Thank you

Thank you for choosing a BEHRINGER EUROPOWER amplifier.
This piece of high-end gear was developed for professional use
in live applications, and its many features make it a useful and
dependable part of your sound system.
The EUROPOWER amps feature an input filter for each channel,
enabling you to remove the low-frequency portion of the
signal, if desired. Additionally, there is a limiter that protects
your loudspeakers. Various operating modes, such as parallel or
mono-bridged mode, open up various possibilities for effective
implementation with the rest of your audio equipment for almost
any application.
This manual first describes the controls and connection points
so that you fully understand the EUROPOWER amplifier and its
functions. Then it delves into the various applications where the
EUROPOWER amp can be used, and finishes with more details on
installing and making the connections to the amplifier.
Have fun with your new amplifier.
