EURORACK MX602A

WELCOME

Dear Sound Engineer,

Welcome to the BEHRINGER EURORACK MX602A and thank you for placing your trust in BEHRINGER
products. My most pleasant task is to write this introduction to you, because it is the culmination of many
months of hard work for our engineering team. Our daily objective is to be focused on you, the Sound Engineer,
and with that focus in mind, it drives us to reach a goal which is unique, and is the backbone of the BEHRINGER
philosophy.

That philosophy is very simple, that you the Sound Engineer, are the most important part of the BEHRINGER
family. We will not accept anything less for you, than the highest quality, best specified product, at the lowest
price. This enables you to express your full creativity without price being a concern.

Due to the hundreds of thousands of satisfied BEHRINGER users around the world, we are able to demand
very high quality components at extremely low prices, making the final cost of our products astonishingly low.
Why then, shouldn't we pass the benefit of our good fortune back to you, the Sound Engineer? This enables
you to own the type of quality equipment that previously would have cost very much more. It also gives you the
confidence that your new equipment uses technology which is leading the way in the field of Audio Design.

I would like to thank the following people, whose help on “Project EURORACK” has made it all possible.
Everybody has made very personal contributions, starting from the designers of the unit via the many staff
members in my company to you, the user of BEHRINGER products.

Can you imagine the feeling of mixing a gold record? We believe a creative composer lies in you and we want
to share in your success. Our products are built for people like you – people with a fine ear – and as you have
trusted us by buying the BEHRINGER EURORACK, we return your trust by welcoming you into the BEHRINGER
family.

Thank you and sincerely yours,

Uli Behringer
