Behringer: a brief history
Uli Behringer showed an interest in music technology design at a young age, building his own synthesizer by the time he was 16. In 1982, Uli began studying sound engineering and classical piano at the Robert Schumann conservatory in Düsseldorf, Germany. Uli’s defining moment came when he was repairing a signal processor made by a high-end manufacturer. Despite the processor’s expensive price tag, Uli realized that its internal components could be bought for a fraction of the cost. Being a strapped-for-cash student, Uli began building his own signal processors. Before he knew it, other students began requesting equipment from him. In 1989, after being bombarded with more orders than he could handle alone, Uli created Behringer, Inc.
