FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
Welcome to the team of
ULTRABASS users and
thank you very much for
expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER
products by purchasing the BEHRINGER
BX4210A/BX4210.
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 present you with
an outstanding bass
workstation that gives
you maximum flexibility and performance with its unique sound
character and broad range of functions.
The task to design the new ULTRABASS 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 weve 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 youve 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 produce such high-grade
devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is quite
simple: its you, our customers! Many satisfied customers means
large sales volumes enabling us to get better conditions of
purchase for components, etc. Isnt 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
ULTRABASS has made it all possible. Everybody has made
very personal contributions, starting from the designers of the
unit to the many staff members in our company and finally to you,
the users of BEHRINGER products.
My friends, its been worth the trouble!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
