If you just want one high powered single channel you connect as shown in the manual for a total of 600W(peak) if that speaker is 8 ohm. Do a google search on measuring power(RMS vs Peak Power) and note that a typical speaker load can vary at different frequencies. The test in the manual are probable done with just an 8-ohm resister and a 4-ohm resister. RMS Power to me is more meaning to me if they say "continuous" and "both channels driven" at a reasonable low distortion THD level. **Q: I have a pair of jbl control 25-1 speakers i am using on one channel. where should i put the tap setting on the back of the speaker?** A: Hi Brian. With this amp you'll want to set the speakers to "Thru", which in stereo mode will give you 8 ohms with a RMS power output of 125 watts which is plenty loud for home use, or even a small cafe / restaurant etc. If however, your thinking about using this amp and your speakers for a larger venue and want to use the Bridge / Mono mode, I wouldn't do it - not yet anyway. You'll need 2 more speakers I think to safeguard your equipment from disaster. Behringer specs say : "Keep in mind the minimum power impedance of 4 Ohms per channel in stereo mode. When in mono-bridged mode, a loudspeaker whose impedance is at least 8 Ohms must be used. " Now I'm not a engineer, but my understanding is that the best setup for you in bridge / Mono mode would be to have 2 sets of speakers, each set wired in parallel will give you 4 ohms per set, Then connect the two sets in series for a total of 8 ohms which will give you a output of 375 watts RMS power, and Peak power of 600 watts. I can send you some reading material if you need further clarification. As always, keep reading and ask questions if your unsure of something. Also check support and Forums at Behringer and JBL... Better safe than sorry ! **Q: What's the distortion? This amp weighs 4 lbs less than my Onkyo 100W RMS @ 8 ohm power amp, which weighs 23 lbs and has a lot more circuitry inside.** A: For the price, this is one of my cleanest amps (for the price, this isnt a $4,000 tube amp). I use one for my center and one for my two front towers. I let my Onkyo 900something amp power my rears. Its very clean and has good dampening factor at high volumes. Other amps I have had, in high action passes of movies, the amp suffers, like amplified receiver sound. **Q: I am interested in hooking up 2 definitive technology shelf speakers, a powered sub, older tv via rca cords, and a bluetooth receiver. Will this work?** A: Probably so, but it's much easier if the receiver had the features that have the output jacks to drive an external amps and/or subs. The A500s have the typical high input impedance so line levels of typical receivers can easily drive them. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Simply perfect except one item *by M***0 on Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2011* This amp is brain dead simple to setup and use. You can use it as a standard two channel stereo amp or you can use it as a double power single channel mono amp. There is some confusion as to it's rated power due to it's single/stereo capability, whether it is powering four or eight ohm speakers and whether you want the maximum peek power rating or maximum RMS power rating. To help people decide I'm including the real power ratings of this amp in this review.The following power stats are at less than 1% distortion (THD):4 ohm stereo speakers = 185 watts RMS (300 watts peek)8 ohm stereo speakers = 125 watts RMS (175 watts peek)8 ohm mono speaker = 375 watts RMS (600 watts peek)Distortion < 0.01%Frequency Response 20Hz-20Khz, +0/-1 dBSignal to noise >100 dBThis amp is very nicely built and feels like a tank. It's heavy and the case is made of steel. There are minimal amounts of sturdy plastic used on the front. The volume potentiometers feel solid and turn smoothly with a slight clicking feeling at predetermined points to help you adjust each channel to the same level. Physically it should last a lifetime of usage. It accepts balanced (1/4"/XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs.It uses 1/4" connectors for the speaker outputs which make for a clean and secure speaker connection. Using 1/4" connections for speakers allows you to easily switch speakers quickly. I bought a cheap 50' Pyle 12 gauge cable with 1/4" plugs and cut the cable into two to make two 25' cables for my speakers that needed bare/banana wires. It made a very nice looking industrial setup and the cables will take a lot of abuse compared to cheap speaker wires.The quality of the sound is perfect to my very picky ear. I cannot hear any hiss/noise/static/hum/distortion/etc... I use this amp mainly for listening to music. My setup is basically this: a computer (with good DAC) to play FLAC lossless music, Behringer A500 amp and Behringer 2031P speakers. I have zero complaints about the quality of the sound produced. My instincts tell me that I could spend $5000 and still not have a better system from a sound quality perspective. The sound produced by this setup is absolutely flawless. I bought the Behringer speakers on clearance at the local music store for about $120/pair. I have a system that costs about $300 and sounds better than anything I have ever heard before. This amp produces a very clean and accurate sound.Since the amp is separate from the speakers I have a lot of flexibility in how I setup my sound system. If a single component fails I will not have to throw away an entire speakers/sound system. I've been using this amp daily for over 6 months without a single problem. It produces very little heat and I fully expect it to last decades. My only complain with this amp is the overly bright blue LED power indicator. The person who invented blue LED's should be shot. Blue LED light is by far the most annoying form of light ever created by man. I would not be one bit surprised if one day we find out President Bush ordered blue LED's to be installed in the Guantanamo, Cuba torture center to induce further agony to the victims held there. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars MISLEADING POWER RATING 2 x 185w in 4 ohm's, 375w Bridged into 8 ohm's *by M***X on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2013* The Amp itself is good for the price, in fact probably one of the better amp's at this price point. The amp produced clean sound, however I defiantly recommend a power conditioner, or you might experience some humming especially if your cables are not well shielded. The overall construction was solid, extended ears for rack mounting and power meter LED's for both right & left channels located between the two power knobs on front of amp. There is no feedback when turning the knob's, just a smooth glide like motion with power LED's indicating the amp's power level.My reasoning for giving this product 3 stars was due to the misleading power ratings of Amp, I had thought the listed rating were RMS, I would of never thought Behringer would list peak power as the advertised power rating. Technically, peak power isn't even a spec that consumers consider when shopping for an amp, this is an obvious fact that Behringer clearly ignored in hopes to mislead consumers to buy an amp that has far less power than was lead to believe. This is a dishonest sales tactic and hope potential buyers will not make the same mistake I did. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good clean power *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2015* Good clean power. I bought this amp and a Crown XLS1000 a week apart for my home surround system. The Crown is powering my infinity alpha 50's towers in stereo full range. I have it inside a cabinet so its getting no cool airflow when i touch it it's ice cooled. And I like my movies and music LOUD. I can push the crown to clip and it's not even breaking a sweat. The Behringer is in my wall unit exposed to the room temp. I am running it in bridged mono and the crossover is at 80mhz pushing my Infinity Alpha 37c center channel. If i push it to clip it can go into protection mode and it only did that once while i was learning where the sweet spot to my setup was. So i backed it off some and its hitting clip on some songs and movies and is working great. The reason for four stars is that it runs hot about 170 degrees to 180 when pushing it hard for extended periods of time. Like i said the crown is not even warm. Both have a very slight hum when turned on that i can hear in my speakers. The Behinger slightly louder. Some guys reported that the Behringer runs just warm. Not in my case i don't know if its due to the fact that I am using it in bridged mono. IMHO I don't think either amp is pushing What the rms spec's are. I think they are both over rated. But i can say this Both are Great amp's . and woke the pi$$ outta my speakers and made my home theater sound excellent. If i had to do it all over again i would have went with two Crown's but the crown whent up in price over the last week by $50. I paid $180 for the crown And $170 for the Behringer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/14219587-behringera500-professional-600-watt-reference-class-studio-power-amplifier-black](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/14219587-behringera500-professional-600-watt-reference-class-studio-power-amplifier-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
