range of striking functions. The task to design the new SX 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 make it 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!
I would like to thank all people whose help on "Project SX" has
made it all possible. Everybody has made very personal con-
tributions, starting from the designers of the unit to the many
staff members in our company and finally to you, the user of
BEHRINGER products.
My friends, it's been worth the trouble!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
