New Behringer Kit
New Behringer Kit Posted on: 19.01.2012 by Sulema Eshel See http://www.behringer.com/EN/Category...rs.aspx?s=O500 & prices are on various pics at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...8621758&type=1 $99 - $149 for the modulars $199 for the mixtrack type dual decks (with no balanced out - bit of a fail) Need to see the build quality as ever with Behringer, but they do look nice | |

| Diogo Dj Dragão 21.01.2012 | I'm not sure what Behringer is going for with these controllers. I certainly hope they up their quality on these... |
| Chasidy Heckenbach 20.01.2012 | they're saying "summer" i believe, so 6 months would be a good guess... |
| Leeanna Ayla 20.01.2012 | Since the only models on existence are handmade I'll take a guess that it'll be six months before they hit stores. |
| France Evoniuk 20.01.2012 | My prayers have been answered. The CMD MM-1 is exactly what I want. Anyone have ideas about release date? |
| Juliette Vensel 20.01.2012 | The most interesting thing is for a first time midi controller buyer, you can couple the Studio 4A (internal soundcard and dual PL-1) with say the DVS-1 for more parameter control (4 effects) and with a cheaper piece of software ($59 - The One Software), you have yourself a killer little set up at the fraction of the price of many competitors. As I said in the NAMM thread, Behringer is going to shake up the game from a price-point and versatility standpoint. |
| Sulema Eshel 20.01.2012 | Looked at the vid posted on DJTT - quickly pausing the vid, I saw 128, 127.99 & 127.97 on the bpm, so the pitch fader looks nice and accurate The video says that it's "14-bit capable", but I never know whether this means it can output 14-bit midi, but has a resolution lower than this (I've got one that is 14-bit capable, but only runs at 10-bit accuracy). Does Traktor even respond to changes in pitch that are smaller than it's 0.01bpm on-screen indicated increments? Still, it'll do for me, except that the slider is only 2 1/2 inches (I believe) long I do like the led's alongside the tempo fader though, to show where the on-screen slider is. |

