FOREWORD
and performance with their unique sound character and broad
range of functions. The task of designing these new products
certainly meant a great deal of responsibility, which we assumed
by focusing on you, the discerning user and musician. Meeting
your expectations also meant a lot of work and night shifts. But
it was fun, too. Developing a product usually brings a lot of
people together, and what a great feeling it is when all who
participated in such a project can be proud of what they've
achieved.
It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because
you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team.
With your highly competent suggestions for new products you've
made a significant contribution 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
reasonable price. All of this will enable you to give free rein to
your creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.
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
means 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 V-AMPIRE/
V-AMP PRO/V-AMP 2 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.
My friends, it's been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
