FOREWORD

Dear Customer,
Welcome to the team of

PRO  MIXER  users  and

thank you very much for

expressing your confidence

in BEHRINGER products

by  purchasing  the

DX400.  Writing  this

foreword  for  you  gives

me  great  pleasure,

because  it  represents

the culmination of many

months  of  hard  work

delivered 

by 

our

engineering  team  to

achieve a very ambitious

goal:  to  design  an  ex-

cellent DJ mixer offering

remarkable  functions

with  the  maximum  in

flexibility  and  perfor-

mance.  The  task  of  designing  our  new  PRO  MIXER  certainly

meant  a  great  deal  of  responsibility  which  we  assumed  by

focusing  on  you,  the  discerning  user  and  DJ.  Meeting  your

expectations also meant a lot of work and effort. But it was fun,

too. Developing a product usually brings a lot of people together,

and  what  a  great  feeling  it  is  when  everybody  who  has

participated  in  such  a  project  can  be  proud  of  what  they’ve

achieved.

It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because

you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team.

With your highly competent suggestions for new products you’ve

made a significant contribution to shaping our company and making

it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality

(manufactured  under  ISO9000  certified  management  system)

as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely

reasonable price. All of this will enable you to give free rein to

your creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.

We are often asked how we manage to produce such high-

quality devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is

quite simple: it’s you, our customers! Many satisfied customers

mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing

terms for components, etc. So it’s only fair to pass this benefit on

to  you,  isn’t  it?  Because  we  know  that  your  success  is  our

success  too!

I  would  like  to  thank  all  of  those  who  have  made  the

PRO  MIXER  possible.  You  have  all  made  your  own  personal

contributions, from the developers to the many other employees

at this company, and to you, the BEHRINGER user.

My friends, it’s been worth the effort!

Thank you very much,

Uli Behringer
