Behringer EP4000

[Sapphire Disco]

I guess many of you have probably already seen this but I've only just come across it , I think it looks like very good value for money and could handle most situations, what do you think ?

I think this is a new addition to their range, I haven't seen an EP4000 before.

However, if the EP2500 is anything to go by, then it shouldn't be a bad buy. According to many on speakerplans and squatjuice, the Behringer EP2500 is the best of the bunch by far, in the budget amplifier league.

As long as you remain mindful of its entry level price point, and don't abuse it like you can a VZ, you're unlikely to go far wrong. I'd probably err on the side of caution and not run it below 4r.

Seems a good price for such a high powered amp.

I abused mine for over 3yrs, I had 4x ep2500's bridged 4ohm doing Sub and Kick bass, kept them below clip onset and steeply filtered and they just kept going.
I was a bit apprehensive for the first few gigs but then stopped worrying...2 of them are still going doing a Karaoke install and two were sold to a free-party rig! (probably running some lovely 15" scoops!)

I see Blue Aran are going to be doing the ep4000 for £240...bargain! 'expected' march '09 so they should have them sometime around August!!

I have bought most of my speakers (drivers) from Blue Aran.
Great gear and great prices.

Yeah definately...I bought my 4x PD186's drivers and 4x ep2500's from them, they gave me a great discount and only charged me £18 for the carriage(140kg's)

Can that be serious????? 4000w at little over £250 notes?

I've never used that particular amp or any other berhinger amp, but I would seriously wonder what they've budgeted on to get it it to that retail price?

little, if any, R&D helps keep costs down

The Blue Aran site also shows a new EP2000 amp, roughly the specs of the 2500, yet £50 less. Will we see a heavy discounting of the old stock 2500's as the new one arrive?


Just think how many Class-d's I could drive with a 4000.
