Many people wonder how Behringer come up with such high quality products at such low prices. Ask Uli Behringer (the founder) how he does it, and he'll say something like "The unprecedented number of new products is a sound testimony of BEHRINGER’s success in establishing its wholly-owned, full-fledged R&D and manufacturing base in China since 2001." However, ask Mackie or Boss, and the reply may be slightly different. Behringer have apparently "...copied Boss, EH, Mackie, Tech21, G&K, and many others. Their stuff is cheaper not only because they steal designs, but because they build it cheaper." Behringer have now faced several in and out-of court settlements with various comptitors over the design of many of their products. Behringer have been accused of doing virtually none of their own R&D and of copying the image or look of many products; compare below.
