  BCD2000

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for expressing your confidence in us by purchasing

the B-CONTROL BCD2000. The BCD2000 features a full-speed

USB  4-channel  audio  interface  plus  high-resolution  24-bit  A/D

and  D/A  converters.  It  perfectly  complements  the  included

BEHRINGER B-DJ software or any other DJ software. And don’t

let  the  cutesy  looks  fool  you:  this  is  an  integrated,  full-fledged

audio mixer with a premium quality mic preamp, 3-band kill EQ

per channel, ultra-precise faders, super-smooth crossfader and

talkover function.
The  BCD2000  is  packed  with  2  state-of-the-art  phono  pre-

amplifiers,  one  of  which  is  switchable  to  a  CD  player.  Its

sophisticated headphone section includes PFL Mix, Split options

and direct listening to master output mix. Play, Pause, Cue, Loop

and Pitch Bend functions are regulated via dedicated controls for

intuitive Djing, and 4 user-assignable controls and buttons are

available  for  an  integrated  FX  section.  Take  advantage  of  the

enormous  processing  power  of  modern  PCs  and  mix,  scratch

and  manipulate  digital  music  in  real  time—regardless  of  the

format!
