ULTRA-GRAPH PRO GEQ3102

FOREWORD

Dear Customer,

Welcome to the team of ULTRA-GRAPH PRO users and thank you very much for expressing your confidence

in BEHRINGER products by purchasing the GEQ3102.
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: making an outstanding device that

will  become  a  standard  tool  used  by  studios  and  P.A.  companies.  The  task  to  design  the

ULTRA-GRAPH PRO 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

family. 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 possible to produce such high-grade 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 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 ULTRA-GRAPH PRO” has made it all possible. Everybody

has made very personal contributions, starting from the designers of the unit via the many staff members in our

company to you, the user of BEHRINGER products.

My friends, it’s been worth the trouble!

Thank you very much,

Uli Behringer
