User manual BEHRINGER EPX3000 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Instead of constantly working at full power and dissipating excess power as heat, they only ramp up the power output when needed--thousands of times per second. Considerably more efficient than traditional power supplies, switchingmode power supplies are small and light, yet deliver ample power. Think of a Class H amp as a car with two engines (in amps, you call them "rails"). [. . . ] When combined with switching-mode power supplies that replace heavy toroid transformers, our new designs provide more dynamic punch and, because they are so much more efficient, run cooler and don't require huge, heavy heat sinks. BEHRINGER didn't invent Class H technology, but our R&D Department has been working for years to perfect our own version, creating lightweight amps that run cool and also achieve our goal of Accelerated Transient Response. Everything you need, nothing you don't The simple front panel controls of these amps give you all of your sound's vital signs at a glance. After pressing the Power Button, 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. Continued on next page Input Channel 1 IEC power socket.

Take your pick of professional locking speaker outputs or touch-proof binding posts to securely connect speakers. A panel of switches found on the back offers an array of cool options applicable to both channels. 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 amp 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.
