Dear Customer,
welcome to the team of
V-VERB PRO users and
thank you very much for
expressing your confi-
dence in us by purchasing
the REV2496.
Writing this foreword
for you gives me great
pleasure, because it re-
presents the culmination
of many months of hard
work delivered by our
engineering team to
achieve a very ambitious
goal: to present a first-
class reverb processor,
whose
outstanding
audio quality makes it a
welcome addition to
every studio. The task of designing our new V-VERB PRO
REV2496 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 theyve 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 youve
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: its you, our customers! Many satisfied customers
mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing
terms for components, etc. Isnt 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
V-VERB PRO 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, its been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
