Behringer is a prominent manufacturer of audio equipment, including mixers, amplifiers, signal processors, synthesizers, and digital effects units, known for their affordability and wide range of products. Founded in 1989 by Uli Behringer, the company has grown rapidly to become one of the largest manufacturers of audio equipment in the world.

Behringer’s product lineup covers a broad spectrum of audio equipment, catering to musicians, audio engineers, DJs, and live sound professionals. The company offers a variety of mixers, ranging from compact analog mixers for home studios to digital mixers with advanced features for live sound and recording applications.

In addition to mixers, Behringer produces a wide range of amplifiers, including guitar amps, bass amps, and powered PA speakers, as well as signal processors such as equalizers, compressors, and effects units.

Wah & Filter Pedals

Wah effects sweep a resonant band-pass or related filter through the frequency spectrum, creating the vowel-like movement associated with the treadle. Envelope filters move automatically in response to picking level, while fixed and sequenced filters use other control sources. Sweep range, resonance, direction, sensitivity and input loading determine whether the response is vocal, percussive, smooth or sharply synthetic.

Tags

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

USB

Provides a Universal Serial Bus connection for power, audio, MIDI, firmware or editing data. The supported USB class and connector do not by themselves show its purpose; channel count, sample format, host compatibility and power demand define the actual function.
