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

[13] BREAKER (automated fuse). After eliminating the cause of  
faulty operation, simply depress the BREAKER and power  
up the unit again. The BREAKER acts in place of common  
discardable fuses.  
2.3.2 Input filter  
The LF (high-pass) filter removes frequencies below 30 and  
50 Hz respectively. The reproduction of the signal’s bass portion  
is thus optimized, since ultra-low, distracting frequencies are  
eliminated, and more power is available for the reproduction of  
the wanted segment of the signal. Engaging and disengaging  
the filters is done by using the switches 3 (ch. 1) and 8 (ch. 2).  
Switches 2 (ch. 1) and 9 (ch. 2) determine the cut-off frequency.  
As long as the filter is disengaged, frequencies below 5 Hz are  
cut to prevent damage.  
You should set up the filters so they best suit the frequency  
response of your speakers, since some speakers (e.g. bass reflex  
speakers) are particularly sensitive to over-excursion below the  
listed frequency range.  
Caution  
!
Before engaging the BREAKER switch, you should power  
down the unit (POWER switch set to OFF)!  
[14] Power is supplied via an IEC connector. The matching  
cable is provided with the unit.

[16] Here you can find a detailed overview of the individual  
MODE SWITCHES functions ({9}).  
The 50 Hz filter should be engaged when using broadband  
speakers because the filter provides a moderate amplification in  
the 100-Hz range, resulting in a fuller sound. The 30 Hz filter  
is ideally suited for subwoofer operation as well as for broad-  
band cabinets. The “Off” setting should be used only for special  
applications (e.g. studio applications), in which recognizing and  
subsequently removing infra-sound is important.  
2.3 Configuration switches  
(MODE SWITCHES)  
Fig. 2.3: Dip-switches  
2.3.1 Clip limiter  
When the input signal connected to your amp is too high, you  
end up with a distorted output signal. To prevent this, both  
channels of your EUROPOWER feature a clip limiter that can  
be engaged or disengaged selectively. The limiters automati-  
cally recognize distortion and lower amplification until distortion  
is reduced to a tolerable level. To preserve the dynamic charac-  
teristics of the signal when low distortion levels are occurring,  
the clip limiters function with moderate suppression. Use  
switches 1 (ch. 1) and 10 (ch. 2) to activate the clip limiters.  
When using broadband loudspeaker systems, the clip limiter  
reduces high frequency distortions which occur when an  
amplifier is overloaded. The drivers are thus protected from  
being damaged.

2.3.3 2-channel mode (stereo)  
The mono-bridged mode puts added demands on amplifier  
and speakers. Excessive distortion may occasionally com-  
pletely mute the amp’s outputs as well as cause permanent  
damage to the speakers. Please assure that your speakers  
(minimal impedance 4 Ohms) as well as the cables used can  
handle the extra power generated in this mode.  
Both channels of your amp function independently from  
one another in this operating mode, and each has its own  
input signal. Two independent speakers are connected at the  
outputs. To activate this operating mode, please set the MODE  
SWITCHES 4 and 5 to “STEREO”.  
When running the unit in two-channel mode, the switches  
for mono-bridged mode must be disengaged (dip switches  
6 and 7 in left position).  
3. Applications  
Running EUROPOWER amplifiers in conjunction with  
8-Ohm speakers with a power rating of at least  
2 x 400 Watts (EP2000) and 2 x 750 Watts (EP4000) is  
recommended to assure optimal operation.  
2.3.4 Parallel mode  
Running in parallel mode enables you to feed a signal via one  
of the inputs into both outputs. Each channel drives its own  
loudspeaker with independent amplification, filter and limit  
characteristics. To link the inputs, set the MODE SWITCHES  
4 and 5 to “PARALLEL INPUTS”.  
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.  
Mono-bridged mode switches must be disengaged when  
running in parallel mode.  
With inputs set to parallel, you can use the remaining input  
connectors to feed the signal into additional amplifiers.  
This means that the channel 2 inputs function as outputs.  
The parallel mode is well-suited for applications in which  
driving two speakers with the same signal but with separate  
amplification, filter and limiter settings is desired.  
2.3.5 Mono-bridged mode  
This operating mode enables you to add up the respective  
voltage of both channels and use it to drive a single loudspeaker.  
The voltage is therefore doubled, the peak power is quadrupled,  
and program power is roughly three times as high as that of the  
individual channels. The input, output, gain, filter and limiter  
controls belonging to channel 1 are used when running in mono-  
bridged mode. The controls belonging to channel 2 are not used.  
To prevent signal cancellation due to internal phase inversion,  
the GAIN control belonging to channel 2 must be turned to its  
left-most position.  
Use this operating mode to route the power from both channels  
to a single 8-Ohm or 4-Ohm load. To do so, set up the switches  
6 and 7 to “BRIDGE MODE ON”. To use the binding posts as  
your output, you MUST use the two middle posts only.

