Behringer XENYX CONTROL1USB Studio Control and Communication Center

Product Description

When it's time to get down to the business of recording or mixing, the last thing you'll want to do is crawl under your desk and run cables. The Behringer Xenyx Control1USB 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 three sets of active studio monitors and four different stereo input sources to create powerful, custom monitor mixes. Plus the built-in Talkback mic lets you communicate directly with the talent. The Xenyx CONTROL1USB puts you in complete control.

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 this really big knob, the distance between degrees of the circle is much larger, allowing you to make high-precision adjustments with ease. Control1USB helps you set levels fast and accurately when it comes to your mastering project.

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. Control1USB lets you switch between up to three pairs of studio monitors, add a subwoofer, listen through vintage-style small monitors (such as Behringer's C5A or C50A), or any other combination at the mere press of a button.

Behringer Values Your Input

Behringer gave the Control1USB enough connectivity to handle just about anything you're likely to plug in. 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

Control1USB's rear panel provides three 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; Phones Out with Level switch; 4 Stereo Source Ins with Level control; a computer/DAW Mix Input with Level control, with one selectable as a Phono Input for your turntable. You get all this I/O capability plus USB connectivity.

Let's Communicate

No need for a clunky desk stand and an external mic to talk to the guys in the isolation booth. CONTROL1USB'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 headphones with individual level controls, which should make the next session one of your best.
