The EP2000 and EP4000 represent
everything musicians love about our
popular EP1500/EP2500—excellent sound
quality, road-worthy toughness and
reliability, low-noise operation and
incredible power. With 2,000 and
4,000-Watts respectively, the EP20
and EP4000 ampli ers are perfect for
medium-sized club gigs, mobile PA systems,

Everything you need, nothing you don’t
The über-simple front panel controls
of these amps give you all of your sound’s
vital signs at a glance. After ipping the
MAIN switch, the POWER LED will light
when the amp is ready for action. Both
channels have independent gain dials
as well as clip LEDs that indicate when
the signal is distorted and you need to
reduce the gain. There are also SIGNAL
LEDs that light up when a signal is present
at the input.
Panel discussion

even more out of the ampli er without
overdriving either it or your speaker
system. Built-in circuitry automatically
senses when the EP2000 or EP4000 is
being overdriven into “clipping” and then
momentarily reduces the input level to
avoid clipping distortion. This all happens
in a few thousandths of a second, so it’s an
inaudible way of avoiding audible clipping
distortion. Of course, you can turn the
Limiter o if you’re feeling lucky.
Ultra-low frequency sounds
(infrasonics) are caused by rickety stage
vibrations, mic thumps and wind noise.
While technically inaudible, they can cause
a huge drain on amp power, potential
damage to your speakers and a sludgy
sound in the audible bass ranges. Both EP
models feature a defeatable Low Cut Filter
that chops o unwanted frequencies
below 50Hz or 30Hz (depending on your
PA system’s capabilities).
The same panel contains the switches
that allow you to put these amps to work
in either stereo or bridge (mono) mode.
Both the EP2000 and EP4000 can be linked
to additional power amps by switching
into parallel mode.

These amps have guts
There’s plenty of awesome features on
the outside of the EP2000 and EP4000,
but there’s also a team of cool components
on the inside helping it work its magic.
They come loaded with famously reliable
Toshiba/Fairchild power transistors as well
as a high-current toroidal transformer for
ultra-high transient response and further
reliability. Independent DC and thermal
overload protection on each channel
automatically protects the ampli er
and speakers from any show-stopping
meltdowns. There’s no need for
fuses, giving you one fewer potential
mid-gig headache.

(channel 1)
The EP2000 and EP4000 have
both XLR and ¼" TRS inputs. Even the
outputs are totally exible, consisting of
Speakon-compatible outputs and ve-way
binding posts. Whether you’re dealing with
bare wire or boutique audiophile cabling,
the EP2000 and EP4000 are right at home.
The exhaust fan, visible on the back
panel, is the nal stage of an internal frontto-back cooling system that keeps these
amps working in the mild temperatures
they love, even through periods of
extended use. Finally, an impact-resistant,
all-steel 2U rack-mount chassis helps
these workhorses stand up to all the rigors
of the road.
