1. INTRODUCTION
By purchasing one of the BEHRINGER EUROPOWER amp-
lifiers, you have selected a piece of high-end gear. This unit was
developed for professional use in live applications, and its rich
list of features will make it a dependable part of your equipment
with a diverse set of possible uses.
We are often asked how we manage to produce such high-
quality devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is
quite simple: it’s you, our customers! Many satisfied customers
mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing
terms for components, etc. Isn’t it only fair to pass this benefit on
to you? Because we know that your success is our success
too!
The EUROPOWER amps feature for example an input filter for
each channel, enabling you to remove the disturbing low-
frequency portion of the signal. Additionally, there is a limiter that
protects your loudspeakers. Various operating modes, such as
parallel or mono mode, open up various possibilities for effective
implementation with the rest of your audio equipment, leaving no
wishes unanswered.
I would like to thank all of you who have made the EUROPOWER
power amplifiers possible. You have all made your own personal
contributions, from the developers to the many other employees
at this company, and to you, the BEHRINGER user.

1. INTRODUCTION
EUROPOWER EP1500/EP2500
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to
BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping
company immediately. Otherwise, claims for damage
or replacement may not be granted.
+
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation,
and never place your EUROPOWER amp on top of other heat-
emanating equipment or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk
of overheating.
ATTENTION!
The mains connection is made via the enclosed power cord
and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all international safety
certification requirements.
+
We would like to bring your attention to the fact
that extremely loud sound levels may damage your
hearing as well as your loudspeakers. Please lower
both GAIN controls leftwards before powering up
the unit. Be sure to keep the volume at an
appropriate level.
+
Please make sure that all units have a proper ground
connection. For your own safety, never remove or
disable the ground conductor from the unit or the
AC power cord.
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
Since control elements of both the EP1500 and the EP2500 are identical, we have used the EP1500 as the model represented in the
illustrations to assure simplicity.
2.1 Front panel
Fig. 2.1: Front panel control elements
The main switch is used to power up the amp.
The CLIP LED lights up when the signal is distorted. Should
distortion occur, reduce the input level, so that the CLIP
LED stops lighting up.
+
Please take note: Merely switching the unit off does
not mean that it is fully disconnected from the
mains. When not using the unit for prolonged
periods of time, please unplug the unit’s power cord
from the power outlet.
The SIGNAL LED lights up as long as a signal is present
at the input.
The GAIN control (channels 1 and 2) is used for setting
up the input gain.
Ventilation openings are located at the front of the unit, so
that hot air is prevented from being trapped inside the unit,
thus causing faulty operation or even damage.
The POWER LED lights up as soon as the unit is powered
up.

+
To prevent faulty operation, please assure that the
unit is kept at a distance from other appliances
emanating heat.
Switches 2 (ch. 1) and 9 (ch. 2) determine the cut-off frequency.
As long as the filter is disengaged, frequencies below 5 Hz are
cut to prevent damage.
These are the Speakon® outputs (channels 1 and 2). When
running the unit in mono-bridged mode (see chapter 2.3.5),
please use the channel 1 output exclusively. For further
information on Speakon® connectors please refer to
chapter 4.1.
You should set up the filters so they best suit the frequency
response of your speakers, since some speakers (e.g. bass
reflex speakers) are particularly sensitive to over-excursion
below the listed frequency range.
The 50 Hz filter should be engaged when using broadband
speakers because the filter provides a moderate amplification in
the 100-Hz range, resulting in a fuller sound. The 30 Hz filter is
ideally suited for subwoofer operation as well as for broadband
cabinets. The “Off” setting should be used only for special
applications (e.g. studio applications), in which recognizing and
subsequently removing infra-sound is important.
These are the output terminals (channels 1 and 2). When
running in mono, please make sure to use both middle
connectors to connect your loudspeaker.
BREAKER (automated fuse). After eliminating the cause
of faulty operation, simply depress the BREAKER and
power up the unit again. The BREAKER acts in place of
common discardable fuses.
2.3.3 2-channel mode (stereo)
+
Attention: Before engaging the BREAKER switch,
you should power down the unit (POWER switch
set to OFF)!
Both channels of your amp function independently from one
another in this operating mode, and each has its own input signal.
Two independent speakers are connected at the outputs. To
activate this operating mode, please set the MODE SWITCHES
4 and 5 to “STEREO”.
Power is supplied via an IEC connector. The matching
cable is provided with the unit.
+
When running the unit in two-channel mode, the
switches for mono-bridged mode must be
disengaged (dip switches 6 and 7 in left position).

