An old adage states that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, lest you fumble said basket and produce something of an impromptu sidewalk omelet. Wise, to a point, but I think it's OK to carry all your eggs in one basket as long as you do so cautiously and thoughtfully. This will also save you the time and energy that could have been spent on multiple trips to the chickenhouse; it's all about efficiency.

BEHRINGER's new EUROPORT EPA150 is a portable "briefcase" style PA system with 150-Watts stereo output and two detachable high-fidelity loudspeakers. The EPA150's outstanding power-to-weight ratio is achieved through Class-D amplifier design and the use of a switch-mode power supply, which eliminates the need for heavy transformers and heat sinks. The resulting system is much lighter than many competing models. The built-in 5-channel mixer sports two balanced XLR mic inputs, a mic/instrument channel and a stereo line channel with separate CD/TAPE RCA sockets. Phantom power is provided for use with studio-grade condenser microphones. Channel EQ duties are handled via active 3-band controls (bass, mid, treble), while the overall system is managed by a 7-band graphic EQ with BEHRINGER's own FBQ Feedback Detection System. With its onboard digital effects (100 studio-quality presets), a sturdy case that provides storage space for the included mic, cables and accessories, the EPA150 is the ideal all-in-one PA solution for speakers and performers on the go. * Ultra-compact 2 x 75-Watt, 5-channel portable PA system in a briefcase format * System sets up in seconds-perfect for entertainment, multi-media presentations, press conferences, board meetings, etc. * Enormous power, incredible sonic performance and super-light weight * Studio-grade 24-bit stereo FX processor with 100 awesome presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and various multi-effects * Revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection system instantly reveals critical frequencies for easy feedback removal * 2 "Invisible" mic preamps with phantom power for condenser microphones, 1 mic/inst channel and 1 stereo channel with separate CD input * Stereo 7-band graphic EQ allows precise frequency correction of main outputs * Comes with one BEHRINGER XM1800S microphone, mic clip and cable * Compact speakers contain powerful 4" woofers and a 1" tweeter, 17 mm stand i
