Behringer NX6000D Amplifier

Behringer NX6000D — 6000W Class-D Power Amplifier for Touring Rigs

The Behringer NX6000D is a 2-channel Class-D power amplifier rated at 6000 W total output, built for sound professionals who need serious headroom without rack weight. This 2U unit delivers 2 x 3000 W into 4 ohms and 2 x 1600 W into 8 ohms, enough for full-range PA stacks and subwoofer arrays. SmartSense impedance compensation keeps frequency response ruler-flat at any speaker load.

What Sets the NX6000D Apart in the Lightweight Amp Category

Two technologies distinguish this amplifier from typical Class-D designs. SmartSense loudspeaker impedance compensation actively corrects frequency response against the actual cabinet load, restoring dynamic bass and high-frequency smoothness lost when driving non-resistive loads. Zero-Attack limiters deliver maximum output with reliable overload protection.

Power Output and Amplifier Topology — Headroom Without Heat

For engineers chasing clean headroom on long shows, the power-to-weight ratio is the headline feature. High-density Class-D technology combined with an ultra-efficient switch-mode power supply means the chassis weighs only 6 kg while still pushing 3000 W per channel into 4 ohms.

• Total Power Output: 6000 W — headroom for full-range tops plus dual subwoofers
• Per-Channel Power: 2 x 3000 W @ 4 Ω / 2 x 1600 W @ 8 Ω — flexible deployment across mains and subs
• Amplifier Class: Class-D — near-zero thermal buildup eliminates massive heat sinks

DSP and Signal Processing — Full System Control Onboard

Built-in DSP turns the NX6000D into a system processor as well as an amplifier, removing the need for outboard crossovers in many setups. The 24-bit/96 kHz converters deliver wide dynamic range, and the front-panel LCD plus NX EDIT software give engineers direct access to crossover, EQ, dynamics, and delay.

• Converters: 24-bit / 96 kHz — wide dynamic range and clean transient response
• Crossover: 3 filter types, up to 48 dB/octave — sub/satellite splits with steep slopes
• EQ: 8 parametric + 2 dynamic bands — room tuning and source shaping from the front panel

Connectivity and Physical Build — Rack-Ready and Tour-Tough

Connectors and chassis design suit engineers who patch in different sources every show. The rear panel accepts balanced or unbalanced line-level signals via combo jacks, while professional twist-lock speaker outputs keep cabling secure under vibration and road-case handling.

• Inputs: 2 x combo XLR-1/4" TRS — works with virtually any balanced or unbalanced source
• Outputs: 2 x speakON NL4 — twist-lock connectors prevent accidental disconnects mid-show
• Rackmount Size: 2U, 483 x 316 x 94 mm — fits standard 19" touring racks

Who the Behringer NX6000D Is Built For

The NX6000D is the right choice for live sound engineers, mobile DJs, and system installers who need 6000 W of clean Class-D power in a single 6 kg chassis. Touring bands running subwoofer-heavy rigs will appreciate the built-in subwoofer/satellite crossover and 300 ms of adjustable delay for time-aligning stacked cabinets. Installation contractors benefit from lockable DSP security settings that prevent venue staff from changing tuned presets.

Behringer's Class-D Engineering and SmartSense Heritage

Behringer built the NX series around high-density Class-D amplifier technology and a switch-mode power supply, replacing the heavy toroid transformers and heat sinks of older designs with a lighter, cooler-running topology. SmartSense loudspeaker impedance compensation addresses one of Class-D's traditional weaknesses — load-dependent frequency response.
