B-CONTROL DEEJAY BCD2000
FOREWORD
the wish of DJs who want intuitive and needs-oriented controllers.
The task of designing our new B-CONTROL certainly meant a
great deal of responsibility, which we assumed by focusing on
you, the discerning computer 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
equipment at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is quite
simple: it’s you, our customers! Many satisfied customers mean
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 B-CONTROL
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
