Mackie M2000 Power Amps Review

Mackie M2000 Power Amp The M2000 is a 2000 watt power amplifier when operating in bridged mono mode. It can also drive a two channel stereo load at a maximum of 1000 watts per channel with 2 ohm speakers. It is designed to be used either in studio or live concert environments. The innovative cooling system features two variable speed fans which bring cool air in from the rear of the unit. When the amplifier is at idle, or operating at low volumes, the fans will remain off or spin at low speeds, ensuring that your recording or mixing sessions will not be disturbed by fan noise.

Transient attacks, such as a particularly energetic drum fill or bass pop, can often be the bane of a power amplifier's existence. These come across an amplifier at much higher volumes, which can result in audible distortion, damaging your speakers or other equipment, and offending the ears of your audience. The M2000 has a built in limiting circuit, which automatically senses transient attacks and reduces their volume to prevent the waveforms from clipping. This process is so transparent that you may not even hear it taking place. For studio or low volume operation, however, the limiting circuit can easily be disabled on a per-channel basis. The M2000 also has a crossover filter for each channel, allowing it to drive both a subwoofer and main speaker simultaneously or power a bi-amplified speaker.

For those musicians who keep their amplifier running at high levels all day, the M2000 introduces some innovative new features designed to increase efficiency, and therefore the life of the unit. One of these is a 2-rail Class H electrical design, which utilizes additional power rails only when they are absolutely required. This avoids the common problem of an amplifier losing its efficiency, and increasing greatly in temperature, when it is used at higher volumes. The M2000 is an extremely solid package, weighing in at 41 pounds. It is backed by Mackie's five year limited warranty.

Based in Washington State, Mackie is a provider of various types of sound reinforcement technology including mixers, loudspeakers, and amplifiers. They are a relatively new player in the power amplifier market, but continue to make a splash with each new release. Mackie M2000 Power Amplifiers are part of a new class of power amps, determined to offer one of the most efficient amplifier designs ever, along with a high degree of user friendliness.

Mackie M2000 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
* Rated for a maximum output of 2000 watts (mono, bridged), or 1000 watts per channel in stereo mode
* Adaptive circuitry limits transient attacks, preventing clipped waveforms from damaging your speakers
* High efficiency design draws extra current only when needed, keeping the unit running in near silence when operated at low volumes
* Crossover filter available for each channel, allowing for simultaneous subwoofer and main speaker, or bi-amplified, operation

Behringer euroPower EP2500 Power Amps Review

Behringer EP2500 Power Amp A reliable, powerful and high quality audio amplifier is an essential component of any professional sound system. Whether you play the occasional party gig, or are jamming five days a week at a local club, you never want an embarrassing equipment malfunction to ruin the festivities. The Behringer euroPower EP2500 Power Amps can make the difference between a decent show and an amazing performance. These amplifiers have features that are often only found on far more expensive amps; you won’t get a better amp for the same price from any other manufacturer.

Careful and meticulous German engineering and high quality parts employed in the construction ensure that you’ll be able to keep the beats churning for years to come. The simple and straightforward layout of this amplifier belies the extensive work done to produce an amp that delivers dependable protection against distortion, overloading and overheating. Reliability and quality is due in no small part to the Toshiba/Fairchild high-power transistors and a high-current toroidal transformer that help channel all those guitar riffs and bass slaps cleanly. Low-frequency 30 Hz or 50 Hz filters prevent infrasonic sounds from making their way to your woofers. Sounds below this range are all but inaudible to the human ear while simultaneously requiring the most energy to produce. A filter will prevent an accidental tap of the microphone, for example, from reaching the rest of your system.

The amps can either be configured to run 2 x 1200 watts into 2 Ohms or 2400 watts into 4 Ohms in bridged operation. They are powerful enough for most functions – unless you’re planning to perform in a cavernous amphitheater – you should have sufficient amplification to make the floor shake and damage some eardrums. Behringer euroPower EP2500 Power Amps have been raved about for years, loyal consumers proudly tout the great value and results they have attained by sticking with Behringer.

Other Features Include:
-LED clip indicator helps you monitor your system and keep it running optimally.
-Additional connections are optional in the event you want to run extra amps in parallel operation.
-2-channels, either operating parallel or bridged mono, can be limited independently in order to more flexibly protect against distortion.
-Steel chassis and rugged exterior components can withstand heavy use and occasionally punishment
-Amplifier and speaker protection is afforded through both DC and thermal overloading protection.
-Professional connectors, balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs

Behringer euroPower EP4000 Power Amps Review

Behringer EP4000 Power Amp If you’re in the market for mid-sized music amplifiers, consider investing in euroPower EP4000 Power Amps by Behringer. They offer excellent road reliability, superior sound quality, and an impressive 4,000 watts of power. Moreover, their surprisingly low price is easy on a musicians budget.

Behringer euroPower EP4000 Power Amps come with all the standards plus a few extras. As for basics, you’ll appreciate the user-friendly front panel controls. The Power LED light indicates when the equipment is ready, and signal LEDs light up when a signal is detected. Each channel has an independent gain dial, and you’ll get handy clip LEDs that indicate when the gain needs to be adjusted. With the power, signal, and clip LEDs, you’ll be able to monitor and troubleshoot your amplification at a glance.

For special features, turn to the EP4000’s easily accessible back panel. Switch on the Low Cut Filter to eliminate ultra-low frequency sounds (30Hz or 50Hz).

Another special option on the amplifier’s back panel is the Clip Limiter. With the flip of a switch, you can use the amplifier at full power without worrying about the clipping that comes with overdrive. Built-in circuitry will automatically detect overdrive and momentarily reduce input to avoid distortion. In our experience, the detection and correction processes were so efficient that any distortion escaped the audience’s perception.
