We are often asked how we manage to produce such high-quality devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is quite simple: it’s you, our customers! Many satisfied customers mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing terms for components, etc. Isn’t it only fair to pass this benefit on to you? Because we know that your success is our success too!

I would like to thank all of you who have made the ACX1000 possible. You have all made your own personal contributions, from the developers to the many other employees at this company, and to you, the BEHRINGER user.
