Behringer nu6000 amp review

[@vrgs1385]

SWEET I just ordered one with DSP and 4 18's for my home theater! I cant wait to get it all done! Thanks for the review!!

[@deejaybustab]

Great review. I totally agree with you on how to run your gear. If you process your sound through your rack (BBE, EQ, Crossover etc) this amp kicks even harder!! I have the NU3000 and have used it for almost 1yr now without any problems. It pushes my 18"s hard as hell! Some others hate on Behringer amps but the iNuke series seems to perform very well. Plus when you think about it we are not going to push 3,000w or 6,000w on a wedding gig but it's good to have plenty of headroom when needed.

[@wildnites558]

I'm very satisfied with the iNuke. Had for over a year now. In that time, our band has done roughly 60-70 gigs from very small to very large venues. Very powerful and reliable amp. We use it to power our Yamaha monitors (12's & 15's). Haven't experienced any problems yet. The audio quality is great. Put it in the rack the day we received it and it has functioned perfectly with no problems or down time so far. The inuke replaced an old Peavey CS-400, another 'ol' reliable' amp that lasted well over 20 years. The inuke is so much lighter in weight than the old CS which makes getting it to and from gigs a breeze. I will very likely buy another and absolutely yes, I would recommend this amp to other working professional musicians like myself.

[@paulthesoundguy1]

Hi, I own 10 nu-6000 amps for my system. I have had zero problems with my system with these provisions... To run a max volume system you must use compression and then a limiter to control the max input to the amps. If you over drive the input to the amps you will make them shut down. It's also important to use proper eq and compresson on your sub amps. You can run louder and cleaner. Digital amps are designed to be operated differently than amps with toridal transformers...analog amps. Knowing the differences will make your mix better. Peace Paul the sound guy

[@joecrowsantibanez1733]

Thanx for the video. I just ordered the iNUKE 1000. For my rig. This video will help. Thanks again.

[@antoniomendoza4360]

These people with bad comments are a joke ... They say the amps are no good and they have never owned one or tested them? How do you conclude that???? It's hating, they cant Stand knowing they spent way more for the same or less power

[@jeffethpillay1659]

I bought an inuke 6000dsp about 3years ago. It let me down at 2 major gigs in december 2013 and 2014. I hardly used them and they were used to drive a pair of EVzx5 . This amplifier is Rubbish, Overated and indeed a piece of JUNK. 2 friends of mine had exactly the same problem @ GIGS.

[@antoniomendoza4360]

***** the supplier??

[@antoniomendoza4360]

***** Oh wow....no cows here

[@jeffethpillay1659]

Amp gave me problems for the 3rd time 2months ago. Repaired it and sold it for quarter of the price. Using a crown xti 4000 with dsp now. Works like a dream.

[@jeffethpillay1659]

100%

[@maguiver1972]

The amps are holding up solid,and move mountains of speakers...racks are packed with power and lighter than ever

[@MysteriousSystems]

Sweet.. definitely getting one of these for my 2 15s in my home theater! Also getting a 1000 Series running bridged for my 12!

[@artikco559]

Thanks for the video Man and also let me tell you that I own 3 - Inuke 6000DSP bought since the day they become available on the market. My experience with them has been nothing but exellent. I use them to run 6 SRX728 JBL cabinets for which I used 6 QSC PLX3402 amps. Of course QSC (because of the brand name) tought would be better and to my surprise the Nukes beat them hands down. QSC tend to overheat easily, I run live bands up to 6 or 8 hrs continuosly on weekends basis. The Nuke 6000 would always blow cool air and noticed a fatter bassy sound comming out of my SRX728's So happy with them to the point that Im buying the NEW Nuke 12000 to make my gear even lighter.... Best Regards. If you don't believe me, you can always go and buy QSC, MACROTECH OR CROWN amplifiers..

[@maykellpinder6660]

Behringer Inuke 6000 are very good amplifiers!

[@POPQC]

artikco559 so its pushing 2 dual 18" per amps and they push your jbl to their limits? how you describe the bass?

[@POPQC]

artikco559 so its pushing 2 dual 18" per amps and they push your jbl to their limits? how you describe the bass?

