Behringer Adds 12,000W Models to iNUKE Power Amp Line

Behringer has introduced its most powerful iNUKE Series amps-the iNUKE12000 and iNUKE12000DSP, which delivers 12,000 total watts -- 6,000W per channel at 2 Ohms, or 3,000W at 4 Ohms, weigh less than 18lb and occupy only two rack spaces each.

iNUKE amplifiers implement high-density class-D technology, which when combined with their ultra-efficient switch-mode power supply, deliver tremendous punch. They run cooler and don't require massive heat sinks and heavy toroidal transformers typically found in traditional amplifiers.

The front panel controls and indicators provide users vital information at a glance. Both channels feature positive-detent Gain controls with Signal LEDs that light when a signal is present, as well as clip LEDs to indicate when the signal is distorted. "Zero-Attack" limiters offer maximum output level with reliable overload protection. There is also a built-in subwoofer/satellite crossover for even more flexibility. Input connectors on the iNUKE are XLR and ¼" TRS combination jacks for compatibility with any source. Professional twist lock speaker connectors are found on the back panel.

For sound engineers requiring high-level control capability, iNUKE DSP Series amplifiers come with built-in DSP and 24 bit/96 kHz converters to ensure the ultimate signal integrity with an extremely broad dynamic range. The DSP functions include a sophisticated delay, crossover, EQ (eight parametric, two dynamic), and dynamics processing with lockable security settings. All iNUKE DSP models can be set up, controlled, and monitored via the front panel USB connector.

"iNUKE power amps have been wildly successful because they're dependable, put out massive amounts of power, yet weigh so very little thanks to our revolutionary high-density class-D technology" says Costa Lakoumentas, senior vice president of marketing at the Music Group. He continues, "But we think we may have outdone ourselves with the new iNUKE NU12000, which packs a whopping 12,000W total output!"
