FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
Welcome to the team of
TWEAKALIZER users and
thanks for expressing
your confidence in
BEHRINGER products by
purchasing the DFX69.
Writing this foreword
for you gives me great
pleasure, because it
represents the culmination
of many months of hard
work delivered by our
engineering team to
achieve a very ambitious
goal: to design an
outstanding DJ effects
processor that offers
remarkable functions as
well as maximum
flexibility and performance. The task of designing our new
TWEAKALIZER represented a great deal of responsibility, which
we surmounted by focusing on you, the discerning user and DJ.
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
everyone who participated can be proud of what theyve
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 youve
made a significant contribution 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
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: its you, our customers! Many satisfied customers
mean large sales volumes, enabling us to get better purchasing
terms for components, etc. We think its only fair to pass this
benefit on to youafter all, your success is our success!
I would like to thank all of those who have made the
TWEAKALIZER possible. You have all made your own personal
contributions, from the developers and the many other employees
at this company to you, the BEHRINGER user.
My friends, its been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
