Human-First, Fan-ObsessedWe Hear You.
We at Behringer believe in carefully listening to you and providing you with life-changing products at prices so you can fulfill your musical dreams.
Our StoryFounded 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.
We obsessively focus on our Customers in the Live Portable Sound, Musician, Recording, DJ/EDM and Broadcast verticals.
"The best products aren't designed in boardrooms—they're co-created with the people who use them every day."
— Uli Behringer, Founder
Our JourneyFrom humble beginnings to a global movement, here's how we got here.
I'd like to take this opportunity to share a little history with you. I was born 1961 in Baden, a tiny little town in Switzerland close to Zurich. I grew up in a musical family where my mother taught me to play the piano at the age of four.
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.
Uli Behringer moved to Düsseldorf to study piano and sound engineering, launching his first Digital Reverb that same year.
Behringer evolved from a startup into a global leader, defined by its iconic logo featuring a stylized ear and Uli’s name inside a triangle.

Shortly after I arrived in Dusseldorf I met and dated a beautiful girl who was also a great singer (guess that did the job) and whose father was the general manager of one of the most famous chocolate manufacturers in Germany called Storck.
Originally "Made in Germany," this analog summing compressor was a breakthrough for broadcast-quality audio. It proved that even the most sophisticated technology could be made accessible without sacrificing quality.
