BEHRINGER EUROPOWER EPQ304 Power Amplifier

Four speakers from one amplifier.

Some rooms need more than a left and a right. The EPQ304 has four channels, each with its own gain control, combo input and locking speaker output. One unit can feed four speakers.

Inputs that take either cable

Each XLR/¼" TRS combo jack accepts balanced signals, and ¼" TS plugs for unbalanced ones. Input sensitivity is 0 dBu, and frequency response runs from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Stereo, mono or bridged

A sliding MODE SWITCH on the rear chooses MONO, STEREO or BRIDGE. In bridged mode, the EPQ304 bridges two pairs of channels. Its outputs connect to speakers through twist-locking plugs.

Levels you can read across the rack

White signal LEDs on each channel show -20, -10 and 0 dB. If the blue LIMIT LEDs light continuously, lower the GAIN CONTROLS until they light only occasionally.

Cooled and protected

A continuously variable speed fan moves air from right to left. Protection covers short circuit, overcurrent, DC faults and heat. Rack ears secure it with four screws and washers, not included.
