Introducing Behringer 369 - Vintage Stereo Compressor Limiter

[@audreyazwell]

I can't properly express with words how happy/excited I am for this - I'm buying this day 1, I've wanted something like this for years now. Behringer is now synonymous with "Game Changer", thank you for making things like this tangible for people like myself with deep ambitions but not deep pockets.

[@CFASound]

It`s just amazing, how Behringer got this balance between sound quality and pricing for the people... makes the world of music so much more inviting for many...

[@BeatsByGemsmiff]

I love how they didnt mention the compressor its inspired by😂😂 Clever, but if you know you know.I Love Behringer.

[@skriptico]

game changer because also people like me can semi-afford stuff like this. seen in that way i may agree.

[@WestonStephens]

Built on the backs and IP of other companies

[@precursor4263]

Hope you bought it it's already sold out flat lol

[@DJ_PROMO_PR]

FINALLY! Can't wait for more outboard gear from Behringer. Now us mortals can for once AFFORD this type of stuff.

[@nbl95]

So smart of Behringer to get into this space of affordable vintage clones. This is exactly what we want! Thanks!

[@ErikAnders]

It’s amazing how far this brand has come.

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

Vintage Classic Repros of Comps, MIC PREAMPS, Limiters, and EQs are what we want!!!!

[@chinmeysway]

there’s tons of that already. why not care more about the evolution of new innovative ideas and designs?

[@decaystar]

Interesting new direction, more high-end recording and mastering gear is for sure on demand!

[@20Lukas93]

def not mastering gear. plugins have come such a long way. To justify analog gear, it must be of stellar quality to outweigh the cumbersome workflow. what can this paritcular unit, that a plugin can't do? with vacuvox, massive passive and the likes, it's a different story! Great for live sound and probably tracking or mixing though!

[@Nooely]

⁠@@20Lukas93definitely mixing gear, surely also usable for mastering. The difference is hard to explain, but I’ve worked over 20 years with plugins and since around 7 years with real outboard gear, the latter is sounding better, more reliable and eliminates using 100 different compressors

[@decaystar]

@@20Lukas93 I honestly dont [often] see many artist carry a Neve compressor around for live performance...

[@K_514]

We definetly need more of these kinds of products, there are alot of us who are willing to spend more for quality parts and haptics.

[@ballefranz7059]

not that ear/triangle. 😬

[@DubMasterSFX]

This is so exciting, Behringer! Imagine if all your outboard gear had digital recall capabilities from a DAW. You could load a Behringer VST plugin to control all your outboard gear within one interface, with settings saved alongside the project! Then it would be possible to add large amounts of outboard gear, making switching between projects as seamless as using software plugins. For those who don't need this feature - the gear would still function just like the original analog equipment. Give me a thumbs up if you want this feature!

[@ToniJXN]

Yeah likea wes audio or bettermaker. But this would make the product more expensive

[@djriches1]

You would need servo's for getting the dials back in place. Otherwise you need digital filters that are able to set it's position digitally, and we don't want that.

[@ABouchez]

@@djriches1 No need for servos. Most of the dials are just switching some resistors. They could just put a the dial in a "digital" = neutral position, then command a resistor value from the digital signal. It could have the benefit to override the digital value live with the dial, if needed.

[@OneManMutiny]

Behringer continuing to kill it, say what you want but they’re getting this stuff into the hands of everyday regular people and have the integrity to not make junk! Their synths are awesome, the XR18 is amazing as a home studio interface, XTouch and Xtender are amazing tools for tracking and mixing. More hardware recording stuff is a for sure buy from me!

[@rafael_sampaio]

"We can really hear the impact this had on the mix" as he speaks right over the A/B... Looks great though, can't wait to actually hear some proper audio examples.

[@MattnUska]

From what little I could hear of the mix it just made it muddy. Might be the reason he talked over the whole demo. I’m not saying I think the compressor is bad. Just might be the audio they fed into it.

[@PietroTaucher]

bought 10 secs after I saw the post on Facebook, I was waiting for something like this since so many years. Behringer is raising up the level of the competition now. Historical pieces of gear + hi-quality building capabilities=affordable price And the winner is... (guess who?) all the musicians!!! Thank you Uli, youre making dreams come to life.

[@GrumpyGr3g]

These clicks on knobs seems to feel solid and well built ! Would have love to hear more of the sound, but seems like a great unit and affordable for most of home studio or incoming pro studios. Well done !

[@Zenvo-uu9tm]

I second everyone asking for more gear like this beauty. Sounding good from the video so far. Congratulations on the release

[@StudioFanThess]

I bought it 2 days ago. It took me a long time to understand the way the limiter-compressor chain works. While in the video it says that the signal first goes through the limiter and then through the compressor, I can confirm that the opposite happens. You immediately understand this if you increase the gain from the compressor. You can hear the limiter holding back the power of the gain and not listening to the music any louder. We also need to make it clear that the threshold (limiter or compressor) starts to press turning the button from right to left. Basic: The limiter is affected by the gain of the compressor. The more gain from the compressor, the more gain reduction from the limiter. As for the threshold & gain knobs, I'm still putting ointment on my fingers that blistered from trying to turn the knobs. The sound is clean and quite aggressive for my taste (I'm more of avalon's sound fan) but with a little more time you can find what you want. I think it will suit me better in drums bus and maybe in mastering with the aim of using the limiter. I hope I helped.

[@ivanstegachev]

So finally now what was done to synth area will be done for mixing/tracking too. Were waiting for this for years.

[@stiptreezy8481]

I didn't want this to sound so good xD alas i will be adding it to the list

[@DynamicRockers]

I was looking for the next klark technik clone and here it is, but with the Behringer label. That's a bit strange marketing-wise but anyway, I'm very excited about testing it asap!

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

Gear Horders are pissed : because we can now own (afford) some sweet Behringer recreations Never Stop !

🎉🎉 I’ve had the umc 1820 for years, favorite interface and gear company. Many people wouldn’t have access if not for behringer . 🙏🏾

[@jaredstanfield267]

Love this! I’d love to see a master bus channel a la SSL MBT as well as channel strip with saturation, eq, compression. But this is a huge step in the right direction!

[@Jar-N2]

Excited to see if this is just the first in a new line of pro audio rack gear from Behringer x Klark Teknik. Would love to see an extensive catalog of classic compressors, limiters, preamps, EQs, and so on for a decent price at these lower than DIY prices going forward. Applying the same formula as the synth line-up to all the big pro audio classics.

[@louislambrecht160]

warm audio?

[@Jar-N2]

@louislambrecht160 yeah, warm's great, just want to see how low is feasibly possible on some of the overlap products, where I'd be buying it as a mostly complete "kit" and replacing select critical components with the good stuff down the line if need be. There's a lot out there that warm hasn't hit yet, there's a DIY for just about nearly everything, but always love to see mass production.

@sound. Behringer has already done the LA2a under it's Klark brand name the 2a-KT. Not quite as low a price as your hope but at around $379 USD pretty close. Klark also makes an 1176 and a Pultec eq.

The fact this is under Behringer not abusing the Klark Teknik name, is hoping that itll be good and maybe we have hope that Behringer can make decent versions of vintage stuff.

How is the quality of those switches? If you flick them constantly when working on a mix or recording, will they break after a while and is it possible to repair or replace them easily?

[@morbidmanmusic]

Yes, they may break, and yes they can be replaced. They are a standard switch. BUT, they will be the last to break. The pots will get scratchy first.
