Behringer Control2USB Reviews

Great product

Works very well for what I'm using it for, i.e. controlling the output volume to my studio monitors and headphones.

I really like the Mute-button which lets you mute the speakers fast and easy without having to turn the big volume wheel.

I also the two headphone-jacks on the front, which enables me to always have both my headphones connected, which makes for fast and easy changing when I want to hear stuff on different headphones etc.

The only negative thing is that it's quite large compared to other similar products.

It simply does what it is meant to do and is easy to use and understand. It certainly speeded up my workflow a bit compared to when I used a small Behringer xenyx-mixer. not only is it easier to use but it also makes for a more tidy look one your desk.

Nice piece of hardware

It does everything it promises. The big knob feels good, although its a step knob, so the response is not linear. Most of the time I use it with DIM on, so the knob will offer more steps in a less wider Volume range.

I have an Apollo Twin side by side with this, and I never touch the interface, I control the monitoring only with the Behringer.

Very cool piece of gear

Solid looking controller. I use inputs to connect my mixing console, usb interface, music from audio cable and music from my denon CD player. I can switch between 3pairs of monitors. Now I use 2pairs. One pair are studio monitor and second pair are from hi fi aiwa system. You can choose which input and output will be activated in the moment. Very fine are 2outputs for headphones on front panel. I have 2 pair of studio headphones:) This stuff have output for studio "room". I connect in to this hole my behringer ma400 headphones amp, which is next by my drums. And I like mic in this stuff. Perfect for two and more room studios. You only hold this knob and speaking.

Very useful stuff. Big volume knob with led light. Separate volume for everything. Intuitive switching between inputs and outputs. Plus you can connect this unit via usb cable to the computer. I recommended this.

Good monitor controller

Overall the controller is really good. Especially for the money.

But:

1. Behringer PLEASE add any mark on the volume wheel! Without it you just cant see what level is it now

2. Volume wheel is bad. It starts to creak and squeak after few days

It's nice for Hifi/playback

the audio interface that is built-in isnt not going to be that good for music production or recording, mainly due to the 16-bit processing instead of 24 bit.

I am not using it as a soundcard, instead, I use it as a controller for my speakers.

overall it's aight, I'ts looks nice and feels smooth, not too bad.

it has everything it says it does, no problems there.

great unit

this is a great unit for the price

Perfect solution!

I believe this is one of the best hybrid devices on the market at this point.

Layout is simple and user-friendly with the big volume knob taking the most attention, which is great!

The fact that it can add up channels to my studio is a great addition which I already tried and it does a great job!

I wish the light indicator surrounding the big knob (which is always on) would be interactive with the knob movement which would ultimately make a better awareness of the sound level.

Pros: Affordable price, great design, user-friendly layout, bundled with great additions/functions (like USB connectivity which can be used as a stand-alone sound interface, or an addition of inputs in my case)

Cons: Big knob indicator (which is on the side of the knob, therefore not visible from all the angles), sound processing which is slightly influenced.

I would highly recommend this product!
