Behringer A500 Reference Studio Power Amplifier

- Category: Live Sound/PA

-- Subcategory: Power Amps

Producer: Behringer

Price: $199.95

Description:
This ultra-linear power amplifier is the top choice for recording studios and post-production work, yet its amazing price is just the beginning. You get true audiophile-grade performance that delivers 2 x 230 Watts into 4 Ohms or 500 Watts into 8 Ohms bridged, with enough overhead to always keep you on the safe side. The A500's advanced convection-type cooling system guarantees stable, noise-free operation, while its servo-controlled design can drive virtually all passive speakers.

Feature:
Had features you would expect from an amp except only 1 year warranty where other companies offer 2-3 year. They must know something we don't.

Quality:
After 1 1/2 years and only 322 hours of home recording time, one of the channels blew.

Value:
There are better deals out there in performance, value and durability.

Desirability:
I wouldn't give 2 cents to anyone for this product

Sound:
Just an average sound, not great but not trash either.

Ease of Use:
It's an amp

Support:
Beringer made every attempt to get out of making repairs claiming improper use and ignorance of its purpose and use.

Overall:
After doing the Warranty Waltz with Beringer and burying my poor amp yesterday, I've decided to replace the other Beringer unit I own ASAP.
