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 theyve achieved.

making it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising

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 equipment 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. Isnt 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
ULTRABASS BA810 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.
Uli Behringer

workmanship and good tranpsortability thanks to the integrated
rollers. All these characteristics make the ULTRABASS BA810
an absolutely high-value, dependable companion on the stage,
in the studio or in your practice room.