Here you can find a detailed overview of the individual
Running in parallel mode enables you to feed a signal via one
of the inputs into both outputs. Each channel drives its own

characteristics. To link the inputs, set the MODE SWITCHES 4
and 5 to “PARALLEL INPUTS”.
MODE SWITCHES functions (
).
2.3 Configuration switches (MODE SWITCHES)
+
Mono-bridged mode switches must be dis-
engaged when running in parallel mode.
With inputs set to parallel, you can use the remaining input
connectors to feed the signal into additional amplifiers. This
means that the channel 2 inputs function as outputs.
The parallel mode is well-suited for applications in which driving
two speakers with the same signal but with separate amplification,
filter and limiter settings is desired.
2.3.5 Mono-bridged mode
This operating mode enables you to add up the respective
voltage of both channels and use it to drive a single loudspeaker.
The voltage is therefore doubled, the peak power is quadrupled,
and program power is roughly three times as high as that of the
individual channels. The input, output, gain, filter and limiter
controls belonging to channel 1 are used when running in mono-
bridged mode. The controls belonging to channel 2 are not used.
To prevent signal cancellation due to internal phase inversion,
the GAIN control belonging to channel 2 must be turned to its left-
most position.
Fig. 2.3: DIP-switches
2.3.1 Clip limiter
When the input signal connected to your amp is too high, you
end up with a distorted output signal. To prevent this, both
channels of your EUROPOWER feature a clip limiter that can be
engaged or disengaged selectively. The limiters automatically
recognize distortion and lower amplification until distortion is
reduced to a tolerable level. To preserve the dynamic
characteristics of the signal when low distortion levels are
occurring, the clip limiters function with moderate suppression.
Use switches 1 (ch. 1) and 10 (ch. 2) to activate the clip limiters.
Use this operating mode to route the power from both channels
to a single 8-Ohm or 4-Ohm load. To do so, set up the switches
6 and 7 to “BRIDGE MODE ON”. To use the binding posts as your
output, you MUST use the two middle posts only.
When using broadband loudspeaker systems, the clip limiter
reduces high frequency distortions which occur when an
amplifier is overloaded. The drivers are thus protected from
being damaged.
+
The mono-bridged mode puts added demands on
amplifier and speakers. Excessive distortion may
occasionally completely mute the amp’s outputs
as well as cause permanent damage to the
speakers. Please assure that your speakers
(minimal impedance 4 Ohms) as well as the cables
used can handle the extra power generated in this
mode.
2.3.2 Input filter
The LF (high-pass) filter removes frequencies below 30 and
50 Hz respectively. The reproduction of the signal’s bass portion
is thus optimized, since ultra-low, distracting frequencies are
eliminated, and more power is available for the reproduction of
the wanted segment of the signal. Engaging and disengaging the
filters is done by using the switches 3 (ch. 1) and 8 (ch. 2).

3. APPLICATIONS
+
Running EUROPOWER amplifiers in conjunction with
8-Ohm speakers with a power rating of at least 2 x
260 Watts (EP1500) and 2 x 450 Watts (EP2500) is
recommended to assure optimal operation.
3.1 Differences between 2-channel, parallel
and mono-bridged operating modes
2-channel mode is the most common operating mode of
amplifiers. Both channels operate fully independently from one
another. There is always a separate input signal as well as a
separate output signal.
Fig. 3.2: DIP switch positions for 2-channel operation
Examples:
Parallel mode is identical to 2-channel mode, except for the
inputs of both channels are internally connected in parallel. One
input signal routes parallel both channels, while their filters etc.
are independently controlled.
s
s
2-channel (stereo) playback
Two independent mono signals, e.g. instrument signal and
monitor mix
Examples:
s
Bi-amp operation, whereby bass frequencies are run on
channel 1, and high frequencies on channel 2 (see chapter
3.2, “Bi-amping”).
s
A mono signal is fed into both channels, whereby amplifi-
cation of each channel is controlled separately.
s
Parallel mode (as described above) with connection of an
additional amp via the remaining free input connector. The
input signal is present there, and may be connected to
further equipment.
+
When connecting a balanced input signal, please
make sure to exclusively use balanced cables for
passing the signal further on. Otherwise, a single
unbalanced cable can turn the entire signal
unbalanced.

+
When the amp is overdriven for longer periods of
time, the output signal may occasionally be muted
for several seconds. In certain situations,
excessive overdriving may trigger off the
automated fuse. To avoid overdriving the amp,
please continually make sure that an appropriate
volume level is applied. CAUTION: 2-Ohm loads
should never be applied when in mono-bridged
mode.
When running in mono-bridged mode, the voltage of both
channels is added up and fed into a single loudspeaker system.
There is one input and one output signal respectively, and only
the controls of channel 1 (and not of channel 2) are used.
+
However, should the DIP switches 4 and 5 still be
in PARALLEL INPUTS position while in mono-
bridged mode, the signal on the free input (input
channel 2) can be forwarded to an additional amp.
When connecting a balanced input signal, please
make sure to exclusively use balanced cables for
passing the signal further on. Otherwise, a single
unbalanced cable can turn the entire signal
unbalanced.
Examples:
s
s
Driving a single 8-Ohm loudspeaker.
Driving a single 4-Ohm loudspeaker.
Safety precautions for mono-bridged
operation
Running your amp in mono-bridged mode can quickly
result in excessive overdriving and premature shutting
down of the unit itself. In the worst-case scenario, your
loudspeakers may be damaged permanently. Therefore,
you should always make sure that the speakers you use
can indeed handle the power load fed into them.
A voltage of up to 100 V RMS is present between the
output connectors of the EP2500. Always implement
appropriate safety precautions when connecting your
speakers to avoid the risk of electric shock.
3.2 Bi-amping
By using an active crossover, you can divide up the frequency
range into several bands. For example, in doing so you can split
a mono signal into upper-frequency and lower-frequency ranges.
These two signals can then be hooked up to the inputs of your
amp, so that channel 1 amplifies the lows and channel 2 amplifies
the highs (2-channel operation). The outputs are connected to a
2-way speaker, whereby the output signal 1 drives the woofer
and output signal 2 runs the drivers. Of course, you can use two
separate speakers instead of a single 2-way speaker.
Fig. 3.5: Mono-bridged mode
A stereo signal can also be split up analogous to the example
described above. However, to do that you need two 2-way
speakers or 4 separate speakers, two EUROPOWER amps and
an active 2-way stereo crossover. The BEHRINGER SUPER-X
PRO CX2310 is optimally suited for this task and offers
additionally a single mono-subwoofer output. By deploying a
third EP1500 amp (preferably in mono-bridged mode) and a
subwoofer, you have a perfect setup that adds a low-frequency
system to the stereo bi-amp application (see fig. 3.4). The amp’s
input filters for the high/mid-frequency ranges should in this
case be engaged and set at 50 Hz. To remove low, disturbing
frequencies from the signal, the input filter for the subwoofer
signal should be set at 30 Hz.