Examples:  
Parallel mode is identical to 2-channel mode, except for the  
2-channel (stereo) playback  
Two independent mono signals, e.g. instrument signal  
and monitor mix  
inputs of both channels are internally connected in parallel. One  
input signal routes parallel both channels, while their filters etc.  
are independently controlled.  
Bi-amp operation, whereby bass frequencies are run  
on channel 1, and high frequencies on channel  
2 (see chapter 3.2 “Bi-amping”).  
Examples:  
A mono signal is fed into both channels, whereby amplification  
of each channel is controlled separately.  
Parallel mode (as described above) with connection of an  
additional amp via the remaining free input connector.  
The input signal is present there and may be connected to  
further equipment.  
When connecting a balanced input signal, please make sure  
to exclusively use balanced cables for passing the signal  
further on. Otherwise, a single unbalanced cable can turn  
the entire signal unbalanced.

Fig. 3.6: DIP switch positions for mono-bridged mode  
Fig. 3.4: DIP switch positions for parallel operation  
When running in mono-bridged mode, the voltage of both chan-  
nels 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.  
When the amp is overdriven for longer periods of time,  
the output signal may occasionally be muted for several  
seconds. In certain situations, excessive overdriving may  
trigger off the automated fuse. To avoid overdriving the  
amp, please continually make sure that an appropriate  
volume level is applied.  
However, should the DIP switches 4 and 5 still be in  
PARALLEL INPUTS position while in mono-bridged mode,  
the signal on the free input (input channel 2) can be  
forwarded to an additional amp.

mono-bridged mode.  
When connecting a balanced input signal, please make sure  
to exclusively use balanced cables for passing the signal  
further on. Otherwise, a single unbalanced cable can turn  
the entire signal unbalanced.  
Safety precautions for mono-bridged operation  
Running your amp in mono-bridged mode can quickly  
result in excessive overdriving and premature shutting  
down of the unit itself. In the worst-case scenario, your  
loudspeakers may be damaged permanently. Therefore,  
you should always make sure that the speakers you use can  
indeed handle the power load fed into them.  
A voltage of up to 100 V RMS is present between the output  
connectors of the EP4000. Always implement appropriate  
safety precautions when connecting your speakers to avoid  
the risk of electric shock.

3.2 Bi-amping  
By using an active crossover, you can divide up the frequency  
range into several bands. For example, in doing so you can split  
a mono signal into upper-frequency and lower-frequency ranges.  
These two signals can then be hooked up to the inputs of your  
amp, so that channel 1 amplifies the lows and channel 2 ampli-  
fies the highs (2-channel operation). The outputs are connected  
to a 2-way speaker, whereby the output signal 1 drives the  
woofer and output signal 2 runs the drivers. Of course, you can  
use two separate speakers instead of a single 2-way speaker.  
A stereo signal can also be split up analogous to the example  
described above. However, to do that you need two 2-way  
speakers or 4 separate speakers, two EUROPOWER amps and  
an active 2-way stereo crossover. The BEHRINGER SUPER-X  
PRO CX2310 is optimally suited for this task and offers  
additionally a single mono-subwoofer output. By deploying a  
third EP2000 amp (preferably in mono-bridged mode) and a  
subwoofer, you have a perfect setup that adds a low-frequency  
system to the stereo bi-amp application (see fig. 3.7). The amp’s  
input filters for the high/mid-frequency ranges should in this  
case be engaged and set at 50 Hz. To remove low, disturbing  
frequencies from the signal, the input filter for the subwoofer  
signal should be set at 30 Hz.  
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. Reinforce the back end, especially for  
on-the-road use. Please assure that enough cool air reaches the  
rack, especially when other rack equipment emanates a lot of  
heat. In the case of the EUROPOWER EP2000 and EP4000,  
hot air circulates at the front of the unit to thermally relieve the  
rack enclosure.  
Fan speed adjusts automatically and assures safe  
operation. Never block ventilation openings. Should  
internal temperature reach extreme values, the unit will  
shut down automatically.  
Fig. 4.1: Professional speaker connectors  
Whenever possible, use thick and short speaker cables  
to minimize power losses. Never lay output cables near  
input cables.  
4.1 Connections  
Inputs  
4.1.1 Using the binding posts  
Each channel features balanced XLR and ¼" TRS stereo jack  
inputs, with input impedances of 20 kΩ (balanced) and 10 kΩ  
(unbalanced). In general, balanced signals cause less noise than  
unbalanced signals.  
To connect the loudspeakers to the amplifier’s binding posts,  
please do the following:  
1) Switch off the amp and disconnect it from the mains  
(unplug mains connector).  
For balanced input signals, use the XLR and ¼" TRS stereo  
inputs. For unbalanced input signals, use the unused pin of the  
XLR connector with grounding. No alteration is necessary on  
mono jack connectors.  
2) Remove the protective plastic covers shielding the binding  
posts by loosening the two screws on the right-hand side of  
the connections and lift the plastic cover upwards.  
3) Attach the terminal of your loudspeaker cable to the  
corresponding binding post.  
Should you register distractive signals such as noise or  
hissing, we recommend separating the amp input from the  
signal source. This way, you can quickly determine if the  
noise originates in the equipment connected to the amp.  
Always make sure to completely lower amplification of both  
channels before powering up the amp (GAIN control turned  
all the way leftward). Otherwise, permanent damage to  
your speakers may occur.  
4) Place the protective plastic covers into its original upright  
position on each binding post and replace the two screws.  
Never operate the device without the protective plastic  
covers in place!  
Outputs  
Your EUROPOWER offers several output connection  
possibilities: two professional speaker connectors and two pairs  
of touch-safe binding posts. The professional speaker connectors  
were especially developed for driving high-power speakers. They  
snap in securely, prevent electric shock and assure correct  
polarity. The upper connector drives either one or both channels,  
and is therefore well-suited for mono-bridged operation (1+/2+).  
The lower connector carries the signals from channel 2 only.  
Fig. 4.2: Protective plastic covers shielding the binding posts  
 
