Behringer Xenyx Control2USB Studio Control and Communication Center

Small knobs lack precision - but the bigger the knob, the better the level of precision. small circle/knob the distance from one degree to the next is very small, making it challenging to dial-in perfection. On Behringer's really big knob, the distance between the degrees of the circle is much larger, allowing you to make minute adjustments with ease. CONTROL2USB lets you set levels fast and accurately, which can be critical to the final sound when it comes to mastering an important project. What is VCA? Unlike the typical and inexpensive resistive faders used by their competitors, the CONTROL2USB utilizes high-end Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) technology to provide the ultimate in precision level adjustment. And while conventional faders directly control how much of the signal passes through to the amplifier, their bigger knob actually controls the voltage that drives the amplifier, for output that remains absolutely faithful to the source. Built-in USB Connectivity The high-quality, built-in USB audio interface lets you connect directly to your computer and its digital library, creating the ultimate sound source control center - with no additional hardware or drivers required. More Monitor Options In the golden age of recording, engineers had to make the mix sound great in just two places, the studio and the car. When you consider the acoustic environments and the equipment used in each, it's not as easy as it sounds. Today's computer-based recordings have to sound great in even more situations, such as MP3 players, podcasts and other bass-challenged systems - so experiencing your mix through as many speaker systems as possible is more essential than ever. The ultra-convenient CONTROL2USB lets you switch between up to 3 pairs of studio monitors; add or remove a subwoofer; listen through vintage-style small monitors (such as their C50A) or any other combination - at the mere press of a button!
