Compact, Intuitive, and Perfect for Home Studios

Take control of your home studio setup with the Studio M Passive Controller from Behringer. A simplified version of their larger controllers like the Studio XL, the Studio M is perfect for commanding volume levels from any two audio sources or monitors in your studio. Two pairs of input and output connectors, in addition to an 1/8-inch stereo input, provide multiple connection opportunities that will fit right in with your setup. True to their more advanced models, Studio M is outfitted with a jumbo master-volume knob that offers fast and precise adjustments so that you can perfectly balance your sound. Thanks to Studio M’s passive circuitry, your audio is transferred with an ultra-pure signal path free of unwanted gain, buzz, or distortion. Home studio enthusiasts here at Sweetwater are fond of its intuitive layout as well, which provides Mono and Dim controls that flank the master mute with Source and Monitor selectors just beside them. The ergonomic, angled front face panel and the compact nature of Studio M make it a space-efficient addition to any studio desktop or console.

I can easily switch between monitors,attenuate, mute, go mono, or switch inputs. Oh yeah, also a volume control. Sounds great, built like a tank. You want one.

I order this as a replacement for the Mackie Big Knob who died on me. The Behringer it is bigger than the Mackie but it is lighter. I think in terms of the performance the Behringer has less buzzing noises and it is quieter in my humble opinion. The Behringer and the Mackie has 5 buttons to activate the Source, Mono,Mute button, Dim and Monitor selection and of course the Volume wheel which is way bigger in the behringer. So far I am very satisfied with the performance of the Behringer.

I needed a switch for my small home studio which allowed me to select between two inputs: my DAW and directly from my keyboard. The output goes to my monitors. This works perfectly for my application.

I played with the passive volume knob briefly (it works), but I don't really use that feature. And I do not split between multiple outputs, so I cannot comment on that functionality.

Solid construction, easy to set up and operate. It worked perfectly for my situation.

Bought this so I could switch the input source to my studio monitors from my desktop to laptop easily. Works great! The dedicated buttons to switch to mono, reduce the volume ("dim"), and mute are also great utilities. Also, having the big knob for volume control is awesome as my audio interface has small knobs.

Totally satisfied and would buy again, great product, great price.
