Product Information: 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 EP2000 and EP4000 amplifiers are perfect for  medium-sized club gigs, mobile PA systems, church services 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 flipping 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 DiscussionA panel of switches found on the back panel offers 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 amplifier 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 off 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 off 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.These Amps Have GutsThere’s plenty of awesome features on the outside of the EP2000 and EP4000,  but there’s also a team of cool components on the inside helping it work its  magic. They come loaded with famously reliable Toshiba/Fairchild power  transistors as well as a high-current toroidal transformer for ultra-high  transient response and further reliability. Independent DC and thermal  overload protection on each channel automatically protects the amplifier and  speakers from any show-stopping meltdowns. There’s no need for fuses, giving  you one fewer potential mid-gig headache.The EP2000 and EP4000 have both XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs. Even the outputs  are totally flexible, consisting of Speakon-compatible outputs and five-way  binding posts. Whether you’re dealing with bare wire or boutique audiophile  cabling, the EP2000 and EP4000 are right at home.
The exhaust fan, visible on the back panel, is the final stage of an  internal back-to-front cooling system that keeps these amps working in the  mild temperatures they love, even through periods of extended use. Finally,  an impact-resistant, all-steel 2U rackmount chassis helps these workhorses  stand up to all the rigors of the road.Accelerated Transient Response Delivers the Knock-Out 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 highslew 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. The Legend Powers On
If you read the reviews of the EP2000 and EP4000’s older brothers, the  EP1500 and EP2500, and it’s clear that those amps are renowned not only for  their performance and durability, but also their astoundingly low price  tags. The EP2000 and EP4000 extend that legacy to the next level. Why shell  out for a “Brand-X” amp when you can get a BEHRINGER EUROPOWER amp and have  money left over for other gear?
