Class-D - Massive Power, Perfect Sound
Thanks to our revolutionary Class-D ampli er technology, we are able to
provide you with enormous power and incredible sonic performance in an
easy-to-use, ultra-portable and lightweight package. Class-D ampli cation
makes all the di erence, o ering the ultimate in energy e ciency and
eliminating the need for heavy power supplies and massive heat sinks.
This amazing technology makes it possible to design and build extremelypowerful products that are signi cantly lighter in weight than their traditional
counterparts, while using less energy and protecting the environment.
MOSFET Preamp - High-Voltage, High-Headroom Tube Sound
BEHRINGER’s revolutionary high-voltage MOSFET preampli er rede nes solid-state bass tone, providing
the sound, feel and immense dynamics of an authentic tube amp. Like with real vacuum tubes, our new
MOSFET design equally operates at high voltages, providing this preamp with unheard of headroom
to honor all of your playing dynamics; from your subtly-nuanced signature ri s and bass lines, to your
most powerful, attention-grabbing solos. The BX2000H is all about tone, and this highly-versatile and
responsive MOSFET preamp provides an abundance of headroom for consistently crystal-clear and
faithful sound reproduction – no matter what style of music your gig calls for.
Studio-Quality Compressor Stairway to Heaven
Our studio-grade compressor is based on classic and famous
studio equipment from the 70's. This totally transparent and
musical compressor design allows your full dynamic range
to shine through until your signal reaches the compression
threshold, which is indicated by the highly visible status LED.
The compressor increases sustain and gently smooths out
signal peaks, which is especially handy when you're laying down
the funk, à la slap and pop – or hammering home your mostaggressive metal lines. The resulting output level lets you unleash
powerful and impact-laden bass lines, while still sitting right
where you need to be in the mix!

DYNAMIZER Technology - The Secret Weapon
What is known as Parallel_Compression
technique used as a secret weapon in high-end sound recording and mixing. Parallel compression
is achieved by mixing an unprocessed "dry", or lightly compressed, signal with a heavily compressed
version of the same signal. Rather than bringing down the highest peaks for the purpose of dynamic
gain reduction, it reduces the dynamic range by bringing up the softest sounds, adding audible
detail. It is most often used on stereo percussion buses in recording and mixdown, on electric bass,
and on vocals in recorded and live concert mixes.
Now this amazing technology is available to you! We have integrated parallel compression in
our DYNAMIZER technology to provide you with tone and dynamics that are unheard of to date.
By working directly with the ampli er, our DYNAMIZER technology adds incredible detail and powerful,
fat punch, so your sound is always impeccable, whether you're playing super-soft – or at the extreme
volume levels that push a dB-meter to the max! DYNAMIZER allows you to take full advantage of
every single Watt of your ampli er!

Sound O
As bass players ourselves, we know that only the ultimate in tonal exibility will do, so we designed
the BX2000H to satisfy the most-demanding bassist – you! It all starts with the vintage-style VU meter
for precise input signal level monitoring. That signal is handed o to an extremely musical 5-band EQ
that helps you easily dial-in any tone you can imagine. And since we all want a little extra sometimes,
BX2000H's Deep and Bright switches are always there to launch your tone into the sonic stratosphere!
Add to this a dedicated and switchable Shape lter, which o ers an extremely wide sonic palate and
powerful control over the character of your tone, and you've got all the tone-shaping ability you could
ever need. A handy Mute switch allows you to tune up silently, and the separate Active and Passive
inputs allow you to jump between your favorite basses in a ash.