[@bablubora224]

Are this amplifier is best of qsc or crown

[@maguiver1972]

im glad i took a look at ur channel it really helped with my purchase

[@vocalone23]

I ran 2 x Dual18 4ohm cabinets with one on each channel@4 and it is a beast.....

[@vocalone23]

Ran 4 of these for 10 hours straight show with no problems and no surge issues

[@jongpark1912]

Can you connect Inuke 6000 to Receiver for volume control?

[@aftech7268]

I did the same thing i ran 2 hours at full power on 4 peavey sp5gs and it never overheated …. Never clipped , loud as f , My crown usually overheats in 2 hours …playing at this level and granted how light these guys are they are reliable im buying 3 more to replace the heavy crowns

[@maguiver1972]

yeah it seems like alot but one things for sure , you can turn the power up when you need it and go down but a smaller system you cant turn up

[@kingdave8863]

Hey Antonio I have 4 PA's 2 12"s, and 2 15", also 2 Floor monitors.15"s. and 2, 18 subs. "All" are powered, some have built in crossovers some don't. So I have a BEHRINGER SUPER-X PRO CX3400 crossover I used to use, with a PMP2000D digital mixer, especially with the subs. Now I have a BEHRINGER S32 Digital Snake with its own pre amps in each channel and a "X-32 mixer" (not the compact, producer or rack mount models) "the big daddy flagship". Do you recommend this Nuke amp. and if so, where in the chain would I hook it? After mixer. Or after the digital snake and plugged in its two main channels?

[@patthesoundguy]

a little pro tip... run the amp wide open with the controls all the way up and control levels from the mixer. Your system will always sound its best if you run the amp on full and do level control from the mixer. it will hit harder even at lower volumes.

[@lovestospooge646]

Definitely buying this for my bass rig!

[@komradenikolai]

Yah. GC gets stuff ready fast. I ordered a double bass pedal from them, and the next day aftet is shipped, it was at my house

[@antoniomendoza4360]

Well I don't have everything they make but I guess I do have to agree with you a bit... But I gig at least 2 times a month all year and they are 4hour minimum gigs and I have had no problems with any of the 4 nuke amps I have. My mackie ,crown xti and peavey amps all gave me trouble in the first year

[@djmitch-e1433]

Wow! This sure is a forum for argument . I am a grand pa in this business ( Sound Engineering and Electronics.) . Behringer did a great job with these amps. Power to weight to price ratio is unbeatable.. I set a minimum standard for these amps of acquiring half the advertised wattage. So with a Nu 6000, I expect 1500 watts at 4 ohm which is still better than the old legendary QSC MX3000a which was sold for $1600 and weighed 67 pounds. Yes physical rigidity, durability and reliability have been deeply compromised. ( All deducted in the price. )

[@XShadowHazeX]

I'm considering purchasing an inuke 3000. I just want to use it for a sub. To bridge it do you just use input B and output B?

[@antoniomendoza4360]

yes you sure can run them, I did that and it won't be a problem at all

[@cacornett58]

Class D does not mean digital. It means that it is a switching amplifier, meaning that both output transistors switch completely off will not conducting, which increases efficiency and reduces heat. While some Class D amplifiers use digital controls and processing, the power amp section is completely analog. I have one of the iNuke 3000's and I love it!!

[@merctr2]

Don’t listen to them that amplifiers fine I’m running the 6000 with 4 Cerwin Vega earthquakes each speaker is rated at eight ohms I daisy chain to them together that drops them to 4 ohms and I run in mono mode you want base you will definitely feel that they are good amplifier and believe me I run the best of all amps I just tried this Inuke6000 Because of all the hype and how good it was and I have ran crown and QSC for years I am very very impressed with this amplifier and I do live sound and Dj you made a good choice

[@daratbastid]

You said you put the 2 tops on 1 channel and the 2 subs on the other channel? what did you set the internal crossover to? If you set it to "Full" wouldn't that be sending highs to the subs?

[@shondo2010]

Thanks for the info. I recently had a bunch of my stuff stolen and am having to rebuild. Funny thing is I found some 42" double 15" woofer speakers to replace my JBLs. Didn't check the wattage properly so I wound up with 2000W max at 8 ohms. Been looking everywhere for an amp that would run them. I have a quick question though. Is the 8 ohm max 1100 Watts or 1500 Watts? The specs on "Sweetwater" says 1500 x 2 at 8 ohms. Thanks.

