FOREWORD

Dear Customer,

Welcome to the team of ULTRATONE users and thank you very much for expressing your confi- dence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing this keyboard amp.

It is one of my most pleasant tasks to write this letter to you, be- cause it is the culmi- nation of many months of hard work delivered by our engineering team to reach a very ambitious goal: to present you with a series of outstanding keyboard amplifiers that give you maximum flexi-

bility and performance with their unique sound character and broad range of functions.

The task to design the new ULTRATONE series 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 ULTRATONE” 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

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! The ULTRATONE is a modern, powerful keyboard amplifier with the qualities of a complete PA system. It combines a whole lot of features, huge power reserves and extreme flexibility in one device, and thanks to its comprehensive connection and extension options—for example Stereo Link facility for true stereo operation and additional Line Out for direct connection to a mixing console—you will always be able to achieve the best possible performance in every situation.
