BEHRINGER Spezielle Studiotechnik GmbH (Behringer) is a German company, founded in its present form in 1989, that manufactures and sells musical equipment. The company began outsourcing manufacturing to China before it was common among other manufacturers in this field. By doing this, the company has managed to be a major player in the low cost segment of such equipment. The company has been accused of copying other manufacturers' designs, resulting in corporate lawsuits from Alesis, Mackie, and Roland (makers of the BOSS Brand). These lawsuits and the, sometimes improbable, low price of Behringer's equipment has resulted in a somewhat questionable reputation amongst some music professionals, however Behringer have been able to provide music technology students and enthusiasts with user friendly products at a low cost in comparison to other companies products. They use Jensen brand speakers, which are very good quality and also used by Fender. They make very low priced amps that provide good tones, many different adjustments and also a series that comes with over 20 digital effects (auto-wah, chorus, flanger, etc.) built in.
Behringer designs and manufactures a full line of professional audio products for musicians and sound engineers. Their products include mixing consoles, analog and digital signal processors, guitar amplifiers, studio reference monitors, microphones, MIDI controllers and public address enclosures.