[@maguiver1972]

on this model there isnt but you can find the usb on the dsp model and it comes with all the software you need, as far as rca hook ups go ,thats just an adaptor

[@dwayneleigh9]

Great review Antonio, looking to replace my TP 3,000 watt amp for my (robostand) custom made I designed and built. kind of looks like a transformer, this amp would be perfect for my compact set up (you can see my stand near the end of my music (video mixes) DJ ROBOTRON thanks for the info. Did have one question: is this a all Digital amp? or hybrid? Thanks.

[@LosProduction2006]

i have 2 18inch 8ohm subwoofers that are 1000 watts each an a pair of 2 box speakers that hold 2 15inch speakers an horns in each cab that run 700 watts each all speakers are Seismic Audio .....so i was thinking of buying this amp to run the right side of the amp to the subwoofers daisy chained to the subs an then the left side i would daisy the 2 15inch speakers with horns ..do you think this will bump them ...plz help thanks

[@Chrissyboy311]

Cheers for the advice :)

[@rich28188]

How would you run a powered sub with 2 highs on this always ran just highs , think may have it down but before hooking up would like some input thanks

[@7em11em]

Ok that's exactly what I really wanted to know about the iNuke 6000 before I buy it,you said it was pushing a pair of vega with no problem then would you think I would honestly have a problem powering 2 15" Eminence Omega pro rated@800/1200peak@8ohms because I need a good amp without buying more expensive amps all over again

[@sirjammer]

i think Williston Audio Labs put one of these on his amp dyno..

[@rustyzipperband]

Hi, I have seen a few videos on some of these units or the NU4-6000 having issues. How has this been? have you had any problems with it so far? thanks

[@almightyone4]

inuke 6000 4 way tweeter and horns inuke 6000 hi mids inuke 6000 low mids 2- 12000 inukes lows 12 bass bottoms 6 tops will these amps be able to hold that type of load need an responds to be sure im doing this right

[@mathewsellar9443]

Just ordered this amp for my live band. Running it through 2x peavy subs and 2 x peavy tops all 500w rms 1000w continuous 2000w peak. 4ohm you think I could put the volume up to max?

[@maguiver1972]

Wow...no let me correct you...the gains are set on your mixer...the amp does have volume knobs!....and its wattage not voltage my friend if it was voltage you would blow out every speaker you connect....the mixer is what you use to set your headroom. Please make sense of the things you comment on

[@morenaso1]

Which yamaha speakers did you use?

[@Chrissyboy311]

Hi... I'm thinking of getting one of these, I only need it to power my peavey 215's.. What do u think!? Nu6000 or Nu3000 - I was thinking the 6000.....???

[@curtisfoster9802]

when the amp clips it is out of power.period and means you need a little more amp to get the desired loudness that your asking it to do.

[@maguiver1972]

Its not auto but it does have a switch for selective voltage so it wont be a problem

[@CayroproductionsAdan]

Hey bro quick question,,, august 2015 If i connect my folded horns cv and i connect them on the ch B and i chain connect them, will i get the 6,000 wats,,cus i cant bridge themm,,,,what do u think?

[@hosnairocolmenarez9488]

recibiras 1500watt por cada bocina de 8ohms que conectes hasta un maximo de dos bocinas por cada canal. osea 4 x 1500= 6000

[@maguiver1972]

Edher Arriaga you can connect two per side and believe me its enough to pop them

[@loudawgs]

Hello buddy, How is the amp holding up 5 years later? I'm looking to purchase this amp. Thank you

[@antoniomendoza4360]

yeah it was dope! im waiting on an amp i got the nu4 6000. it has four seperate knobs for volume and will help with setup...and i dor sure guba get the new 12,000 watt behringer i-nuke amp!! its guna blow shit out the wter for sure

[@maguiver1972]

its a bit of both yeah but the usb model that is dsp is a full digital amp

[@shawn72269]

How is that amp holding up now? What amp would you say is about the same power as your 6000? Thanks.

[@maguiver1972]

It's been years brother! I still have all six now. I've had lots of fun blowing up subs!

