way you can send me the transformers for a 240v then i ship back the 120 trnsformer to you it might be a little bit cheaper for me. Otherwise the church is enjoying good quality music. Thanks Eddie

After tons of research I got this amp, Actually its the #2 of the identical now in my DJ system, SO I can power up 4 huge speakers. Great amp , great price. I also do movie events on a lake and these can blast hundreds of feet out over water too. You wont be let down!

Unit worked as expected . I Only have 1 issue. The fan noise. It’s very loud. we have our amps off stage it a separate room so it’s not a problem . But if you were to put on stage or in the same room it would definitely be a problem .

３０年前に購入した同出力のパワーアンプは４０万円弱の値段でしたから、いい時代です(笑) 値段からすると中古、もしくは訳ありかと思っていましたが新品でした。 冷却ファンがウルサイ等の評価がありましたがPA用のアンプはこれが普通です。評価を読んでもっとウルサイのかと心配しましたが普通でした。むしろおとなしい方かも、、、 奥行きが深くラックケースの蓋ギリギリで納まります。そのため接続ケーブルや電源は外さないと蓋は閉められません。 作りも普通にしっかり出来ていて、いい製品です。重量は以前の他社のアンプから比べると軽くなったほうです。 この値段なら、もう一台かな～(今のうち、今のうち、、笑)

Great Product, and , as advertised. The Behringer EP2000 complements my Home theatre extremely well, for clean audio reinforcement in powering my POLK RTIA9 speakers. The transients are handled quickly...with discerning ease. The power is magnificently delivered early in the gain dials - without any hint at distortion ( THD or IMD) coming at any position on the dial. I threw some Classical, Jazz (Santana ) , Reggae ( Marley styling on " Concrete Jungle " , etc..**. I really wanted to challenge this Beast.!!!. But alas...this Beast was beautiful! Validation of the Crossover points to my Equalizer was measured as per the specifications of those stated in the Behringer stats - a difinitive confirmation** There are complaints heard - on the issue of Fan noise when the EP2K/4K is used in a Home Theatre setting, but there are multiple solutions to this. (Quiet fan options, Noise suppression cabinet rack housing enclosures..to name two). However , as I commented above , Clean , Raw power, with ATR at it's best application in a BOX that delivers- on time , every time...is much like winning the the lottery - for a relatively " minor " investment!! To Behringer....job well done!! Thank You. I must now look to the Boss EP4000 I guess. I need to sleep on that....perhaps a BIG Party!! Incorrigible....I know!!

Great amplifier, very good sound and very robust. Thank you

Es un excelente amplificador a buen precio, buena calidad, gracias

I like the power, punchy and clean. I use a sony ta f300 as pre amp and it sounds clean and dynamic. its jst the noisy fan that interrupts at low volume but over all im satisfied with my new toy.
