    Behringer A500

    I just got a Behringer A500 to power some small DIY 10" subs. I'm using an active crossover upstream of the A500. The high-pass output is going to active loudspeakers, and the crossover is expecting the low-pass amplifier to have a voltage gain of 25x (28 dB). The A500 has gain knobs on the front, but the knobs are only labeled with dots, no unit of measure whatsoever!

    For those of you who have used the A500 in your systems, do you have any idea what the gain knobs actually do? I want no gain/attenuation engaged whatsoever - as the spec sheet lists 28 dB as the nominal gain. I could pull out a voltmeter and a test disc, but I was hoping someone could come back with a simple answer like "the knob provides attenuation only; for 28dB gain turn it all the way up."

    Thanks.

    Hello All, I have a question concerning the Behringer A500. It says in its specifications that when driving 8 ohm speakers it produces 125 watts per channel. It seems to me that this is very low. So an Onkyo receiver that specifies 135 watts per seven channels at 8 ohms, actually puts out more wattage...

    Vintage stuffs vs. Behringer A500
    by Raptor550
    I was wondering is some of the people around in the 70's could give me some feedback. Basically its past Hi-Fi vs. modern day Mid-Fi. (midfi in relation to the super expensive gear that is.)

    Currently I have a Pioneer SA-7500 40w cont. x4. and a Kenwood KA-7100 60W per Channel x4 with a+b....

    Behringer a500 as a subwoofer amp?
    by Raptor550
    I have almost built a box for a dayton hf390 and I found out my amp is bust. I was thinking of something like a bash 500 plate amp, but I do not have alot of cash to work with. Right now I havent carved a hole in my box for an amp so I thought of useing an external amp for now.

    by Sonnie Parker
    I have spoken with Behringer and they have shown serious interest in designing a replacement for the BFD that is more suited to the consumer market. As many of you may already know... the DSP1124 has been discontinued. The replacement FBQ2496 only offers 1 preset and still doesn't get us many of the...

    Why does my Behringer a500 sound tiny?
    by jimluu
    I hope it's ok to post this question here. I just bought a complete behringer system consisting of 3 a500 amps, the dcx 2496 and the deq 2496. I tested the amps by using one unbalanced output from my existing preamp, but all 3 a500s sound like tiny transistor radios. Am I doing something wrong?