| Kiyoko Wellisch 20.01.2012 | There's loads of affordable CDJs out there- don't need to wait for behringer to make something (which I doubt they ever will). Still you get what you pay for with CDJs (except with the low end Pioneer stuff, there you're paying for a name too.) |
| Patty Mcgilbra 20.01.2012 | US & UK/Europe prices have for the NOX series been pretty much identical, that is not 150$ and 150 |
| Lisa Lochotzki 20.01.2012 | DJTT blog page state the Price in US, not sure about the UK one.... |
| Lynetta Stanislav 20.01.2012 | really interested in these hope there launched soon in the UK |
| Jonathan Lokey 20.01.2012 | Does anyone know the UK prices for these? Im guessing that they will be more expensive here in the uk. |
| Johnetta Olewine 20.01.2012 | the mm1 has a 4 port powered USB hub |
| Clay Lorow 20.01.2012 | I have spotted this at the end of the brochure from their site: Seams that controllers are going to be linkable but on all pics I have seen I can't find more than one usb on the back... |
| Azucena Minks 20.01.2012 | +1 for the midi mixer with built in hub! CMD MM-1 + Xone K2 + MPC Studio (+ the trusty Kontrol X1) = My new rig or possibly just 2x K2's and the MPC |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 20.01.2012 | Actually, something cool about the ableton clip grid controller- you could map a button to shift the box one full width to the left/right (this is possible, right?) and get control over all your channels with no worries since you don't have to worry about fader position as it has encoders rather than knobs. At first I thought that 4 columns wasn't many but baring this in mind it doesn't matter so much. |
| Lashay Walchak 19.01.2012 | DC-1 screams sample deck volume/filters for this S2 user! Nice looking affordable stuff all the way around. |
| Sulema Eshel 19.01.2012 | It's great to see so many people liking the product for what it is, rather than hating the company for what it was. Behringer (Bear-ring-jer, not Be-ringer ) are a great company moving forward, trying to help musicians/DJs etc with cheap, but effective products. It's about time people stopped slagging them off, and took them seriously (cause it sounds like they have more of this sort of stuff in the pipeline). Read the Scratchworx article and you will see that they could have charged more, but didn't want to - surely you'd prefer to buy your kit of a company like this than one who are only interested in how much they can get out of you for their latest gear
?? Charging as little as possible, whilst still being economic is Behringers policy - how can anyone moan at that??? I have bought some of their PA kit (amps, xovers), and it's great stuff. Hey, I've even still got my BCD3000 which started my whole transformation from vinyl to MP3 - and I still use it to rock parties (admittedly, not the jogs tho, ok not the buttons either really, but the pots are all in use ). Behringer are a big company (see their manufacturing 'village' in China, it's big). With their clout they are going to become big players soon - yeah, some people will always turn up their nose in disgust (like some people still do with Numark), but if they want to pay over the odds for worse gear, let them! Brand snobbery sucks, and people who claim you can ONLY rock a club with Pioneer gear... well Kudos to everyone on here for looking at the product, not the company. (sorry, have had so many slaggings on other posts today, it's great to come 'home' and see this response... not just a kneejeck 'Behringer=s**t'). I remember now why I do most of my posting here! Keep up the good work y'all. P.S. Now hopefully Gemini (yes, Gemini) can make their CDJ700 as they promised - they said it's supposed to be waay better than their previous stuff (they must know that they were getting a bad rep & could not let it continue). If so, it could be a great time coming up with cheap, but good gear (my favourite type) - I couldn't care less who builds it, I only care how well it works and how it holds up to the rigours of the road (as our free parties are pretty tough on gear !). Thanks if you read this |
| Johnetta Olewine 19.01.2012 | so, estimated release date been announced yet? Gonna preorder up in this bitch. And thats coming from someone who has never preordered anything and laughs at early adopter beta testers... |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 19.01.2012 | So so so sweet. Where's nem0mic? I have plenty of questions for him :P I really believe the CMD DC-1 should have banks on those pads. I hope you can set it up so the numbered buttons switch banks rather than send midi data themselves. |
| Gavin Rachor 19.01.2012 | They sure are a step up from the BCD3000, as well. |
| Denisse Franklyn 19.01.2012 | My mind was completely blown away... by the pricing! Products look sick, but affordable too? Insane. |
| Bertie Metro 19.01.2012 | As i said in another thread, gimme the mixer and i'll put some infinium inside Or gimme 4 of the one with the pads, and then i'd have a perfect 16x4 step sequencer with encoders to boots ! |
| Sulema Eshel 19.01.2012 | Cheers for the article. My VCI400 plans got binned today (Ean - you can take me off your VCI400 pre-order list! ) Imagining how to map these, and for once, I have TOO MANY controls - sweet, no more shift buttons or modifiers! Going to be watching this thread with great interest. |

| Gavin Rachor 19.01.2012 | I could quite easily see myself getting the all-in-one controller. Finally a low-cost controller with nice long pitch faders. |

DVS-1 for 99usd!?!?!? could be awesome for effects control in traktor... tho so would the DC-1 for some hybrid of direct effect control and instant grat type pads... not sure why the LC-1 is 150usd and not 100usd but still looks great. edit: guess the multi color leds in the LC-1 pushes the price up with that one |
| Arcelia Siebeneck 19.01.2012 | fuckme - Behringer have absolutely nailed it... the rest of the competition should be very worried. |
| Ralph Alderette 19.01.2012 | yes! exactly what I was gonna type! 3 year warranty=big step up. I'm definitely going to check out these controllers.. especially since there's more LEDs on the Mixer controller. I hate how inaccurate the LEDs are on the Traktor S4.. |
| Rolanda Clodfelder 19.01.2012 | Oh shitz, I'm getting really excited after seeing the skratchworx pics... Their DJ controller looks like it'd kick the Ergo's ass. The clip launcher looks AWESOME 2 of them paired up with the mixer I WANT ! The lineup looks really superbly "pro" Prices are ridiculous! and to top it all off !
The quality of the final units will be much better than you might expect. To underline this, Behringer have announced a new 3 year warranty on everything. That's a very welcome move that should build confidence in new Behringer.

| Chasidy Heckenbach 19.01.2012 | wow... suddenly it's not just "k2 and/or new NI controller"... these are some really interesting alternatives. guess i'll be waiting to find out more about these before jumping on the k2 as soon as it's out now. they should probably have released the k2 a month ago |
| Cesar Bores 19.01.2012 | Any Idea on a release date? And what do the x-fader and knobs feel like? |
| Johnetta Olewine 19.01.2012 | great article gizmo |
