EUROPOWER EP1500/EP2500 TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD Dear Customer, welcome to the team of BEHRINGER users, and thank you very much for expressing your confidence in us by purchasing this power amplifier. Writing this foreword for you gives me great pleasure, because it represents the culmination of many months of hard work delivered by our engineering team to achieve a very ambitious goal: to develop two outstanding power amplifiers, whose flexibility lets them respond to all the P.A.
+ EUROPOWER EP1500/EP2500 If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately. Otherwise, claims for damage or replacement may not be granted. Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place your EUROPOWER amp on top of other heatemanating equipment or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating. The mains connection is made via the enclosed power cord and a standard IEC receptacle.
EUROPOWER EP1500/EP2500 These are the Speakon® outputs (channels 1 and 2). When running the unit in mono-bridged mode (see chapter 2.3.5), please use the channel 1 output exclusively. For further information on Speakon ® connectors please refer to chapter 4.1. These are the output terminals (channels 1 and 2). When running in mono, please make sure to use both middle connectors to connect your loudspeaker. + BREAKER (automated fuse).
EUROPOWER EP1500/EP2500 3. APPLICATIONS + Running EUROPOWER amplifiers in conjunction with 8-Ohm speakers with a power rating of at least 2 x 260 Watts (EP1500) and 2 x 450 Watts (EP2500) is recommended to assure optimal operation. 3.1 Differences between 2-channel, parallel and mono-bridged operating modes 2-channel mode is the most common operating mode of amplifiers. Both channels operate fully independently from one another. There is always a separate input signal as well as a separate output signal.
EUROPOWER EP1500/EP2500 Fig. 3.4: DIP switch positions for parallel operation When running in mono-bridged mode, the voltage of both channels is added up and fed into a single loudspeaker system. There is one input and one output signal respectively, and only the controls of channel 1 (and not of channel 2) are used. + Fig. 3.
EUROPOWER EP1500/EP2500 The BEHRINGER EUROLIVE SERIES loudspeakers are an outstanding solution for expanding your P.A. system, because each frequency range/application has a speaker type that optimally suits its characteristics. + Extreme clip limiter settings in bi-amp operating mode can result in balance shifting. 4. INSTALLATION Your EUROPOWER can be installed into a 19" rack and requires two rack units. Please use four attaching screws and washers for installation.
EUROPOWER EP1500/EP2500 When using binding post connectors, please make sure that insulation on cables is not removed too high. Insert the naked part of the cable fully so that no metal is visible. Cable clamps must be isolated to avoid the possibility of electric shock. When running the amp in mono-bridged mode, always use the middle two binding post connectors, paying attention to correct polarity.
