Introduction 5
Introduction1.
By purchasing one of the BEHRINGER EUROPOWER ampliers,
you have selected a piece of high-end gear. This unit was deve-
loped for professional use in live applications, and its rich list of
features will make it a dependable part of your equipment with a
diverse set of possible uses.
The EUROPOWER amps feature for example an input lter
for each channel, enabling you to remove the disturbing low-
frequency portion of the signal. Additionally, there is a limiter that
protects your loudspeakers. Various operating modes, such as
parallel or mono mode, open up various possibilities for effective
implementation with the rest of your audio equipment, leaving no
wishes unanswered.
This manual rst describes the terminology used, so +

functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it
for future reference.
