FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
Welcome to the team of
EURODESK users and
thank you very much for
expressing your confi-
dence in BEHRINGER
products by purchasing
this mixing console.
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:
to present you two
outstanding mixing
consoles that give you
maximum flexibility and
performance with a unique sound character and broad range of
striking functions. The task to design the new SL series 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 team. 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 to produce such
high-grade devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer
is quite simple: it’s you, our customers! Many satisfied customers
means 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 SL” has
made it all possible. Everybody has made very personal
contributions, starting from the designers of the unit to the many
staff members in our company and finally to you, the user of
BEHRINGER products.
My friends, it’s been worth the trouble!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
