EUROPOWER PMX1000/PMX3000/PMX5000

FOREWORD

Dear Customer,

Welcome to the team of

EUROPOWER  users

and thank you very much

for expressing your confi-

dence  in  BEHRINGER

products  by  purchasing

this  power  mixer.

It  is  one  of  my  most

pleasant  tasks  to  write

this letter to you, because

it  is  the  culmination  of

many  months  of  hard

work  delivered  by  our

engineering team to reach

a  very  ambitious  goal:

to  present  you  three

outstanding 

power

mixers  that  give  you

maximum  flexibility  and

performance with a unique sound character and broad range of

striking functions. The task to design the new PMX series certainly

meant  a  great  deal  of  responsibility,  which  we  assumed  by

focusing on you, the discerning user and musician. It also meant

a lot of work and night shifts to accomplish this goal. 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

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

achieved.

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

are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team. With

your  highly  competent  suggestions  for  new  products  you’ve

greatly  contributed  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

favorable  price.  All  of  this  will  enable  you  to  fully  unfold  your

creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.

We are often asked how we can make it to produce such high-

grade  devices  at  such  unbelievably  low  prices.  The  answer  is

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

means large sales volumes enabling us to get better conditions

of  purchase  for  components,  etc.  Isn’t  it  only  fair  to  pass  this

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

success, too!

I would like to thank all people whose help on “Project PMX”

has  made  it  all  possible.  Everybody  has  made  very  personal

contributions, starting from the designers of the unit to the many

staff  members  in  our  company  and  finally  to  you,  the  user  of

BEHRINGER products.

My friends, it’s been worth the trouble!

Thank you very much,

Uli Behringer
