ULTRACOUSTIC AT108
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! By purchasing the AT108, you have obtained
a first-class instrument amplifier that offers you the authentic
tube-like sound in an amazingly compact housing. The
ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 amplifier was designed specifically for
practicing. An additional XLR microphone connector lets you
mike up an acoustic guitar or use your AT108 as a vocal amplifier,
thus giving you extra flexibility.
VTC Virtual Tube Circuitry
The VTC Virtual Tube Circuitry was specially developed to
lend the instrument the unique character of classical tube amps.
Jam it up!
With its CD player input, your AT108 is the ultimate practice
amp, because it couldn’t be easier to play along to your favorite
music. If you don’t want anybody listening to what you’re playing,
or simply wish to avoid disturbing the neighbors, just use your
headphones. The BEHRINGER HPS3000 is ideal just for that.
A companion for life!
The electronic components in your ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 have
been built into a robust metal enclosure for maximum protection.
The cabinet is made of high-grade wood covered with durable
vinyl. The AT108 will never let you down, even when the going
gets tough.

Please read the manual carefully and keep it around
for future reference.
ATTENTION!
+
High volume levels can damage your hearing or your
headphones. Please turn down all volume controls
to zero (all the way to the left) before you power up
the amp. Always make sure you use appropriate
volume levels.

FOREWORD
Dear musician,
Congratulations and
thank you very much for
purchasing the AT108,
BEHRINGER’s newest
addition to the acoustic
instrument amp family.
The ULTRACOUSTIC
AT108 offers the latest
in acoustic instrument
amps, and is guaran-
teed to be an inspiring
companion wherever
music takes you.
Had anybody told you a
few years ago that one
day you’d be able to buy
an instrument amp with
authentic tube sound at
such an unbeatable
price, you would have probably called him nuts. But I wanted
this amp to become reality, and now we’ve actually made it! With
our ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 you can now follow in the footsteps
of all the big guitar legends. Simply unpack it, plug it in and you’re
ready to go! The ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 gives you everything
your heart desires.
What we really wanted was to give you a truly high-quality guitar
amp. Believe me: With all those years of experience under our
belt, we know what an amp needs to put up with. No matter how
often you practice or how many sessions you have with your
friends: when it comes to quality and sound, your
ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 will give you years and years of pure
enjoyment.
Now, just in case you’re wondering how we can offer such a
high-quality guitar amp at such an unbelievably low price... the
answer is totally simple: it’s thanks to you! Many satisfied
customers means large volumes of units sold. Many units sold
means better purchase prices for components, and so on. So, we
just passed this price advantage on to you. It’s only fair, isn’t it?
Enough talk now. One day, when you’re one of those legendary
guitarists yourself, we hope you’ll say that your first real guitar
amp was a BEHRINGER. In that case, you have made a dream
come true for us, too.
We wish you lots of success!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
