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
transformed you into 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 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 es-
pecially 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 exible 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, 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 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.
