BASIC Series

No Compromises!

BASIC – that’s meeting the tightest budgets and professional requirements in reliability, flexibility and sound. Alone or in combination with the other products of the Bittner portfolio.

The consequent realisation of the Bittner quality standards indicates once more our understanding of the contracting business. It underlines our philosophy that cost consciousness has nothing to do with giving up standards. Compromise is a word unknown to Bittner Audio!

The incorporation of detent potentiometers, clip limiter, protection circuits for any imaginable situation, as well as a first-class production process using only highest-quality components made the BASIC series the choice of most contractors.

Certainly more than basic!
