FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
Welcome to the team of
EUROPOWER users and
thank you very much for
expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER
products by purchasing the
BEHRINGER PMH2000.
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 power mixer
that gives you maximum
flexibility and perfor-
mance with its unique sound character and broad range of
functions. The task to design the new PMH2000 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 make it to 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 PMH2000
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 user of
BEHRINGER products.
