Behringer Monitor1

Very useful tool, I use it daily. I have a computer screen and a PS4 and I often watch movies with that monitor, whenever the sound is a bit too low or too loud, it's so easy to just turn the knob. One of the best buys ever. I plan to use it later on for my music hobby

No fancy bells, just a solid piece of gear that gets the job done

Moved from a tc electronic Level Pilot to this. I had been searching for a competent volume controller that would not break the bank and came across this one. I have to say, reviews here helped a lot in the decision making. That being said, the unit is built like a tank, buttons for mute and mono have a smooth and satisfying click to them as well as being immensely helpful, especially the mono button that is right there in front of you to use. I have the unit for a few weeks now, I can't hear any distortion or coloration or any of the other issues people have noted with other, more expensive units. Let's see if it holds up over time. So far, so good. Behringer, chapeau!

Great quality inexpensive monitor controller

The monitor controller takes 2x XLR or Balanced Jacks in and 2x out. Ive had it for about 2 years now and it holds up great. The mute function is particularly helpful when I want to turn synths or phantom on and off to prevent pops and loud sounds. I use the volume control extensively and it's very smooth and easy to reset to any position due to the markers. It's entirely passive so no need to power it. It also has stereo 3.5mm I/O which I haven't used that is designed for monitors - Behringer support advised me that the signal is too hot for headphones although I suppose if you have high impedance cans it might be OK.

It's built of solid metal (including the dial and I think the buttons) and is extremely sturdy. To this day I have had no problems with the build quality and it looks as good as the day I got it with no scratches or paint rubbing off.

The mono function is a great addition for checking mixes esp. regarding phase. I'm now looking to get some more monitors so will probably have to upgrade to a controller with more outputs, but at the time I didn't need one. Even so I don't regret the purchase as it's a great price and compact enough to fit in my setup when it was much smaller.

Pretty good - but not perfect

the controller seems to be well built. Solid case, nice feeling knob. jacks and buttons feel solid as well. Most importantly, no apparent tone bleed. The one complaint I have with the one I received is that even at zero, the left channel still passes a small amount of audio signal. Some more detailed testing show that as volume levels increase, the imbalance in L/R signal remains - Though sound quality appears to be unaffected. Minor adjustments to the individual monitor levels and careful sound measurements at the listening position have proved to be an effective workaround.

Very good

Great finish, great feeling of the button. Mono and mute functions are great. Built quality is very good.

Only one flaw: the unit is too light, and this poses a problem when its close to the edge of the desk. Due to the weight of the cables hooked, the unit tends to lift up a bit from the front.

Would buy again.
