FOREWORD

Dear Customer,

Welcome to the team of ULTRABASS users and thank you very much for expressing your confi- dence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing the BEHRINGER BX4410/ BX4410A.

It is one of my most pleasant tasks to write this letter to you, because it is the cul- mination of many months of hard work delivered by our engineering team to reach a very ambitious goal: to present you with an outstanding bass workstation that gives

you maximum flexibility and performance with its unique sound character and broad range of functions.

The task to design the new ULTRABASS certainly meant a great deal of responsibility, which we assumed by focusing on you, the discerning user and musician. It also meant a lot of work and night shifts to accomplish this goal. But it was fun, too. Developing a product usually brings a lot of people together, and what a great feeling it is when everybody who participated in such a project can be proud of what we’ve achieved.

It is our philosophy to share our joy with you, because you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team. With your highly competent suggestions for new products you’ve greatly contributed to shaping our company and making it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely favorable price. All of this will enable you to fully unfold your creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.

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

I would like to thank all people whose help on “Project ULTRABASS” has made it all possible. Everybody has made very personal contributions, starting from the designers of the unit to the many staff members in our company and finally to you, the users of BEHRINGER products.

My friends, it’s been worth the trouble!

Thank you very much,

Uli Behringer
