Need a power amp to drive your passive studio monitors? Behringer’s Reference Amplifier A800 offers audiophile-grade sound at a price that’s ideal for home and project studios. The A800 offers impressive clarity and transparency, thanks to its ultra-linear performance. What’s more, its advanced convection-cooling technology ensures stable, noise-free operation, while its servo-controlled design accommodates nearly every passive speaker system. You also get independent DC, LF, and thermal overload protection on each channel to safeguard the amp and your speakers. The A800 is at home in numerous applications — it offers both stereo and bridged-mono modes, precise level metering, comprehensive input connections, and rugged twist-lock binding post outputs.
Versatile design delivers top-notch performance
The Reference Amplifier A800 is designed to do two things: offer impressive flexibility and deliver excellent sound. For typical stereo situations, it delivers a healthy 400 watts into each channel at 4 ohms. Need more power? No problem — in bridged-mono mode, the A800 delivers 800 watts into a single channel. No matter how you use it, the A800 exhibits remarkable headroom, resulting in pristine audio reproduction.
Lightweight and efficient Class D amplifier technology
Thanks to revolutionary Class D technology with near-zero thermal buildup, the lightweight Behringer A800 runs very cool, no more massive heat sinks or toroid transformers. We’ve been impressed with the punch and clarity of this Class D power amp, and we’re sure your band will be too.
Linear frequency response at any speaker load
The A800 punches well above its weight. Behringer’s SmartSense Technology yields a linear frequency response at any speaker load impedance. On top of that, the A800’s impressive damping factor offers superior amplifier control over your speakers, ensuring top-notch sound reproduction. When combined with quality loudspeakers, the A800 yields powerful, dynamic bass and ultra-smooth high frequencies.
