Did you know that Midas is one of the most recognized brands used by audio professionals around the world? Now you can get the gear the pros use! The STUDIO XL comes with two state-of-the-art Midas microphone preamplifiers with +48 V phantom power, ultra-low noise, high gain, and audiophile quality.  The STUDIO XL is the ideal solution for home or professional studios, or as part of a larger setup. Premium, ultra-low noise components and high headroom lets your music shine at its best – this is especially true for one of the most critical sources: Vocals!    Crystal Clear Signal Path at 192 kHz The STUDIO XL is more than just a monitor controller – we added one of the best USB audio interfaces with the highest possible resolution and lowest latency. Full 192 kHz sampling rate at a clear 24-bit resolution will make you smile listening to the crisp and astonishing sound you’ll get.  With the STUDIO XL, you won’t have to worry about any USB noise or hum. A super-quiet USB I/O with up to 8 dB less noise than other audio interfaces on the market, while the lower output impedance on the STUDIO XL allows for even higher output volume.    VCA-Control – Not Just a Volume Knob Unlike the typical and inexpensive potentiometers used by our competitors, the STUDIO XL utilizes high-end Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) technology. While conventional monitor controllers directly pass the signal through the volume potentiometer, the STUDIO XL controls a separate high-precision amplifier circuit that drives the volume change. This gives perfect stereo and phase coherency, precision level adjustment, accurate sound and no quality degradation over time.  Our big dial allows you to make precise adjustments with ease and set levels fast and accurately – critical to the final sound when it comes to mixing and mastering.   The All-In Device The STUDIO XL integrates seamlessly into your existing setup. You can even make it the centre piece of your studio. Thanks to the built-in audio interface and Midas microphone pre-amps it becomes an all-in-one recording solution, just add your computer and you’re ready to go.  Instantly switch between audio sources, USB and monitor outputs. The large volume knob makes it easy to dial-in the perfect level every time, without having to reach for your mixer – or your mouse. Now you can create powerful, custom monitor mixes. Plus, the built-in Talkback mic lets you communicate directly with the talent.   More Monitor Options Today’s recordings must sound great everywhere: in the car, at home, on your cell phone, soundbar, Bluetooth speakers and in the club – It’s essential experience your mix through as many speaker systems as possible.  The ultra-convenient STUDIO XL lets you switch between 3 independent pairs of studio monitors – each with individual level adjustments. Listen through studio monitors (such as Behringer B2031A, MS16 or Tannoy GOLD 5), or any other combination – at the mere press of a button! Connections Matter The STUDIO XL comes with three pairs of input connectors, additional Aux Mix stereo input, and a 3.5 mm (1/8”) stereo input on the front for connecting a smartphone or music player, as well as three pairs of high-quality outputs to connect your favourite monitor speakers.   The first 2 inputs can be fed by a line source or any type of microphone, in any combination – operating in dual mono or stereo-link mode. Not to mention the 2-Track and Studio/Phones Amp outputs which can be used for a variety of applications. Connect a 2-track digital recorder, an additional soundcard, mixer, headphones distribution amplifier or whatever you require.