[@BayronYSusTeclados]

hola que tal amigo, una pregunta, que tal jalan estos amplificadores?? esque la verdad los ando checando en mercado libre y estan algo baratones y ademas que casi ni pesan. ya vi algunas fotos del amplificador y ademas fotos de como estan por dentro y casi no traen nada!! jaja qu onda con esto si suenan bien? ojala puedas responderme.

[@CODYBMX2011]

hi im cody and I jest wated to know if this amp is good I am a big berhinger person but I heard a lot of mixed felling about this amp so what your felling on it

[@sootagatusitala2342]

Hey hello there...hi my name is Neil...yeah antonio i have two amps like that in my system but what i want to know is that...the other one is work on heights but sometimes it's goes clipping and the sound went off then back again so yeah any suggestions for me plss Antonio

[@maguiver1972]

Well.... It's a very easy thing to explain. I don't know what kind of subs or mains you use, but! The problem is the amplifier isn't clipping....it's actually your speakers,the amp senses the ceiling or max spl of your speakers and when it shuts down usually the light goes red on the knobs and it's protection mode

[@maguiver1972]

You need to adjust the amp output and that's it, I bet if you hook up a more higher rated speakers you will be able to hit higher volumes

[@AaronBilger]

How about now after a few years? any issues?

[@seansy59]

Metal or plastic casing? metal or plastic front? Thanks!

[@maguiver1972]

Metal case , plastic face

[@khamptonmiller]

djmcdreamy here im looking at your review about this where is the audio interface at on this amp i dont see a usb interface or rca inputs neither to go to your laptop so could you tell me how you get your sound from amp to laptop

[@jedstephens5959]

HI, would a single unit be powerful enough to run 4 600 watt speakers at 4 ohm each?

[@surajs2641]

run a pair of Subs in parallel per channel. this will equal to a load of around 1200W @ 2Ohms. The answer is Yes

[@maguiver1972]

go with the 6000 because this way u can use more power per side at 4 ohms, with the crossover you can ever ad 2 subs!

[@DanMarcelino]

good review btw! =]

[@parishayes1489]

do i have to buy a neutriks for the speakers

[@doomzdayintlsound]

I have 3 of them, trying to get 4 more

[@krazydogg7685]

I got a sundown zv4 18 in it duel 2 ohm voice coil so I can wire to 4 ohms do I want to run this amp at bridged 4ohms? My sub can take 3500rms

[@vocalone23]

Jay Thomas yes @4ohms the sub will see 3000 watts A ch. and the other if ran @4 ohms will see the other 3000 watts ch. b

[@Assimilator702]

After playing around with this amp for a few days on an Ultimax 15.....you're better off running these amps under clipping level for more reliable operation. If you need more power....buy a second amp.

[@loveparadave]

Hello. Is this amp autovoltage 110-220 volts? Tks.

[@bamazlifestyle9440]

You really know your shit brah

[@DanMarcelino]

next time test your speakers in "free air" outta da boxes!! hahah but sick story tho bro, you know youre slammin when the cops show up!! hahah

[@maguiver1972]

yes they are xlr and take 1/4 plugs

[@vocalone23]

Your right @ 4 ohms its putting out almost 2500 @4 ohms

[@maguiver1972]

yeah broe im positive you wont have a problem, wach my video on how i tested my jbl mrx500 dual 18 sub and you will see, those cabs are rated at 3800 watts and i was slaming at half volume on one channel!! and i bought two inuke 3000 amps for mains and monitors so im that sure because i did my research and bought more after i heard the 6000

[@maguiver1972]

i have never used tech pro stuff because i have friends starting up bands and dj but seem to have problems with them . its ok at reasonable volumes but once u turn up the heat they get out the kitchen lol

[@Brite215]

How are the inputs xlr?

[@Msingh1915]

can you bridge this amp?

[@maguiver1972]

well its just short for digital..... its light because they use regulators and chips and prosessors to make them work. thats all i know boss thanks for asking

[@bataca88]

how can i link my inukes 6000???

[@jeggeggo]

Can i run 4 subs behringer vp1800s, with 2 of each channel whitout external crossover?

[@USISCOLLAPSING]

+eggo jegg If the subs are 8ohm a piece, then yes. The amp also has a low pass filter you can activate. Get the dsp model, there is more you can play with.. and boost certain frequencies as if you have an EQ.

