Behringer Studio XL 2x4 USB Interface w/ Monitor Control & Midas Preamps

Did you know that Midas is one of the most recognised 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 +48V 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!

The STUDIO XL is more than just a monitor controller – Behringer 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.

Unlike the typical and inexpensive potentiometers used by our competitors, the STUDIO XL utilises 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. The really 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.
