FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
Welcome to the team of DDX3216 users, and thank you very
much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products
by purchasing the DDX3216.
It is one of my most pleasant tasks to write this letter to you,
because it is the culmination of many months of hard work
delivered by our engineering team to reach a very ambitious
goal: To produce a digital mixer, which fully satisfies your and
our expectations and delivers a superior sound quality, easy
operation and technical specifications. The task to design the
DDX3216 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 family. 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 (manufactured
under ISO9000 certified management system) 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 manage to 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!
