FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
Welcome to the team of
PRO MIXER users and
thank you very much for
expressing your confidence
in BEHRINGER products
by purchasing the
DX400. Writing this
foreword for you gives
me great pleasure,
because it represents
the culmination of many
months of hard work
delivered
by
our
engineering team to
achieve a very ambitious
goal: to design an ex-
cellent DJ mixer offering
remarkable functions
with the maximum in
flexibility and perfor-
mance. The task of designing our new PRO MIXER certainly
meant a great deal of responsibility which we assumed by
focusing on you, the discerning user and DJ. Meeting your
expectations also meant a lot of work and effort. 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 has
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
(manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system)
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. So its only fair to pass this benefit on
to you, isnt it? Because we know that your success is our
success too!
I would like to thank all of those who have made the
PRO MIXER 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
