FOREWORD

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 trans- formed you into an expert in your field!

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 that 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 especially 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 flexible 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, first and that these products were only possible because of the passion and the attention to detail that went into them.

Thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing the UB mixing console. I would also like to thank all those who, with their personal commitment and passion, have helped me realize this impressive series of mixing consoles.

Kindest regards,

Uli Behringer
