Is the Behringer BCD2000 a mixer as well?
Is the Behringer BCD2000 a mixer as well? Posted on: 06.02.2013 by Earleen Bastable Hi,I need a new mixer and i want one with EQs for each channel for my two turntables. Ive seen this http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BCD2000.aspx second hand for a good price, I know its a controller, but it also says' complete dj setup including mixer' so could I use this as the controller but also as a traditional 'mixer' with the EQs etc when i want to use my decks with traktor scratch? Thanks! | |

32-bit USB ASIO/MIDI driver:
Adapted for BCD2000 Running on Windows XP (32-bit) Restrictions on Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32-bit): Driver installation has to be repeated in ‘compatibility mode’ if an error message appears while first installation try No support for Windows 7 (64-bit) Fixes a problem concerning isochronous streams on Intel 82801FB/FBM host controller (used on many mainboards nowadays, e.g. DELL Optiplex GX280) BCD2000-driver-setup-1-1-1-0.exe |

| Diogo Dj Dragão 06.02.2013 | I'm the DJ product Manager for Behringer and I highly recommend you do not purchase the BCD2000. We have a much newer line of MIDI controllers coming out in the next month or so that we will support for years going forward, you'll get a 3 year warranty from the start, and they'll be bundled with contemporary software (Deckadance 2 LE). If you must make a purchase right now, there are many solid entry level controllers out there that will give you a better overall experience. The BCD2000 was great when it was released in 2005, but it's going to be a problem for you now. |

I don't know about the 2k but the 3k has a built in soundcard so you don't need an audio 2/4/6 etc. Pretty solid beginner controller/mixer for dvs. |
| Kellie Myrum 06.02.2013 | It's 2 in (phono - phono/line) and 2 out (master - headphones). And yes, you'll need computer running. |
| Ara Tima 06.02.2013 | It doesn't work with a 64 bit OS either... The 2000 is a bit of a evening mare on newer machines. |
| Doreen Schurle 06.02.2013 | The BCD2000, from what I can tell, is a 6 in / 4 out USB audio interface with an EQ section and FX controls, as well as a couple of jogwheels. The one downside to it is that you can't use it with a pair of CDJs, as only one input is switchable to Line level; it'll happily support a pair of turntables though, assuming you're using Traktor/Serato. It WON'T work as an analog mixer (without a laptop). |
| Tania Somppi 06.02.2013 | No It needs a computer running some DJ software to act as a "mixer" |
