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 at Sweetwater, 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.