[@doomzdayintlsound]

I use 8 VP1800s per amp

[@djwoodis]

this amp is a class d amp what dos that mean

[@godspeed9969]

thinking of getting 2 of these amps

[@georgealeong8188]

this is a good example of a novice review,please do some research on amplifiers about gain,switching & non switching,true RMS rating etc.

[@maguiver1972]

la verdad te voy a decir algo....hasta lo mas bueno pueda batallar y responder mal, muchos que cometan eso y otras cosas de estos amplificadores estan muy mal porque me extrana que lo digan y sin tener uno??? como esta eso??? tengo 3!! y ninguno me a fallado en ninguna manera.......muchos no saben regular su sonido y abusan en los niveles y manera de usarlos..por mi cuenta an respondido vien y son buenos tambien considerando el precio...son livianos pero deve de cer asi

[@maguiver1972]

i woud go with the 6000 and you get 3000 peak at each end, better to have more than not enough

[@dietershobbypakanal]

I have the same , must see my channel.. 😁👍 150db at home... The negativ is the supply isnt strong enouth.. 2x4 ohms load at the limit it can be go in protect.. or other guys say to me it goes a second with no power and then comes the power back.. positve the price.. DSP from Behringer is good the extern version i mean 2496 is the name of it.. you can time youre speakers to one point.. this will be loud ! You see in my videos..

[@marcfavell]

Volume on a amp, you mean gain....volume is on the preamp/mixer. When you say the amp is light in weight and plastic front panel...not at all good attributes for power amplifiers claiming them numbers. The only way them amps will reach thousands of watts would be if it got struck by lightning, real high current watts takes weight and quality parts, better off buying some used older equipment for your money brother. Just because speakers are hard to drive does not mean there shit either, lots to learn about stereo equipment grasshopper, watts are just part of the story very small part at that! PS. Keep your Peavey amp handy I'd bet your going to need it!!

[@maguiver1972]

it just means its digital and low power consumption

[@dez5]

The fan noise is driving me crazy.

[@TempoDrift1480]

Desmond Walker There's a video where a dude swaps the fan with an aftermarket and it's silent now.

[@maguiver1972]

or go with the nu4 6000 from behringer

[@gogobozoblack9301]

These amps will give you a pant antler,,,,.xo

[@matdub5410]

+gogobozo black right in the ANTLER!

[@TempoDrift1480]

Is that like a tone boner?

[@SEELEYJP]

those are not volumes...they are gains.......you never turn them all the way up....they are to set the voltage from the mixer........this review tells nobody ...anything

[@maguiver1972]

la verdad no hay un amplificador que de lo que dicen porque por lo regular el poder que ponen como el modelo es lo que miden en peak pero no es lo que sostienen. se me acaba de quemar un crown xti2000 es de 2000watts pero las especificationes dicen que nomas me dava 450 por canal y puentiado 1600 jajajaja para lo que pague no valio la pena, mejor por el mismo dinero compre 2 mas inuke 3000 amplificadores..alrato ago un video de ellos

[@Marian1983.2D]

Behringer digital amps are a joke...generaly speaking.....and this amp is realy a joke....the only reliable amps from Behringer are Behringer: EUROPOWER EP4000 and Behringer: EUROPOWER EP2500 with toroidal tranformers....

[@daillmeskin]

This amp is NOT a joke. I own 2 of them and they are beasts.

[@USISCOLLAPSING]

are you a crown/qsc American amp owner? Because I am, and that would be the only reason to say something like that unless you have blown more than one of these by pushing it too hard and not knowing WTF you're doing.

[@vocalone23]

+spaceorbison which one did you go with? and with that choice how's it holding up

[@USISCOLLAPSING]

I have 2 iNuke 6000's, and one is the dsp model. I have them hooked up to a furman power conditioner, and that plugs into a monster power conditioner. I have had them for about a year now with no issues, I rarely turn the pots all the way up, I prefer to create a good signal from my mixer and turn the pots up once the mixer is set. I also never boost any frequencies but rather reduce others that are too strong on my eq. And make sure you're running a compatible ohms load on the Behringer.. hooking too many speakers up and creating too low of a ohms load will damage any amp. It's really all about how you run your setup and all the things you do to protect it. I've had my QSC 2450's for about 16+years now running those same configs. Check the fuse on the amp... worst case, contact the place you purchased from and get another or a complete refund.

