Weight Stereo Power Amplifi ers with ATR
(Accelerated Transient Response) Technology
Ultra-light, built on a legacy
Power amps have always been
heavy, mainly because of the massive
transformers and huge banks of capacitors
needed for high-power operation. In fact,
six conventional power amps in a rack can
easily top 250 pounds. The same number
of EPX Series amps come in at just under
134 lbs./61 kg, and they pack all the power
of their conventional counterparts!”
In a class of their own
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 effi cient than
traditional power supplies, switchingmode 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 Class H amp
only generates a fraction more power than
is immediately needed while the output
stage operates at its maximum effi ciency
all the time.

Power Amps
And just like in today’s hybrid cars, the effi ciency
of this dual system is far greater than having one
engine or rail that must operate all the time. EPX
amps don’t waste power. Class H amps don’t waste
power, require much smaller heat sinks and much
lighter power transformers.
Accelerated Transient Response delivers the
knock-out punch
It takes huge pulses of energy (current and
voltage) to propel a woofer cone out fast enough to
match a bass beat. That’s called Transient Response
and it’s the holy grail of amp designers. By carefully
selecting transistors with extremely high slew
rates and optimizing other proprietary parts of our
circuitry, our amps are able to react instantly to even
the most demanding electronic bass impulses. If
the woofers in your PA system can keep up, your
audience will hear a tighter, crisper, more natural
sound.
Instead of operating relatively continuously
like Class AB circuits, Class H amps, which were
fi rst described in NASA technology (U.S. patent
3,319,175), feature rail tracking for eff ectively
modulating the power supply rails with only the
peaks of the input signal. This technology has
revolutionized pro audio amp designs with its
outstanding performance and effi ciency. When
combined with switching-mode power supplies that
replace heavy toroid transformers, our new designs
provide more dynamic punch and, because they are
so much more effi cient, run cooler and don’t require
huge, heavy heat sinks.
BEHRINGER didn’t invent Class H technology, but
our R&D Department has been working for years
to perfect our own version, creating lightweight
amps that run cool and also achieve our goal of
Accelerated Transient Response.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
The simple front panel controls of these amps
give you all of your sound’s vital signs at a glance.
After pressing the Power Button, 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.
