Behringer EUROPORT EPS500MP3 Ultra-Compact 500 Watt 8 Channel Portable PA System with MP3 Player, Reverb and Wireless Option

Used the EPS500mps for the first time tonight 29 may 2015. I am a Zumba Instructor, and teach in a med sized venue. I set it up in about 3 mins with the speakers about 15 feet apart each one sitting on a chair. I ran it from my mobile phone Galaxy s5 using the 5/6 inputs with a twin 6.5 jack to single jack to go in the phone. Had this channel on about 75%, the main on about 50% and the phone volume on max. It was very loud and very clear no problem at all heard every bits of the song as you should do., plenty of volume left if needed so would be ok for a large hall of say 60 plus Zumba Class or perhaps more. I dont know about any of the other features this has got as Zumba is all I will use it for, but I am sure its more than adequate for bands etc. All the leads i need for Zumba fit well into one of the speakers, ie one power lead, two 5m speaker leads, and the lead for the phone to the mixer. I like the quick release just using your fingers to acess the mixer and leads, some you have to use a coin. Weight wise its not light but i carried both to and from my car to the Zumba class about 100m one in each hand and it was just about ok, the bulid in handles are ok but a bit sharp on the handle bottom edge, but good design as you can secure them both to a fixing point in your car Or whatever, using a cable lock of some sort through both speaker handles and also through the mixer handles thus securing the whole system, which I have done when left in my car for a short period of time. They are also sturdy enough to sit on as well should you need to, but dont stack very well for storage. Overall I gave five stars as I think these are Brillant, very powerfull, great sound I could not fault it, portable, easy and quick to set up for me with no technical knowledge of this sort of thing, and easy to secure. However i cant comment on reliability as this is the first time they have been used. Come to my Zumba class if you want a free class and a free demo of them.GT

Perfect product for a solo performer. I play solo sets in bars and this product was perfect size and does everything you need it to do. The way the mixer fits in the back of one speaker and the speaker cables are stored in the back of the other is really and the mic and mic lead are welcome bonuses. Sound quality was good, no feedback at all. I bought some 29.99 stands however not essential in some scenarios. I only had this at half volume and this was more than enough. I read one review mentioning it came with a euopean plus and I almost bought a uk kettle lead. No need I can 100% confirm this comes with a UK lead and all UK instructions and stickers... etc... Great product, great price, very portable!

I bought this as a used item. This is the second used product I have bought from Amazon, and they have both been excelant. This little PA is just what you would expect from Behringer, well made, good sound,value for money. It does not profess to be all singing all dancing, so dont expect it. But if you want a system that delivers great sound (and loud) in a medium sized room or small busy noisy pub, then this is for you. I have ran my acoustic guitar, mic, effects pedal and stomp box through this sysem with no problem at all. The reverb could be better, but a pedal solves that problem. I only say that because i am anal about my vocals. It's great for the money, nuff said.

I used it 2 or 3 times with a trio band and it was ok after that one of the channels in the mixer started having problems working then eventually stopped working at all, which only allowed me to use one speaker. If you use it a solo singer/guitarist then its all good, but more than that and the system struggles. The sound is decent for the fee but its just the quality in general is not worth it at all if you play music as a job.

I bought this a while back and have used it to do events many, many times.Like all kit, you need to work out what you're doing and how it all fits together. I've read a few reviews where people have tried it 'for an hour' and expected to be an expert after this time.Usually that doesn't really work out. You need to read the manual, put stuff onto it that you are going to gig with and make sure you understand what your actions on the mixer do.I myself used this as a PA and used the Mixer as the central board. For people singing I used an addiitonal Behringer mixer and through the use of both, you have complete control over your whole set up.Once you know what you're doing and you don't go nuts then you can get amazing, rich and well controllable sounds.It is pretty intuitive and I wasn't anywhere near an expert when I got it - although I've had experience of PAs and have been in a few bands - and the time, effort and reading I did really paid off.I don't think you should really be able to say "I used this for an hour and it was rubbish" - that to me says that you haven't put the time and effort in that you need so that you are proficiant. How many other things could you do 'for an hour' and be an expert in?If you buy it. Sit down. READ THE MANUAL. UNDERSTAND WHAT IT SAYS. Watch some Youtube intros and play with it yourself, try a few scenerios and get confident that you understand it and I think you'll have bought yourself a bargain that you can use professionally or privately with joy for years to come.

I bought this for my singing group. It is so compact - easy to use. I am not technical but this is just so easy to set up just afew minutes plus it in and off you go. The mixer box fits in the back of one of the speakers and the cables in the other justso neat. I purchased a trolley as being a lady it was difficult to carry both - I added a Teac cd deck and have the most amazingsystem suitable for any size room. Great Behlinger.

We bought this for our Christmas party so I didn't have to shout my presentation to the room. Was clear and easily loud enough for a room that held over 100 people. Also played background music through it, and have since used it for PA for a catwalk show. Not the main purpose most would buy it for but have used it with various microphones and other audio input sources. It's well built. Brilliant value for money. What's not to like?