outstanding solution for expanding your P.A. system, because
each frequency range/application has a speaker type that
optimally suits its characteristics.
Your EUROPOWER can be installed into a 19" rack and requires
two rack units. Please use four attaching screws and washers
for installation. Reinforce the back end, especially for on-the-
road use. Please assure that enough cool air reaches the rack,
especially when other rack equipment emanates a lot of heat. In
the case of the EUROPOWER EP1500 and EP2500, hot air
circulates at the front of the unit to thermally relieve the rack
enclosure.
+
Extreme clip limiter settings in bi-amp operating
mode can result in balance shifting.
+
Fan speed adjusts automatically and assures safe
operation. Never block ventilation openings. Should
internal temperature reach extreme values, the
unit will shut down automatically.
4.1 Connections
Inputs
Each channel features balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS stereo jack
inputs, with input impedances of 20 kΩ (balanced) and 10 kΩ
(unbalanced). In general, balanced signals cause less noise
than unbalanced signals.
For balanced input signals, use the XLR and 1/4" TRS stereo
inputs. For unbalanced input signals, use the unused pin of the
XLR connector with grounding. No alteration is necessary on
mono jack connectors (see plug type illustrations on page 10).
+
Should you register distractive signals such as
noise or hissing, we recommend separating the
amp input from the signal source. This way, you
can quickly determine if the noise originates in
the equipment connected to the amp. Always
make sure to completely lower amplification of
both channels before powering up the amp (GAIN
control turned all the way leftward). Otherwise,
permanent damage to your speakers may occur.
Outputs
Your EUROPOWER offers several output connection possi-
bilities: two Neutrik NL4MD Speakon® connectors and two pairs
of touch-safe binding posts. The Speakon® connectors were
especially developed for driving high-power speakers. They snap
in securely, prevent electric shock and assure correct polarity.
The upper Speakon® connector drives either one or both channels,
and is therefore well-suited for mono-bridged operation (1+/2+).
The lower connector carries the signals from channel 2 only.
Fig. 4.1: Speakon® connectors

Whenever possible, use thick and short speaker
cables to minimize power losses. Never lay out
output cables near input cables.

4.1.1 Using the binding posts
4.2 Audio connections
To connect the loudspeakers to the amplifier’s binding posts,
please do the following:
Various cables are needed for different types of applications.
The following illustrations show the correct wiring. Always use
high-grade cables.
1.
Switch off the amp and disconnect it from the mains (unplug
mains connector).
+
When connecting a balanced input signal, please
make sure to exclusively use balanced cables for
passing the signal further on. Otherwise, one
single unbalanced cable can turn the entire signal
unbalanced.
2.
Remove the protective plastic covers shielding the binding
posts by loosening the two screws on the right-hand side
of the connections and lift the plastic cover upwards.
3.
4.
Attach the terminal of your loudspeaker cable to the corres-
ponding binding post.
Place the protective plastic covers into its original upright
position on each binding post and replace the two screws.
Never operate the device without the protective plastic
covers in place!
Fig. 4.2: XLR connections
Fig. 4.3: 1/4" TS connector
Fig. 4.4: 1/4" TRS connector
Fig 4.2: Protective plastic covers shielding the binding posts
When using binding post connectors, please make sure that
insulation on cables is not removed too high. Insert the naked
part of the cable fully so that no metal is visible. Cable clamps
must be isolated to avoid the possibility of electric shock. When
running the amp in mono-bridged mode, always use the middle
two binding post connectors, paying attention to correct polarity.
+
ATTENTION! If you notice naked cable endings on
the binding post connectors, do not power up the
amp because of the risk of electric shock.
4.1.2 Connecting to the mains
Always connect your EUROPOWER amplifier to the voltage
specified on the rear of the device. Connecting the amp to an
incorrect voltage can permanently damage your amp.
Before powering up the amplifier, double-check all
connections and fully lower the gain setting.