 
EUROPOWER EP2000/EP4000 User Manual  
11  
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.  
Caution  
*
If you notice naked cable endings on the binding post  
connectors, do not power up the amp because of the risk  
of electric shock.  
Fig. 4.4: ¼" TS connector  
4.1.2 Connecting to the mains  
Always connect your EUROPOWER amplifier to the voltage  
specified on the rear of the device. Connecting the amp to an  
incorrect voltage can permanently damage your amp.  
Before powering up the amplifier, double-check all connections  
and fully lower the gain setting.  
4.2 Audio connections  
Various cables are needed for different types of applications.  
The following illustrations show the correct wiring. Always use  
high-grade cables.  
When connecting a balanced input signal, please make sure  
to exclusively use balanced cables for passing the signal  
further on. Otherwise, one single unbalanced cable can  
turn the entire signal unbalanced.

[5]. Any repair or opening of the unit carried out by unauthorized personnel  
(user included) will void the warranty.  
[6]. If an inspection of the product by BEHRINGER shows that the defect in  
question is not covered by the warranty, the inspection costs are payable by  
the customer.  
[2]. If the warranty claim proves to be justified, the product will be returned to  
the user freight prepaid.  
[7]. Products which do not meet the terms of this warranty will be repaired ex-  
clusively at the buyer’s expense. BEHRINGER will inform the buyer of any  
such circumstance. If the buyer fails to submit a written repair order within  
6 weeks after notification, BEHRINGER will return the unit C.O.D. with  
a separate invoice for freight and packing. Such costs will also be invoiced  
separately when the buyer has sent in a written repair order.  
[3]. Warranty claims other than those indicated above are expressly excluded.  
§ 4 Return authorization number  
[1]. To obtain warranty service, the buyer (or his authorized dealer) must  
call BEHRINGER during normal business hours BEFORE returning the  
product. All inquiries must be accompanied by a description of the problem.  
BEHRINGER will then issue a return authorization number.  
[2]. Subsequently, the product must be returned in its original shipping carton,  
together with the return authorization number to the address indicated by  
BEHRINGER.  
§ 6 Warranty transferability  
This warranty is extended exclusively to the original buyer (customer of retail  
dealer) and is not transferable to anyone who may subsequently purchase this  
product. No other person (retail dealer, etc.) shall be entitled to give any war-  
ranty promise on behalf of BEHRINGER.  
[3]. Shipments without freight prepaid will not be accepted.  
§ 5 Warranty regulations  
§ 7 Claim for damage  
[1]. Warranty services will be furnished only if the product is accompanied by a  
copy of the original retail dealer’s invoice. Any product deemed eligible for  
repair or replacement under the terms of this warranty will be repaired or  
replaced.  
Failure of BEHRINGER to provide proper warranty service shall not entitle  
the buyer to claim (consequential) damages. In no event shall the liability of  
BEHRINGER exceed the invoiced value of the product.
