A road-ready portable PA that plays MP3s
Need a quick and easy way to set up your presentation? The EPS500MP3 from Behringer is an all-in-one portable PA system that goes nearly anywhere and can fill a mid-size to large room with clear, powerful sound. And if you want to add pre-recorded audio to the mix, its built-in MP3 player lets you reach your audience with your digital files easily. And whether you're in a church or a lecture hall, you can use the system's 8-channel mixer with reverb to make even the most complex presentation sound great.
Convenient and capable
The EPS500MP3 comes fully equipped with a pair of speakers and a detachable mixer, plus a dynamic microphone, a pair of speaker cables, and a power cord. The entire package weighs just over 40 pounds, making it eminently transportable from gig to gig. If you've got a social function where different people might be setting the system up, it's intuitive enough for even the most novice of audio enthusiasts. The speakers feature standard mounting pole sockets for placement flexibility.
The EPS500MP3's mixer fits comfortably in the rear of one of the system's speakers.
Sound you can count on
The EPS500MP3's 8-channel mixer gives you control over the audio without inducing panic attacks. Channels 1-4 feature Behringer's trademark XENYX mic preamps for clear sound with gusto, while the 2-band EQ (bass and treble) lets you set the tone of your event. You can even program the system to prioritize speaking voices over music, allowing your words to be heard as the music gets relegated to the background.
The built-in digital reverb processor lets you add a touch of sweetness to your singing or playing, allowing you to make your performance truly remarkable. And it's so simple to operate, you'll wonder how you got along without it before.
Built-in MP3 player
The dilemma: you want to add music to your presentation, but you don't want to lug around a portable CD player and connection cables. Just load up a thumb drive with the songs you need, and you can plug them right into the EPS500MP3's built-in USB port. You can manipulate the tracks on your thumb drive with the mixer's 4-button pad with random, play/pause, rewind, and forward controls.
Powerful audio
Behringer's custom-designed speakers feature 8" woofers and 1" compression tweeters, for distortion-free, ear-friendly sound at just about any volume. And with 500 watts at your disposal, you can take your party, wedding, or karaoke night to the limit. With the 48-volt phantom power on hand, you can even add condenser mics to the system.
Connections galore
The EPS500MP3 boasts 4 XLR connections for microphones, plus the same number of balanced and unbalanced 1/4" line-level inputs for electronic keyboards and other sources. You also get 2 pairs of RCA and 1/4" inputs on channels 5/6 and 7/8, allowing you to plug in the entire band without worry. The system's also compatible with Behringer's ULM Series wireless microphones, for those times when you want to perform untethered.
