Behringer CONTROL2USB Studio Monitor Controller and Communication Center USB Audio Interface

Behringer CONTROL2USB Overview

All-in-One Control and Communication Center

Designed to streamline your recording and mixing workflow, the Behringer CONTROL2USB is an all-in-one, studio control center that places a large master-volume knob, source selector, monitor switcher, and talkback section in one place, all within easy reach. CONTROL2USB offers four stereo inputs with their own individual level controls and an additional monitor mix input for your DAW. You have three independent and adjustable monitor outputs, enabling you to effortlessly check your source music on three different sets of speakers. Convenient Dim, Mute, and Mono functions are right at your fingertips to reduce or cut volume, and to help you check for possible phase issues in your mono mix.

The large volume knob with true VCA control ensures extremely precise level adjustments, while the high-precision, dual 12-segment LED meters with input and output functionality allow you to visually monitor your audio signals. Whether you're monitoring with a set of headphones or a set of in-ears, there are two powerful amplifiers each with their own volume controls. Beyond its control functions, the CONTROL2USB also serves as a 2x2 USB audio interface, enabling seamless integration with your DAW. And if you're a DJ or you're digitizing vinyl, there's a built-in phono preamp for direct turntable connections.

Sometimes Bigger Is Better

• Small knobs lack precision but the bigger the knob, the better the level of precision. Think of a control knob as a circle.
• CONTROL2USB's big knob enables you to make minute adjustments fast and accurately, critical to the final sound when it comes to mastering an important project.

HIgh-Quality Sound with VCA Control

• Unlike the resistive faders used on standard controllers, the CONTROL2USB is equipped with Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) technology to provide the ultimate in precision level adjustment.
• The big 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 is perfect for computer-based studios.
• It 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.

Let's Communicate

• No need for a desk stand and an external mic to talk to the talent in the isolation booth. CONTROL2USB’s high-quality, built-in microphone is just a button push away, so you can save your mics for the drum kit.
• The onboard headphone amplifier section lets you connect 2 pairs of headphones with individual level controls, which should make the next session one of your best.

• The convenient CONTROL2USB lets you switch between up to 3 pairs of studio monitors, add or remove a subwoofer, listen through vintage-style small monitors, or any other combination—at the mere press of a button.
