'''The Behringer Story'''


Uli Behringer, the company's founder, was committed to music and technology from a very early age, and had constructed a [[synthesizer]] (the UB-1) by the age of 16 in 1977.

From a “kitchen-table startup” to one of the largest and most successful pro-audio companies in the World.
While studying sound engineering and classical piano at the [[Robert Schumann Hochschule|Robert Schumann conservatory]] in [[Düsseldorf]], Behringer found the university had limited equipment for student use, so he started to build his own products. His fellow students requested equipment from him too, and soon he was receiving more orders than he could handle himself, leading to the creation of Behringer Inc.<ref name="OurStory"/>
In the early days, Behringer focused on studio audio processors such as noise reduction systems and compressors,<ref name="OurStory"/> but the product line soon included guitar amps, PA amplifiers and loudspeakers, mixing boards, stompboxes, recording interfaces, microphones, digital pianos, guitars, lighting equipment, etc. The appeal of Behringer's products was the package of performance and low price.<ref name="Music Trades, April 2009">{{cite journal | url = http://www.entrepreneur.com/tradejournals/article/197492837.html | title = Behringer turns 20: aggressive music & audio manufacturer marks two decades of growth with a vertically integrated manufacturing | journal = [[The Music Trades]] | date = April 2009 | accessdate = 29 December 2009}}</ref>


Founded in 1989, as a struggling musician and sound engineer, Uli Behringer couldn’t afford the necessary equipment for his own studio. Initially building products for himself only, he soon supplied them for his friends, too. This led to Behringer’s philosophy to deliver life-changing products at prices everyone can afford.
While Behringer products were manufactured in Willich, Germany, many of the individual components were imported from mainland China. In 1990, to lower production costs, Behringer shifted production from West Germany to mainland China. Initially, subcontractors were engaged to produce the equipment. By 1997, Uli Behringer had relocated to Hong Kong in an effort to supervise manufacturing quality and to better understand Chinese culture.<ref>Music Trades, Jan 2004</ref><ref name="Music Trades, Nov 2008">''[[The Music Trades]],'' Nov 2008</ref>

=== Music Tribe Expansion ===
In a comprehensive interview with Uli Behringer, Peter from Amazona.de talked about Behringer's expansion and how it has grown enormously in brands in recent years.

Behringer mentioned: "...In the 30 years that Behringer has existed, we have learned that customers reward us with loyalty according to the motto - "Do good things for customers all the time and you win them for life"...

Music Tribe is a superordinate “enabler” or “facilitator” whose internal customers are the 12 brands. So it is a "shared service" that enables brands to develop and concentrate on what is important for their customers, e.g. B. Product development or customer interaction. Functions such as production, financing or sales can be taken over as a joint service - and this is exactly what Music Tribe does."

Behringer is an audio equipment company founded by the Swiss engineer Uli Behringer on January 25, 1989, in Willich, Germany. Behringer was listed as the 14th largest manufacturer of music products in 2007.[3] Behringer is a multinational group of companies, with direct marketing presence in 10 countries or territories and a sales network in over 130 countries around the world. Though originally a German manufacturer, the company now makes its products in China.

The company is owned by Music Tribe, a holding company also founded and chaired by Uli Behringer, and currently based in the tax haven British Virgin Islands. It also owns other audio companies such as Midas, Klark Teknik and Bugera,[4] as well as Electronic Manufacturing Services company Eurotec. In June 2012, Music Group also acquired Turbosound company, which designs and manufactures professional loudspeaker systems and was formerly owned by Harman.[5][6]

History

The Behringer Story

Uli Behringer, the company's founder, was committed to music and technology from a very early age, and had constructed a synthesizer (the UB-1) by the age of 16 in 1977.

From a “kitchen-table startup” to one of the largest and most successful pro-audio companies in the World.

Founded in 1989, as a struggling musician and sound engineer, Uli Behringer couldn’t afford the necessary equipment for his own studio. Initially building products for himself only, he soon supplied them for his friends, too. This led to Behringer’s philosophy to deliver life-changing products at prices everyone can afford.

Former Behringer logo.

According to Uli Behringer his piano teacher, impressed with his sense of perfect pitch, nicknamed him "The Ear", the inspiration for the Behringer Ear logo. The highlighted "ING" stands for "diploma engineer", or the German academic title "Dipl.-Ing", which he received upon his graduation from the Fachhochschule Düsseldorf.

The logo was updated to the current logo in September 2010.

Behringer Acquired Coolaudio

In May 2000, Behringer acquired the rights to the entire Coolaudio technology from Intersil Corporation, a US-based semi-conductor manufacturer. Coolaudio is a high-power Class-D amplification technology with power ratings up to 4,000 watts and efficiencies up to 90%, which has been rated as high audio quality.

Comprising eight buildings that produces electronics, speakers, guitars and digital pianos and also hosts an onsite health clinic. This strategy was different than that taken by other musical instrument companies who used third party manufacturers. Choosing to run a self-contained plant allowed Behringer a greater level of quality control. The 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) manufacturing complex in Zhongshan ships more than 2.5 million Behringer products per year to markets around the globe.
