Ideal for medium-sized clubs, mobile PA systems, and houses of worship, the EP2000 from Behringer is a stereo power amplifier that provides up to 1000W per channel into two ohms and 2000W into four ohms in mono bridge mode. With comprehensive protections and ATR tech for enhanced punch and clarity, this amp offers incredible value.

With switchable limiters built into both channels, you never have to worry about sudden peaks damaging your gear or your audience's ears. Detented gain controls ensure precision adjustments for just the right mix. I/O options are varied, including balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4" TRS input as well as speakON and binding post speaker outputs. And with a durable all-steel chassis and built-in rack support, this 2 RU power amp fits perfectly into any standard equipment rack.

It takes huge pulses of energy (current and voltage) to propel a woofer cone fast enough to match a bass beat. That’s called ATR or Accelerated 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 their circuitry, Behringer's amps react instantly to even the most demanding bass impulses. If the woofers in your PA system can keep up, your audience will hear a tighter, crisper, more natural sound.

The über-simple front-panel controls of the EP2000 provides all of your amp's vital signs at a glance. After flipping the Main switch, the Power LED will light when the amp is ready for action.

Each of the 2 channels feature dedicated Gain controls and Signal LEDs that light up when a signal is present at the input as well as Clip LEDs to indicate when input adjustments are required.

The rear panel of every EUROPOWER EP2000 sports an array of options to help you get the most out of your amp. The built-in Clip Limiter automatically senses when the amplifier is being driven into clipping and momentarily reduces the input level to avoid distortion. This all happens in mere microseconds, making it the ideal way to ensure perfect sound all the time.

Stage vibrations, mic thumps, and wind noise can cause ultralow frequency sounds, or infrasonics—and while technically inaudible, they can be a real drain on power resources. As a solution, the EP2000 features a defeatable Low-Cut Filter that eliminates frequencies below either 50 or 30 Hz (depending on your PA system’s capabilities) for better sonic performance as well as the ultimate in loudspeaker protection. The rear panel also contains the Stereo or Bridged (mono) mode switches.

Inside the EP2000 you'll find industry-leading components, such as Toshiba/Fairchild power transistors, and a custom-designed, high-current toroidal transformer for ultrahigh transient response and further reliability. Independent DC and thermal overload protection on each channel automatically protects both the amplifier and your speakers.

The variable-speed exhaust fan, visible on the back panel, is the final stage of an internal back-to-front cooling system that keeps the EP2000 comfortably within its normal operating range. Finally, an impact-resistant, all-steel 2 RU rackmount chassis protects your investment from the rigors of the road.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use 2 of these for my Atmos speakers 4 speakers?

A: So long as your Atmos speakers were spec'd for a program power rating of 200 watts at 8 ohms per speaker, then yes this amp could work. To maintain 4 channel separation, you would want to run 2 amps for 4 speakers.

Q: 2. what will be the RMS wattage be with 6 ohm speakers, eg, cerwin vega xls 15 ?

A: Crown has not provided wattage ratings for 6 ohms, but they do list ratings for 4 and 8 ohms. We can use the specs listed for peak wattage to calculate RMS wattage at 4 and 8 ohms. 6 ohms is going to be right in the middle so you can get a better idea of how it would perform with your speaker. At 4 ohms, the XLS 2502 is rated at 775W per channel and 2400W bridged for peak power, which works out to approximately 550W per channel and 1700W bridged for RMS power at 4 ohms. At 8 ohms, the XLS 2502 is rated at 440W per channel and 1550W bridged for peak power, which works out to approximately 310W per channel and 1100W bridged for RMS power at 8 ohms.

Q: 3. Can I use it for Live Church Service?I want to take the Line Out of my Church Amp and get 4 Outputs to put 4 Powered Speakers around the Hall.

A: yes you can do that. Remember, all cables are 1/4 inch.

Q: 4. HOW MANY WATCH IN 8 OHMS LOAD AND 4 OHMS LOAD?

A: The Gli pro PVX-9000 will be about 350 Watts at 8 ohms and about 500 watts at 4 ohms.

Q: 5. How does this compare to the xli800?

A: This XLS 1002 provides built in DSP, specifically a band pass filter per channel, an integrated crossover system, and limiters. As well, this amp also provides through connections for linking multiple amps together.

Q: 6. Is that 775watts at hz or khz?

A: Neither. The power rating for an amplifier is not related to the frequency response. The 775 Watt power rating for the Crown XLS 2502 Stereo Power Amplifier is for each channel when the amp is operating at 4 Ohms. This means the amp will deliver 775 Watts to each channel to drive a 4 Ohm speaker. The maximum power the amp can output will vary depending on the impedance of the speakers that are connected. With an 8 Ohm speaker the amp delivers 440 Watts per channel and with a 2 Ohm speaker the amp delivers 1200 Watts per channel. When speakers with lower impedance ratings are use the amp will deliver higher amounts of power.

Q: 7. can I use a 2002 and 2502 both bridged without significant problems?

A: The amps can each operate safely in bridged mode as long as you are connecting them to speakers that are compatible with the power and impedance ratings.

Q: 8. I saw in pics that it's has some kind of selector For 220v, it's multivoltage?thanks!

A: Unfortunately, the Crown Audio XLS 1002 does not feature a worldwide power supply. They come factory set to work in the region in which they have been sold to; in our case, North America. The marking in the back with the various voltage selections are just an indicator of the options available through crown, but are most definitely marked by region.

Q: 9. Can you daisy chain two of these? I have one already and need more outputs.

A: Sure you can.

Q: 10. Would this work on a Pyle PASW15 subwoofer?

A: Yes, you can use the PTA1000 power amp with PASW15 subwoofers.
