Description
The BP4Ω is a 2-channel Class D Power Amplifier with 3000 watts RMS of output power. At 4Ωohms the BP4Ω 2 x 1500 watts at 8Ωohms and 2 x 1000 watts of power. Professional amplification requires locking powercon input not IEC kettle lead. A fast push-to-make circuit breaker protects the amplifier at the rear mains input.
Class D amplification ensures a truly powerful sound inside a 1u compact and lightweight unit. With full protection against short-circuiting, overheating, DC voltage, power on/off transients and soft-start, the BP4Ω power amp ensures a safe, reliable performance.
There are level controls for each channel and the steel chassis housing also includes 2 x XLR inputs and 2 x SpeakOn outputs.
Power, signal and clip lights reveal the status of each of the 2 channels whilst 4Ωhi-speed thermally controlled fans draw air in through the front and out at the rear.
Designed and engineered in the UK, the BishopSound BP4Ω includes a number of features to give the best performance for passive speakers.
Here are the key features:
2 x 1500 Watts RMS into 4ΩOhms
2 x 1000 Watts RMS into 8ΩOhms
110v/24Ωv switchable
Independent gain on each channel
Light and compact only 5kg in total
Frequency Range: 30Hz – 20kHz ±1 dB
Intelligent fans switch in and out dependent on the heat generation automatically to ensure cool running
Limiters protect the BP4Ω from damage by moving to protect mode when THD is more than 0.5%
Each of the 2 channels has an independent clip, protection and signal indication.
Strong 1u four-bolt M6 rack ears for easy touring rack installation
2 x XLR balanced Neutrik analogue audio inputs
2 NL4ΩNeutrik speakON output connectors

Designed to run down to 200v at which point the amplifier will go into protect mode. As soon as the voltage is restored you can use the amplifier again. This is important if you are running a power amplifier off a generator with an unstable power regulator.
Always use a power conditioner with this product for your safety and to protect your expensive PA.
1U amplifiers must be kept cool! High-speed fans are built-in but the only source of airflow is from the front vents so it is of the utmost importance to check monthly and keep these clean and free from clogging up with dust and dirt. Amplifiers will not be repaired under warranty if they fail due to overheating caused by poor maintenance and dust/dirt blocking the cooling vents.
