Dear Customer,
I’m sure you’re one of
those people who have
devoted themselves body
and soul to your chosen
area and no doubt this has
transformed you into an
expert in your field!
Well, for over 30 years,
my passion has been
music and electronics.
This not only led me to
establish BEHRINGER,
but also enabled me to
convey and share my
enthusiasm with my
employees.
During all the years I’ve
been involved with studio
technology and end users,
I have developed a feel for the things that really count, such as
sound quality, reliability and ease of use. What’s more, I have always
had the desire to push the boundaries of technical possibilities to the
extreme.
It was precisely this motivation that prompted me to start work
on a new series of mixing consoles. Since our EURORACKs had
already set new standards world-wide, I knew the development
objectives behind the products bearing my initials had to be
especially ambitious.
Thus, the concept and design of the new UB mixing consoles
bear my signature. The design work, the entire circuit diagram
and PCB development, and even the mechanical concepts are
my own work. I carefully selected each individual component—
with the aim of pushing the mixing consoles’ analog and digital
technologies to their limits.
My vision was to enable you, the user, to give free rein to your
true potential and creativity. The result is incredibly powerful mixing
consoles that offer intuitive operation. They cannot fail to impress
with their extremely flexible routing possibilities plus fantastic wealth
of functions. Innovative technologies, such as the completely new
IMP “Invisible” Mic Preamps, guarantee optimum sound quality.
And extraordinarily high-quality components provide unrivalled
reliability, even under extreme loads.
Your new UB mixing console is of high quality yet is simple to
use; you’ll soon appreciate that I, both personally and in my
capacity as musician and sound engineer, put you, the end user,
first and that these products were only possible because of the
passion and the attention to detail that went into them.
Thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by
purchasing the UB mixing console. I should also like to thank all
those who, with their personal commitment and passion, have
helped me realize this impressive series of mixing consoles.
Kindest regards,
Uli Behringer
