Dear Customer,
I’m  sure  you’re  one  of

those  people  who  have

devoted themselves body

and soul to your chosen

area and no doubt this has

transformed you into an

expert in your field!
Well, for over 30 years,

my  passion  has  been

music  and  electronics.

This not only led me to

establish  BEHRINGER,

but  also  enabled  me  to

convey  and  share  my

enthusiasm  with  my

employees.
During all the years I’ve

been involved with studio

technology and end users,

I have developed a feel for the things that really count, such as

sound quality, reliability and ease of use. What’s more, I have always

had the desire to push the boundaries of technical possibilities to the

extreme.

It was precisely this motivation that prompted me to start work

on a new series of mixing consoles. Since our EURORACKs had

already set new standards world-wide, I knew the development

objectives  behind  the  products  bearing  my  initials  had  to  be

especially ambitious.

Thus, the concept and design of the new UB mixing consoles

bear my signature. The design work, the entire circuit diagram

and PCB development, and even the mechanical concepts are

my own work. I carefully selected each individual component—

with the aim of pushing the mixing consoles’ analog and digital

technologies to their limits.

My vision was to enable you, the user, to give free rein to your

true potential and creativity. The result is incredibly powerful mixing

consoles that offer intuitive operation. They cannot fail to impress

with their extremely flexible routing possibilities plus fantastic wealth

of functions. Innovative technologies, such as the completely new

IMP “Invisible” Mic Preamps, guarantee optimum sound quality.

And  extraordinarily  high-quality  components  provide  unrivalled

reliability, even under extreme loads.

Your new UB mixing console is of high quality yet is simple to

use;  you’ll  soon  appreciate  that  I,  both  personally  and  in  my

capacity as musician and sound engineer, put you, the end user,

first and that these products were only possible because of the

passion and the attention to detail that went into them.

Thank  you  for  the  confidence  you  have  placed  in  us  by

purchasing the UB mixing console. I should also like to thank all

those who, with their personal commitment and passion, have

helped me realize this impressive series of mixing consoles.

Kindest  regards,

Uli Behringer
