Forword
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 made you an expert
in your eld.
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 share my
enthusiasm with our em-
ployees. 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 is more,
I have always had the desire to test the boundaries of what is
technically feasible.
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 next generation of mixing consoles had to
be especially ambitious.
Thus, the concept and design of the new XENYX 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’ combining 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 mixing consoles that
combine incredible performance with intuitive operability. They
cannot fail to impress with their extremely exible routing possibili-
ties plus a fantastic wealth of functions. Innovative technologies,
such as the completely new XENYX Mic Preamps and the „Brit-
ish“ EQs, guarantee optimum sound quality. And extraordinarily
high-quality components provide unrivalled reliability, even under
extreme loads.
Thanks to the quality and ease of use of your new XENYX mixing
console you’ll soon come to appreciate that I, both personally and
in my capacity as musician and sound engineer, put you, the end
user, rst and that these products were only possible because of
the passion and the attention to detail that went into them.
Thank you for the condence you have placed in us by purchasing
the XENYX mixing console. I should also like to thank all those
who, with their personal commitment and passion, have helped
me create this impressive series of mixing consoles.
Kindest regards,
Uli Behringer