   MONITOR2USB When it’s time to get down to the business of recording or mixing, you want the ultimate sound quality from your monitoring system – and the last thing you’ll want is to crawl around under your desk running cables. The MONITOR2USB gets you off your knees and puts VCA-controlled Volume, Source selection, Phones and Monitor control right at your fingertips. With the incredible MONITOR2USB you can select from 3 sets of active studio monitors, 2 different stereo sources, plus a USB input for your DAW – to create powerful, custom monitor mixes – all in pristine, audiophile-grade sound quality.   Voltage Controlled Amplifiers While MONITOR2USB’s Volume control is mechanically similar to an analog control, its use of Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCA) provides several major benefits. First, since a DC current flows through the volume control (instead of the audio signal) there is no degradation in sound quality, and none of the pops and crackles typically produced by an audio-taper volume control. That current is what actually controls the levels of the separate left and right amplifiers. Second, both the left and right channels remain proportionately accurate to their input levels. Third, better left/right channel separation is maintained, because there are no audio signals present at the volume control. And finally, you get amazingly precise and repeatable level settings you can count on.   Sometimes Bigger is Better! Small knobs make for low precision. Conversely, the bigger the knob is, the higher the precision. Think of a control knob as a circle. On a small circle/knob the distance from one degree to the next is very small, making it difficult to dial-in perfection. On our really big knob, the distance between degrees of the circle is much larger, allowing you to make high-precision adjustments with ease. The MONITOR2USB lets you set levels fast and accurately, which is of utmost importance when it comes to your mastering projects.   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 – no additional hardware 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. MONITOR2USB lets you switch between up 2 pairs of studio monitors, listen through vintage-style small monitors (such as our C5A or C50A), add a subwoofer – or any combination at the mere press of a button.   We Value Your Input We gave the MONITOR2USB enough connectivity to handle just about anything you’re likely to plug in. Input 1’s balanced XLR sockets allow you to connect your mixer’s output, while Input 2’s XLR sockets accept a wide range of line level devices, including CD and DVD players. Plus, you can connect directly to your computer via USB to monitor your DAW, or playback other computer-based music files, such as backing tracks, mp3s, etc.   All-Access Backstage Pass MONITOR2USB’s rear panel provides connectivity for: 2 separate stereo source XLR Inputs (one with a +4 dBu/-10 dBV switch for line level devices); 2 separate stereo XLR Monitor Outs, plus an additional mono XLR Out; and a USB socket for your computer.   Phone Home Listening to live studio monitors is not always an option when you’re mixing at home, so we gave the MONITOR2USB twin high-grade headphone amplifiers with separate volume controls. We also equipped the headphone section with an amazing Crossfeed control that emulates the stereo speaker panorama. This enables you create an open, natural sounding listening environment that is more true-to-life and not ear fatiguing – even during long mixdown sessions.   Sound Quality and Value We designed the MONITOR2USB to provide many years of super-clean, high-fidelity performance in the most critical listening environment – yours! With its wealth of I/O options and superb VCA-controlled audio, the MONITOR2USB has everything you need to make your next recording or mixing session – the best one yet!

The ultra-handy CONTROL2USB gets you off your knees, putting Master Volume, Talkback, Source selection, and Monitor control right at your fingertips. Now you can choose from up to 3 sets of active studio monitors and 4 different stereo input sources to create powerful, custom monitor mixes. Plus the built-in Talkback mic lets you communicate directly with the talent.   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. On a small circle/knob the distance from one degree to the next is very small, making it challenging to dial-in perfection. On our 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 our 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, our 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 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 our C5A or C50A), or any other combination – at the mere press of a button!   Behringer Values Your Input Behringer gave the CONTROL2USB enough connectivity to handle just about anything you’re likely to plugin. Four stereo inputs allow you to connect a CD player, MP3 player, computer/ DAW – and even a turntable, thanks to the built-in high-end RIAA preamp. Plus you can connect keyboards, drum machines, or anything else you’d like to put through your monitors.   All-Access Backstage Pass The rear panel of the CONTROL2USB provides 3 separate Monitor Outputs with individual Level controls; a computer/DAW stereo Output; 2-Track A and B stereo Outs with Level switches; a Studio Out with Level and Phones Out with Level switch. Inputs include: Channels 1 & 2 stereo Source Inputs with independent Level controls; a computer/DAW Mix Input with Level control, with one selectable as a Phono Input for your turntable. There’s even a footswitch jack so you can activate the built-in Talkback mic, without taking your hands off the mix. You get all this I/O capability – plus USB connectivity.   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.   Sound Quality and Value Behringer designed the CONTROL2USB to provide many years of super-clean, high-fidelity performance in the most critical listening environment – yours! To that end, they only use the finest components, connectors, and state-of-the-art surface-mount manufacturing technology to build each one. They test, and then re-test every single CONTROL2USB.
