Me thinks this is a little overkill J[/quote] Behringer are renowned for having a very casual relationship to reality when it comes to numbers. Someone on here (not sure who) pointed out on a similar product (Bugera) that if it really was 3600W, it'd be drawing 15A from the mains. Doesn't leave much left for anyone else on the same circuit. Anyway, anyone can see this is stupid marketing 'mine's bigger than yours' oneupmanship taken to extremes. I can't remember the math, but the power / loudness relationship is not linear anyway, i.e. this is not 12 times as loud as a 300W amp. Edit: doh! it is the same amp as previously discussed. If I could be bothered I'd post a link, but I cant so I wont. Edited September 3, 2009 by SteveO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylon Pilson Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 That'll be 3600W PMPO. The RMS rating (as used by other manufacturers) will be much less. S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry norton Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 In spite of what the write up says it [i]does[/i] look like it's "just about the power". Any write up that uses the word 'ultra' is bound to be a let down. Gimme 100 watts of EL34 power anytime.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Only Behringer would be so desperate to attact attention with such a powerful amp that they feel the need to talk in peak power rather than continuous RMS power! Despite it only having about half the claimed power it's still more than enough to kill any of their cabs... I wonder how much of the R&D on this amp involved a competitor's product and a photocopier? Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 why would anyone buy this? Even if it was that powerful, the only people who would need it would play in large venues, and chances are then they can afford to buy better quality equipment...

alexclaber Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 If they are using the truly comic PMPO 'standard' then by that measure the power amp in my U5/PLX rack is 12000W. Pwned, I do believe. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG.J Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thats 3200w more than my PA!! Thing is, What cabs would they expect someone to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamapirate Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 cmon, thats just an attention cry- 'look at me I'm powerful!' If it really was as powerful as it implies (which it aint as it's not RMS) then they wouldn't need to boast about it... like apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Aye - total nonsense those figures. If you multiply the mains current drawn (~10A) by the voltage (~240) and then give them a guesstimated 90% efficient power supply, that's somewhere just over 2kW I reckon. Mind you, the difference in audible output between 2 and 4kW is almost nothing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'm sure I read somewhere that the power module they use is 900W RMS (450+450, I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
