Bad Juju! Steer clear. Waste of $$$$. Lots of quality out there, stick to brand names you know.
LOL I didn't know Behringer had another even cheaper line of junk.
Best,
Paul
Jus because you have not heard of them does not make them junk have a look at their producs.

Thanks Friends!
Actually A local dealer is offering me this product and giving me good deal, he's an authorize dealer of this company and assuring me full after sale support and service,all AC products are having full 1 year warranty in India (SIX YEARS IN CHINA). The specs are good and I also had a demo which impressed me too. What say?

They don't appear to be a Chinese knock-off brand ( Technical Pro, Pyramid, Pyle, etc.) .. more like a higher end company primarily focusing on the Chinese market. It is funny that that have a section on their website on anti-counterfeiting.
All good. Behringer has a fancy site too. They are really good at copying other folks designs. All I can think is if I wasn't happy with this product.......where's the resale? How about a service network? Your Guy says he has one. Go back and ask him who else bought them........ask them how they are.
I have this thing about knock-off stuff. I stick to tried-and-true stuff with brand recognition. Good luck to you, I hope they work out. A risk I wouldn't want to take.
Perhaps Jurgen will fix it? Best of luck with that. :trisad:

Just because it isnt known in the Grand old US of A doesnt mean it isnt a leader and I dont think its any mind of knockoff. The prices are not relative to knockoff traits. If you look at the systems asides the amps they look to be well constructed and if the specs arent escalated like many of the well known companys that likely is why they sell big in other parts of the world. Just because a DJ hasnt heard of it doesnt mean squat. Plenty of big named stuff out there that most DJs have never heard nor seen. How many of you have heard Dynacord or even knew about the name until I mentioned them here and bought them as well? I can tell you anyone who has heard them knows they arent your avg DJ candy store speaker systems. Ask Trini Dave aka DRZINC he has heard the sweet sound and the boom not heard in most DJ systems.
Cable Harness/Wiring
That is a great example of a cable Harness/wiring. Very neat.

the OP asked "if anyone has heard of or used" them.
and that's how most are replying.
I would assume Destin posted here because he WANTED a few opinions from other people.
my point is that some folks here and often any other place USA DJ expert island if it aint The main companys which cater to cheap assed DJs then it cant possibly be so called pro gear which was my point. I think simply through my research of this company most PRO DJs couldnt afford this gear and would have no knowledge of it due to the price level.
I'll bet most people haven't heard of Bryston because they are a made in Canada amp and I'll also bet thier power amps will eat most of what anyone here is using me included
Destin read and understand your specs and ask around to people that have them. From the pic it looks lik a solid, well built amp.
Here are the specs

I'd not heard of the brand before either but that doesn't mean it's good or bad. Just means I hadn't heard of it before.
From the looks of it, this is a Class A/B Toroid amp, designed for use with live sound. The large bank of power supply capacitors is a sure sign of that.
I find the TO-3 case transistors to be unusual. This case style goes back to 1955 and (I believe) was superseded by the TO-220 case in the 1970s. It's been many years since I saw TO-3 power transistors in an audio application.

Thanks Fred. Does this make this or any amp inferior to what these days are used and is it not suitable for mobile djs?

Did behringer execs break into your house and crap in your shoes or something? You really have a hate hard-on for them.
Look at things this way for a moment. Decades ago DJ had many successful careers using what was then top line, state of the art equipment. They made money back then just as they make money today. This amp in question being talked about I am sure, is far advanced than any of those amps used back then. If that is the case, what makes one think that that this amp would not perform its job to satisfaction.
I will give another example using Behringer as a brand. There are some products that they make, particularly their mixers, that are on par with lots of the big brand names out there. The main noticeable difference is the lower price. I bought a Behringer VMX 1000 Mixer back in (I believe 2002) that is still in use to this day. I have known many people who have bought Denon and Pioneer mixers and a Rane, yes a Rane, after mine, that broke down and needed repair. Maybe I was lucky and the Rane, Denon, Pioneer owner was lucky, who knows!
Point of the matter is that certain products by certain manufacturers may do better from Model to model and brand to brand but how you treat your gear plays a big role in its longevity.

Not inferior at all. Actually, Toroid amps are preferred by professional soundmen for large venues where live sound is the attraction. The multiple-capacitor power supplies are essential for kick drum amplification because there is less power sag after the energy burst.
For mobile DJ use, they're not really essential. They can be used for mobile DJ applications ~ we've been running Toroid amps for years. But unlike live or raw sound, pre-recorded music is already compressed and limited. The kick is still there; the extent of burst energy is limited when mixed down for recording.
And from what I've read, the lightweight amp designs of today are a fine fit for driving bass bins. The main advantage is less weight in your amp racks.
