Foreword
Dear customer,
Welcome to the team of
ULTRABASS users and
thank you very much for
expressing your confi-
dence in BEHRINGER
products by purchas-
ing the BEHRINGER
BVT4500H/BVT5500H.
Writing this foreword for
you gives me great plea-
sure, because it repre-
sents the culmination of
many months of hard work
delivered by our engineer-
ing team to achieve a very
ambitious goal: to pres-
ent an outstanding bass
workstation that gives
you maximum flexibility
and performance with its
unique sound character and broad range of functions.
The task of designing our new BVT4500H/5500H 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. De-
veloping a product usually brings a lot of people together. 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 signicant 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 satised customers mean
large sales volumes, enabling us to get better purchasing terms
for components, etc. Isn’t it only fair to pass this benet on to you?
Because we know that your success is our success, too!
I would like to thank everyone who has made the BVT4500H/5500H
possible. You have all made your own personal contributions, from
the developers and the many other employees at this company,
to you, the BEHRINGER user.
My friends, it’s been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
