Clean power, zero floor noise when idle, and it doesn't heat up much. The bad: The cooling fan is loud . It sounds like a tiny jet engine. Fine for a live show, but impossible to use in a quiet studio.
However, build quality is a mixed bag. The plastic encoder knobs feel wobbly, and one of my Speakon outputs was slightly misaligned. Also, the software app is clunky. For permanent installs where you set it once and forget it, it's fantastic. For touring, spend more on a QSC or Crown. (e.g., UB1202 or X1204USB) Common mis-type for old "Eurorack" models. behringer n11999

Behringer’s numbering system typically uses letters followed by digits (e.g., for mixers, U for interfaces, N for "Nektar" series or X for digital mixers). The "N" prefix usually refers to the Nekkst series (studio monitors like the K8 or K10) or older Eurorack mixers (like MX, UB, or RX). Fine for a live show, but impossible to
Unreal power for the price, but mind the fan noise Rating: 4/5
Having the ability to set limiters, delays, and 4-band EQs directly on the amp is a game-changer at this price point. The NX3000D drives my 8-ohm tops easily without clipping.
I picked up the Behringer NX1000 to power a pair of passive PA speakers for small gigs. For under $250, this thing is a beast. It’s ridiculously lightweight (under 7 lbs) compared to the old iron amps it replaced. The SmartSense power supply handles voltage dips well, and the built-in crossover is useful for subs.
