FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
welcome to the team of
BEHRINGER users, and
thank you very much for
expressing your confi-
dence in us by pur-
chasing the FCB1010.
Writing this foreword
for you gives me great
pleasure, because it
represents the cul-
mination of many months
of hard work delivered
by our engineering team
to achieve a very
ambitious goal: to
present you with an
outstanding device that
gives you maximum
flexibility and perfor-
mance; both live on stage and in the studio. The task of designing
our new FCB1010 certainly meant a great deal of responsibility,
which we assumed by focusing on you, the discerning user and
musician. 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 all who participated in such a project can be proud of
what theyve 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 youve
made a significant contribution 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
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: its you, our customers! Many satisfied customers
mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing
terms for components, etc. Isnt it only fair to pass this benefit on
to you? Because we know that your success is our success
too!
I would like to thank all of you who have made the FCB1010
possible. You have all made your own personal contributions,
from the developers to the many other employees at this company,
and to you, the BEHRINGER user.
My friends, its been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
