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. A precise level meter and clip indicators are provided for accurate performance monitoring. Input connections are laid out on balanced XLR, 1/4'' TRS and RCA connectors, making sure you never run out of connectivity options. Plus, the speaker outputs give you a choice between professional ''touch-proof'' binding posts and 1/4'' TS connectors. To assure years of trouble-free operation, we only use the ultra-reliable Toshiba® or Fairchild® high-power transistors that are known for their rock-solid reputation. In addition to all these features, an independent thermal overload protection system with LED indicators for each channel automatically protects both your amplifier and your speakers. Last but not least, we have relied on a tough high-current toroidal transformer for absolute reliability and lowest noise interference possible.

You and your clients deserve the very best in studio power amplification. Get the A500 and it will be love at first sight: it is super affordable, super effective and super flexible!

First of all I was pleased the amp did not get hot or overheat, as I have never used a convector cooled amp before,like many people I expect, I am use to a fan chugging round to cool them.To have no fan noise was good.Clean sound and good preformance all round(and a good price)I used it for disco work and I must put the amp in a rack soon as the air holes on the top of the amp most probably will get beer splashes in if I don\'t.Nice compact size for a 500w amp.If Behringer would have put a link input jack socket next to the main one(for slaving up)I would have given 10/10

Only nine out of ten because, whilst this has been a fine piece of kit for a really great price, and never let me down, it is I fear a little quiet for something rated at 500w. I use a 450watt amp as well in a stereo set up and it out performs the a500 every time. Nontheless reliable, clean sound and no other complaints.

I bought this amp for use as a live monitor for playing keyboards through. I've gigged it several times now and it has been excellent. Although fairly heavy, it is compact and well built; I'll probably put it in a rack case eventually but until then I'm confident it won't get too bashed about. The connectivity is sensible; no captive mains lead and jack ins/outs mean that you can just stick a line level input in and a speaker out, plug in a kettle lead and you're away.

Sound quality isn't really paramount for stage monitoring, but it has a good clean sound even at high levels. I've been using it in bridged-mono to get levels for very loud stages and it behaves fine. I've not yet had a problem with getting enough welly out of it from a line-level source.

The front-panel level metering is useful, and clear at all times.

It is obviously being sold more as a PA/studio monitor amplifier, which is fine, and a handy bonus for me as it'll probably end up having a second use as a small PA amp; it has the appropriate balanced inputs for such uses.

For the price, you can't really argue with this and it's a very handy thing to have around.
