3000-Watt, Lightweight Stereo Power Amplifier with ATR Technology

Behringer's new EPX 3000 amp is based on groundbreaking switch-mode technology which eliminates the heavy transformer. As a result, the EPX3000 weighs around 40% less - in fact the EPX3000 is just 22 lbs./10.10 kg, and you can lift it up almost with one finger. Best of all Behringer's super-reliable switch-mode power supply provides an even tighter bass performance as it can deliver ultra-high peak currents.

The secret to the EPX series’ incredible power-to-weight ratio is their use of a switching-mode power supply combined with Class-H topology. Switching-mode power supplies work on demand. 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, switching-mode 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”). One engine runs all the time. The other runs only when musical peaks demand extra power output. An EPX-3000 Class H amp only generates a fraction more power than is immediately needed while the output stage operates at its maximum efficiency all the time.

And just like in today’s hybrid cars, the efficiency of this dual system is far greater than having one engine or rail that must operate all the time. The EPX3000  don’t waste power. Class H amps don’t waste power, require much smaller heat sinks and much lighter power transformers.
