FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
Welcome to the team of
ULTRATONE users and
thank you very much for
expressing your confi-
dence in BEHRINGER
products by purchasing
this keyboard amp.
It is one of my most
pleasant tasks to write
this letter to you, be-
cause it is the culmi-
nation of many months
of hard work delivered
by our engineering team
to reach a very ambitious
goal: to present you with
a series of outstanding
keyboard amplifiers that
give you maximum flexi-
bility and performance with their unique sound character and
broad range of functions.
The task to design the new ULTRATONE 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 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
ULTRATONE” 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, it’s been worth the trouble!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer

1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! The ULTRATONE is a modern, powerful
keyboard amplifier with the qualities of a complete PA system. It
combines a whole lot of features, huge power reserves and
extreme flexibility in one device, and thanks to its comprehensive
connection and extension options—for example Stereo Link
facility for true stereo operation and additional Line Out for direct
connection to a mixing console—you will always be able to
achieve the best possible performance in every situation.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

Your ULTRATONE was carefully packed at the factory, and the
packaging was designed to protect the unit from rough handling.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the
packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage
that may have occurred during transit.
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to
BEHRINGER. Instead, notify your dealer and the
shipping company immediately. Otherwise, claims
for damage or replacement may not be honored.
Always use the original packing carton to prevent
damage during storage or transport.
Make sure that no children are left unsupervised
with the ULTRATONE or its packaging.
Please ensure proper disposal of all packing materials.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling
and please do not place the ULTRATONE on high temperature
devices such as radiators etc. to avoid overheating.
Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same
type and rating! Please refer to the
“SPECIFICATIONS” for details.
The mains connection of the ULTRATONE is made by using the
enclosed mains cable and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all
of the international safety certification requirements.
