The Behringer Monitor2USB is a monitor controller and USB audio interface designed for home and project studios. It pairs a large VCA control knob for your overall output level with the ability to select among three sets of active studio monitors, as well as two sets of headphones. With its USB jack, you can connect your computer straight to the device so that you may play music from your digital library, or you can mix straight from your DAW. Through its XLR inputs, you can route analog sound, balanced or unbalanced.
The VCA amplifier provides several benefits. For example, it allows DC current to flow through the volume control, rather than the audio signal, and thus, bypasses any DC-related signal degradation. This also helps in making sure your stereo image doesn’t drift as you crank the volume knob; anyone who’s experienced in monitor controllers knows this can be a problem—a problem mitigated in the Monitor2USB. The volume knob itself is quite large, and this too serves a function: Such a large size allows for more precision as you turn the control, so you can achieve minutely specific level adjustments, which might be necessary as you switch from monitoring post-production projects to music mixes.
You can use its three sets of outputs in a variety of ways—for instance, you can hook up two monitors and a subwoofer, or three sets of monitors, one of which can serve as your dedicated mono check. On the headphone outputs, a crossfeed control mimics the stereo experience of sitting in front of your speakers by feeding a miniscule amount of signal from the right to the left and vice versa. Amongst other benefits, this feature helps mitigate ear fatigue over long sessions. Mono and Dim buttons are on hand to help you in the mixing process. Included with the Monitor2USB are a power cable and a full, complimentary copy of Tracktion—a DAW to help you in your recording, editing, and mixing journeys.

MoCo is a fully passive monitor controller that helps you to provide perfect control over the playback volume of your studio monitors.
\"Fully passive\" means that there are no active components involved, that could in any way alter the audio signal - keeping the maximum sound quality level for your studio monitors. MoCo provides two separate stereo inputs (one with balanced 1/4\" TRS connectors, one with both unbalanced RCA and unbalanced 1/8\" TRS connectors) and two separate stereo outputs (one with balanced XLR connectors, one with balanced / unbalanced 1/4\" TRS plus unbalanced 1/8\" TRS connectors). MoCo does not change your signals from unbalanced to balanced: what goes in, goes out!
Via one switch you can select the input signal and with separate buttons, each output can be enabled. Also there is a switch that changes the monitor signal to mono and you can mute the playback audio signal quickly at the touch of a button. A quick swap of the left and right audio signal channels is also possible. And of course, the stylish big knob in the center of MoCo controls the actual playback volume.
Features
- 2x mono balanced 1/4\" TRS input (input A)
- 2x mono unbalanced RCA input (input B)
- 1x stereo unbalanced 1/8\" mini jack input (input B)
- 2x mono balanced XLR output (output A)
- 2x mono balanced / unbalanced 1/4\" TRS output (output B)
- 1x stereo unbalanced 1/8\" mini jack output (output B)
- selected high quality potentiometer for passive volume control
- A/B input selection switch
- L/R switch to swap left & right audio channels
- independent A and B buttons to enable and disable the outputs

1,512 kg | CMC2 - Compact Monitor Controller
COMPACT, ACCURATE & AFFORDABLE.
The CMC2 is a compact monitor controller that has been designed to provide the same top quality audio, transparency and accuracy of Drawmer's other monitor controllers, such as the MC2.1 and MC3.1, whilst retaining all the necessary features that the smaller project studio would require without the cost of the advanced features that would seldomly be used.
Can you trust the audio that your current monitor controller is providing? Is it colouring the sound? For all Drawmer monitor controllers it is imperative that what you record is exactly what you hear. The active circuit has been designed to faithfully produce the audio signal whilst removing many of the problems that a passive circuit will bring. There is one thing that should always be absolutely guaranteed - that you can rely on the accuracy of your monitor controller.
Accurate & Transparent
With the same Drawmer pedigree as the MC2.1, the CMC2 circuit is just as transparent and accurate. It's switches and paralleled custom-quad knobs have excellent channel matching, a smooth feel.
You hear exactly what you've recorded!
Multiple Connections
The CMC2 is very well connected: with 2 Stereo balanced jack inputs, plus a 3.5mm jack for your Smartphone/MP3 Player, with variable level control. It supports 2 sets of stereo monitors plus a sub-woofer, each with individual switches so you can activate them in any order, especially useful for A/B comparisons.
In addition, it has a professional quality headphone output with a separate amplifier and level control, that provide the same audio quality and mix checking as the CMC2 does through the speakers.
Key Mix check features such as Phase Reverse, Mono, Dim & Mute are also included, to enable you to examine the quality of your recordings with ease.
Compact
The CMC2 packs a lot of features into a small package. With a footprint of just 18x16cm and a very low profile the CMC2 won't hog your desk space like some other controllers do. And if your on the move it's small enough to pop into a bag to take anywhere.
Tough & Secure
Whilst being smart and stylish the rugged, all steel enclosure will withstand the knocks and bumps of the studio, and, coupled with the high quality components used, the CMC2 is built to last. In addition, a Kensington security slot provides protection from thieves.
