FOREWORD
Dear Customer,
welcome to the team of
BEHRINGER users, and
thank you very much for
expressing your confi-
dence in us by purchasing
this power amplifier.
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
engineering team to
achieve a very ambitious
goal: to develop two out-
standing power amp-
lifiers, whose flexibility
lets them respond to all
the P.A. and instrument
amplification requirements. The task of designing our new
EUROPOWER EP1500 and EP2500 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 theyve 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 youve
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: 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 EUROPOWER
power amplifiers 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, its been worth the effort!
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