[@vocalone23]

Tried this Nu6000 on a set of 4ohm 2x18 cabs and this thing is impressive to say the least. I was using Mackie and I've also used the Crown MacroTech and this light amp really surprised me. Don't know how it keeps up but yet not even hot after a 10hour Gig. Chest pounding Bass. I want to try another Behringer like the Ep4000 to see how it is on a set of 1200rms 4ohm dual 2x15 Tops.

[@maguiver1972]

se aiga quemado de todos modos por falta de fuersa

[@johnegalam9567]

i can see how the owner of this amp is saying that its good, god that clip light is telling you its shit, at half way ahha god. xti crowns fuck me that is china shit from crown. dude put it this way a crown macrotech 1200 has fucking has more balls than this. and that has 450w @4ohms lol

[@EndstyleGG]

wtf are you talking about? Of course the limit light is coming on at halfway, if you have enough power going into the amp. If you had some sort of mixer or something that doesnt put out enough power you would need to turn it all the way to clip the amp the same way as if u had a powerful input.

[@BlakeBiellier]

Check out www.BASSBOSS.com !!! 6000W continuously for 1 full second at 20Hz! I am not going to lie... I just ordered a NU12000DSP. I am curious to see what it does up against a BASSBOSS amp. :-) Either way.... The amp is still a good bang for the buck.

[@davidehrmantraut9747]

All smps can have high ratings from 22ms to 1 second. Tests have shown these amps crap out with longer durations, just like all the other SMPS powered amplifiers do. Nothing beats toroidal power.... Better off buying up the Cerwin vega cv 5000 amps

[@DJSHADDY2K7]

I help my boy bye one from the state and it kick on four 18' sub speaker.

[@mrchazmar10]

I can comment on this amp because i sell them.THEY SUCK! The other Behringer amps ie europower 4000 ect are ok but only because they are direct copy of a QSC rmx series amp..The Europower amps are FALSLY RATED! they put out about 35% of their rating .The NU series ? lets see how you feel 90 days from now.Reguarding this amp vs your Crown XTI2000,well the crown is only rated at 475-500 watts @ 8 ohms. try a Crown XTI4002 Oh thats right you want to spend peanuts on an amp.

[@USISCOLLAPSING]

people who do not know how to connect these amps properly (to power conditioners) and try to connect too heavy of a load (below 4 ohm) deserve to have all their shit fried. the iNuke 6000 is very powerful, as long as you know how to power one properly and dont have 5 amps plugged into one power conditioner all going into one outlet like a douche. Some people are just mad they are stupid and can't connect a million devices into one outlet. Get over it. Learn how to properly balance your load and you'll be very happy with this amp. I can comment on this amp because I am an audio engineer and not a shitty salesman. A good salesman will point out the benefits of every product as well as let you know what you need to do to protect your investment in the long term, not shit on it and lose out on a sale... dick head. I worked for radioshack, that doesn't mean I knew everything about every device. If you try and run this amp at 2 ohm, you'll fry something no doubt, and wonder why it didn't last as long as a crown. We Americans are stupid(the entire world knows it), so American companies build in certain protections that enable and promote our stupidity.

[@tmhurst5691]

You have absolutely no idea what your talking about...

[@tmhurst5691]

The resistance or "ohmage" as you call it has nothing to do with amp clipping. And please make me understand why the hell a DJ needs monitors. You gained volume when you added your other components because you were driving the input signal a lot harder. The knobs on the front of the amp aren't volume knobs, they're input sensitivity controls.

[@maguiver1972]

I use monitors, we do live sound. I don't dj .

[@POPQC]

TM HURST we do use monitors because we SYNC music together in time and sound is a slow traveler that produce delay.. so we use monitors to synchronise the next song in our headset to the main mix or the song playing. a minimal delay just makes the mix impossible

[@loverboy419]

I just bought 2 of these 1 for my sups nd 1 for my tops but I just notice these amps dnt have a link on it so can somebody help with the connection since I can't link them together ? Is built in crossover but I think am still gna need a crossover to use these amps ? Pls help

[@bataca88]

how can i link my inukes 6000???

[@vocalone23]

bataca88 in through one and out through to the next amp
