FOREWORD

Dear customer,

welcome  to  the  team

of  EUROLIVE  users,

and  thank  you  very

much  for  expressing

your confidence in us by

purchasing  these  PA

loudspeakers.

Writing  this  foreword

for  you  gives  me  great

pleasure,  because  it

represents  the  cul-

mination of many months

of  hard  work  delivered

by our engineering team

to  achieve  a  very

ambitious  goal:  to

develop  an  outstanding

PA system that offers a

maximum in flexibility and

performance  through  its  impressive  sound  character  and

outstanding  features.  The  task  of  designing  our  new

EUROLIVE PERFORMER SERIES certainly meant a great deal of

responsibility,  which  we  assumed  by  focusing  on  you,  the

discerning  user  and  musician.  Meeting  your  expectations  also

meant a lot of work and night shifts. But it was fun, too. Developing

a  product  usually  brings  a  lot  of  people  together,  and  what  a

great feeling it is when all who 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

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. Isn’t it only fair to pass this benefit on

to  you?  Because  we  know  that  your  success  is  our  success

too!

I would like to thank all of you who have made the EUROLIVE

PERFORMER SERIES 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
