Behringer Audio in Pakistan

Behringer, an audio equipment brand, was founded in 1989 by Uli Behringer in Willich, Germany. By 2007, it ranked as the 14th largest music product manufacturer. Now a multinational company, Behringer operates in 10 countries and sells in over 130 nations. Although it began in Germany, the company now produces its products in China.

Owned by Music Group, led by Uli Behringer, the holding company also owns brands like Midas, Klark Teknik, Bugera, and Eurotec. In 2012, Music Group acquired Turbosound, a loudspeaker brand previously owned by Harman.

The company’s logo was inspired by Uli Behringer’s piano teacher, who called him “The Ear” for his perfect pitch. The “ING” in the logo highlights Uli’s academic title, “Dipl.-Ing,” from Fachhochschule Düsseldorf. In 2010, the logo was updated.

In 2000, bought CoolAudio technology from Intersil Corporation. This high-power Class-D amplification tech delivers up to 4,000 watts at 90% efficiency, known for superior sound quality. The deal also included intellectual property and licensees like Alpine and Rowe.

By 2002, established its own factory, Behringer City, in Zhongshan, China. This 1.2 million square-foot facility combines all production sites into one location, manufacturing electronics, guitars, speakers, and more. It ships over 2.5 million products yearly, with more than 50,000 mixers sent monthly and a failure rate under 0.1%.
