Cookie Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi guys, Just been looking at the Behringer inuke nu6000 has anyone bought or tested one?? looking to use one for sub dutys not to sure if it's true on the power ratings but would be happy if it deliverd 1500w p/ch at 4ohms :) Also been looking at T.AMP Proline 3000 from thomann 2x 1500w 4ohms 2x 1800w 2ohms looks a well made amp for the price Looking to drive two Ev Deltamax 218 subs twin 18" 4ohms on a budget.

The "detailed specs" on the bellringer website contain rubbish that may impress a clueless fool with money but no sense, such as it "goes all the way to 11" and has "inuke mode power boost", but they OMIT to quote any meaningful numbers, like efficiency, continuous SPL, freq. response, rolloff, etc. When I first saw it, I thought it was the 1st April and along the lines of http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/legacy/belchfire_datasheet.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Beech Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Colleague of mine has just purchased (mainly to try) a pair of iNuke 6000 DSP. They seem really really good, the DSP software is great, does exactly what you need. Going to give them a run on a gig at the weekend I think. The 6000 doesn't seem to have 2ohm figures, nor does it have any bridged figures. I have come to the conclusion (perhaps wrongly) that the 6000 is probably 2 3000's together already bridged.......

Dave SA Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I think there is merit in your thinking Rob. A few colleagues have suggested that the 6000 is actually just ONE 3000, but with 6000 printed on the case and circuit board :). The Proline amps are well respected over at speakerplans forum. Many of the members either own or would recommend the amps to those on a budget and strong backs. The amp is a heavyweight. I'd definitely recommend the Thomann over the Behringer though as Thomann's support of the few amplifiers of theirs we have owned has been commendable. Even two and a half years after the purchase!

The iNuke 6000 lives here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iNuke 6000 lives here I think you're right, indeed I did :unsure: Perhaps the other one goes up to 12... Is it just me, but I struggle to take a product with a name like that seriously?

i_hate_fisicks Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I read somewhere on some forum that someone had managed to persuade Behringer to admit that their iNuke power figures were peak not RMS or some other meaninless figure. The pictures with the lid off go some way to back this up. The Proline 3000 is a man's amplifier though. Made of big lumps of pig iron. I'd wait for more conclusive user reviews of the iNuke if I were you. I came to the conclusion that they look too good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameskerr87 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Have you looked at the t-amp D3400 seems to be cheaper more powerful and over a third of the weight of the Proline 3000 and will only take up 1U of space. Heres a link to a comparison of the two from Thomann LINK HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave SA Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The proline beats the D series amps hands down on bass. It can actually go toe to toe with the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Thanks for your input guys,I've always been using Samson sx and QSC rmx amps on my system,never really used any behringer amps before looking at the power ratings looks to good to be true. On a budget looks like the proline 3000 might be good to drive my twin 18" subs build quality looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&L Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 re the reliability and optimism of behringer amps specifically - I have been running an EPQ200 for about 18 months now from new. the amp works in my rehearsal unit 4 to 8 hours a day for maybe 5 days a week and is out on the road powering a pair of 15" full range speakers either with or without separately powered subs. I leave it on from sound check at 7.30 til lo the end of the show usually 4 hours later. my point being that this amp has been working hard. it's light. robust and does it's job well day after day without complaining. frankly at 200 quid new its more than paid for it'self already. Peak and RMS are quoted in their brochure and the rating on the model number refers to their peak performance - their rating at RMS is supposed to be 700W per side at 4 ohm. when I bought the amp, I knew this and I knew that behringer figures have a habit of being optimistic - I reckoned I needed 500W to run my 15" full range speakers and I assumed that was probably what I was going to get. I haven't done any elaborate trials or taken any scientific measurements but the amp seems to do exactly that.so the amp does less than they say but by about 25%. and it does it with perfect reliability, all day long, all year long. and it's cheaper than anything else around the same weight. - mind you I should mention that it does so by being stepped not infinitely variable = but then you rarely need infinitely variable. with their new warrenty, replacement shouldn't be a problem for new purchasers and if you buy from our german friends you are covered anyway!If I had the money right now I would replace all my amps for these - and save all the back breaking pain!
