BishopSound BP4k 2 Channel Power Amplifier 3000w RMS

The BP4K is a 2-channel Class D Power Amplifier with 3000 watts RMS of output power. At 4 ohms the BP4k 2 x 1500 watts at 8 ohms and 2 x 1000 watts of power. Professional amplification requires locking powercon input not IEC kettle lead. A fast push-to-make circuit breaker protects the amplifier at the rear mains input.

Class D amplification ensures a truly powerful sound inside a 1u compact and lightweight unit. With full protection against short-circuiting, overheating, DC voltage, power on/off transients and soft-start, the BP4k power amp ensures a safe, reliable performance.

There are level controls for each channel and the steel chassis housing also includes 2 x XLR inputs and 2 x SpeakOn outputs.

Power, signal and clip lights reveal the status of each of the 2 channels whilst 4 hi-speed thermally controlled fans draw air in through the front and out at the rear.

Protection:

• Soft Start
• DC
• Short Circuit
• Overload

Designed to run down to 200v at which point the amplifier will go into protect mode. As soon as the voltage is restored you can use the amplifier again. This is important if you are running a power amplifier off a generator with an unstable power regulator.

Always use a power conditioner with this product for your safety and to protect your expensive PA.

1U amplifiers must be kept cool! High-speed fans are built-in but the only source of airflow is from the front vents so it is of the utmost importance to check monthly and keep these clean and free from clogging up with dust and dirt. Amplifiers will not be repaired under warranty if they fail due to overheating caused by poor maintenance and dust/dirt blocking the cooling vents.
