The surest way to build it right
is to build it yourself.
The latest manufacturing fad is outsourcing. Have somebody
else build it. Somewhere. Just keep those containers coming.
At BEHRINGER, we believe that the only way to ensure quality and
maximize value is to build our
products in our own state-of-theart
factory. An ISO 9001/9002-
certifi ed factory where the
working conditions are so good
that we have a waiting list for
employment.
From the circuitry in our
mixers to the fretwork on our
guitars, it’s all made under one roof (well, actually six really, really big
roofs). We fabricate our own cabinets in a huge woodshop, stuff our
own circuit boards and test, re-test and re-re-test every unit before
it leaves.
Unlike the vast majority of our
competitors, we build our own
speakers. We mold the cones
from raw pulp, machine our own
parts and wind our own voice
coils. It was worth the huge
investment.
What does this all mean
to you? More value for your money when you buy a BEHRINGER
product. And the assurance that it will last through years of use.
BEHRINGER CITY, where
musical passion meets
quality.
The city of Zhong Shan in Guangdong Province,
China, is a modern metropolis with scenic parks
and wide boulevards. It is also where the heart of
BEHRINGER’s manufacturing operations is situated.
BEHRINGER City is a vibrant community that
integrates every facet of the production chain under
one roof. This is where every BEHRINGER product is
manufactured and distributed globally. More than
3,000 enthusiastic employees work, live and play
in an over-1- million-square foot city comprised of
manufacturing facilities and living/recreational area.
Founded by Uli Behringer, who remains deeply
involved in day-to-day operations, BEHRINGER has a
track record of manufacturing excellence that spans
two decades. BEHRINGER City was built as a model of
efficiency. Each building is meticulously planned and
designed to fulfill clearly defined functions. Factories
and operations such as Electronics, Loudspeakers,
Wood, Electric Guitars, Digital Pianos, Research and
Development, Administration and Warehousing are
all strategically positioned to offer an uninterrupted
flow in the manufacturing process.
BEHRINGER’s application of integrated production
principles has heralded a significant increase
in efficiency and successful implementation of
Total Quality Management. This means that every
product model has passed a set of stringent reliability
tests and leaves the manufacturing line in strict
compliance with internationally recognized
standards.
With BEHRINGER City now in full operation,
BEHRINGER is set to continue to blaze the trail of
success ahead into the future. Indeed, BEHRINGER

combined with the latest technology has led
us to innovations like DSP active loudspeakers,

It just never stops.
Celebrating twenty
years in pro audio.
Twenty years ago, young
Uli Behringer was a starving sound
engineering student and jazz
musician living in Düsseldorf. He
couldn‘t c aff ord quality pro audio
electronics. Luckily, he
had a long
track record of tinkering
with electronics (he built b ilt his hi fi first
rst
synthesizer and a digital reverb at
the age of 16). So Uli set out to
create his own pro audio gear. In his
apartment. On the kitchen table.
His fi rst real product, the Studio
Exciter, worked so well that friends
started asking him to build them
one. He soldered together a few;
one got into the hands of a magazine
reviewer who loved it and the rest is
history. Plus a lot of hard work.
As BEHRINGER grew, Uli never
lost sight of the fact that musicians
never have enough money for all of
the audio toys they‘d love to own. He
made it his personal mission to build
great products for musicians who
don’t have deep pockets. So then as
now, our products are designed to be
as aff ordable as possible — without
sacrifi cing audio quality or durability.
As you page through this catalog,
you‘ll see hundreds of examples of
this philosophy. It‘s kept us growing
for twenty years. And thanks to
musicians like yourself who supported
us in all these years, we‘re looking
forward to another twenty starting
right now!
