Behringer EPS500 Portable MP3 Player

Here's what Behringer say about the EPS500MP3

Looking for the ultimate, all-in-one portable PA system? The EUROPORT EPS500MP3 sets up in less than five minutes and delivers articulate, high fidelity performance – yet weighs only 41.3 lbs/18.8 kg. Thanks to the custom-designed 2-way loudspeakers and detachable 8-channel, 500-Watt powered mixer with onboard mp3 player, Reverb and wireless microphone connectivity, the EPS500MP3 can easily fill a large-sized room with crystal-clear, vibrant sound – making you the star of your event!

Superb Sound Quality

Since our founding in 1989, we have been recognized for manufacturing some of the best-sounding audio mixers, amplifiers and loudspeakers on the planet – so it should come as no surprise that the EPS500MP3 provides far superior sound quality than other products in this class. The two satellite loudspeakers, each with a custom-designed 8" woofer and 1" compression driver, provide the rich sonic performance you would expect from a much larger system. And with 500 Watts of stereo output, the EPS500MP3 has the power to deliver your message loud and clear, and keep the party going all night.

Marvellous Mixing

Channels 1 - 4 of the detachable powered mixer feature our high-quality XENYX Mic Preamps, which have been praised by audio professionals for their transparency and massive headroom. What does this mean to you? It means you get a truly clean input signal without any unwanted coloration or distortion. We’ve provided +48 Phantom Power, so you can even use studio-grade condenser mics – and we’ve given each input channel our highly musical 2-band EQ (Bass and Treble). System optimization couldn’t be easier, just flip the Music/Speech switch to select the proper equalization for your purpose. We’ve also included a user-defeatable Voice-Over-Priority function that automatically lowers the stereo channels when you’re on the mic – so all of your important announcements will be heard.

The Sweet Sound of Reverb

If you’re making a speech, chances are you won’t need it, but if you’re playing a musical instrument and/or singing, you might want to add some effects. So, we’ve included a great-sounding digital Reverb processor to help sweeten your performance. This studio-grade vocal effect will have you sounding just like a pro, and it is so easy to use.

Onboard MP3 Player

One of the coolest features of the EPS500MP3 system is its embedded mp3 player. Just plug in your favorite playlist (via USB stick) and use the 4-button pad with its Random, Play/Pause, Rewind and Forward control switches. From break and background music to high resolution karaoke performance tracks, this mp3 player can handle it all.

Own the Stage with Digital Wireless

Get wireless-ready with the built-in, dedicated connectivity of our ULTRALINK ULM Series wireless microphone system (to be ordered separately). Wireless gives you maximum freedom and mobility without the need to run cables. The highest-quality sound is provided thanks to the ULM’s digital, license-free 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum.

The ULM wireless system combines professional-quality sound with simple setup and an intuitive interface for legendary audio performance right out of the box. Just plug in the ULM receiver “dongle”, and instantly you have an exceptional wireless mic system. Freeing you from cables is the simple and easy way to own the stage.

Custom-Engineered Transducers

Powerful amplifiers and Switch Mode Power Supply technology sure sounds impressive – but what about the part of the system you actually hear? Our LF (Low Frequency) and HF (High Frequency) transducers are designed specifically for each application – it’s what sets us apart from the competition. When you buy an EPS500MP3 portable PA system, you can rest assured that the transducers inside have been engineered to perform flawlessly in conjunction with every other element for truly professional results. The EPS500MP3's powerful 8'' woofers and 1'' compression transducers crank out rock-solid low end, with articulate, detailed mids and crystal-clear highs.

It’s All About Connections

The EPS500MP3 comes ready for your input, literally. Channels 1 - 4 accept balanced XLR mics, as well as balanced and unbalanced ¼" line-level sources, such as electronic keyboards and the like. Stereo channels 5/6 and 7/8 accommodate RCA and ¼" inputs, such as drum machines, keyboard sound modules, etc. All in all, there are enough mic and line-level inputs to handle a small band.

Everything You Need

When it’s time for the show to begin, setting up the sound system should be easy, right? That’s why we put everything you’ll need into one beautiful, easy to move and use package. We even provide a storage compartment for the included XM1800S microphone, mic cable, 2 speaker cables and other accessories, so you never have to search for what you need – it’s all in there. And when the show is over, just put everything back in its place, latch it all together and wheel it away. It just doesn’t get any easier than this!

Sound Value

Whether you’re giving a speech at the company picnic, pounding out original music in the garage, or cranking it up at the neighbourhood bar, we think you’ll agree the EPS500MP3 provides extreme value as a complete, portable PA solution. Visit your local Behringer dealer, or get yours online today!
