A Passion for Keyboards
Our founder, Uli Behringer has a deep passion for keyboards. Born in the small town of Baden,
Switzerland in 1961, Uli grew up in a musical family where his mother taught him to play the
piano at the tender age of four. His father was a scientist who built a massive organ in the family
home and taught the young lad all about electronics. So at the age of 17, Behringer built his first
synthesizer – the UB-1. Later, while attending college to seek a degree in audio engineering, Uli put
his electronics knowledge to use, building his own equalizers and signal processors to fill the gap
left by the university's inability to provide enough proper studio gear. Word soon spread about how
good his products were, and he began building gear for his friends – the
