Behringer Slashes Synth Prices Up To 50%

Behringer has slashed prices on many of its synths and Eurorack modules, with prices cut as much as 50%.

The price cuts include most of their ‘knockoff’ style modules and makes their pricing more aggressive than ever, including both keyboards like the Behringer MonoPoly; synth modules like the Behringer Solina String Ensemble; standalone synths like the Behringer Crave; and their Euro-format copies of classic Moog, ARP & Roland synth modules.

In many cases, Behringer’s current prices are now cheaper than used prices for their gear.

Price drops include:

  • Behringer MS-5  – price cut $80
  • Behringer Pro-800 – price cut $60
  • Behringer Poly-D – price cut $30
  • Behringer 2600 – price cut $80
  • Behringer 2600 Limited Edition – price cut $150
  • Behringer D – price cut $70
  • Behringer Brains – price  cut $70
  • Behringer 904B Voltage Controller High Pass Filter – price cut $50

You can see the new pricing in place at Sweetwater. Some of the price cuts are showing up at Amazon, but not all yet.

  1. Nice to see price drops, but also kind of sucks for the people that bought Behringer synths at the original prices. Brains is now half what I paid for it earlier this year. 🙁

    2. Yep, wouldn’t have minded paying $80 less for the MS-5 that just arrived from Sweetwater but it’s such a lovely piece of gear that I can’t be too upset.

    3. An item has the value of the moment when you absolutely need it. Absurdly, if you really want to save money, wait five to eight years after market launch… but that makes absolutely no sense.

    4. I have bought behringer synths at full price, idk I got use out of them and they all still work! I don’t feel bad at all, I’m stoked people are getting better deals and tempted myself to buy moar even though I don’t need it lol

    2. Some of the prices are too good to ignore.

      I’ve been thinking about building a BARP 2500 system, and the modules are now ridiculously cheap.

    5. But you will click on, and presumably read, an article that’s clearly about the sale prices of synths with that name on it. And then take the time to comment on it.
      Okay then.

      1. Yeah but my Beheringertopia comment was pretty funny. Also you can change your screen name to Beheringerhead. See now that’s pretty hilarious

  4. Must be nice to not have to invest ( nor recoup) the money and time needed to actually design one of these synths

    1. Not a fan of the person at the top of the Behringer tree to say the least, but it’s clear that there are people who’ve put a lot of time, effort and care into these reproductions. The design was there, but that doesn’t necessarily make recreating a 1970s synth free of any costs or work. The only two of their more expensive offerings I’ve been able to afford are a secondhand Blue Marvin from Reverb (thanks to the seller Mr Jeff Mills from Florida – didn’t ask) and the new MS-5. Both have been a revelation, and never in a million years would I have had the chance to have any direct experience of how an ARP 2600 or Roland SH-5 worked (regardless of how close the sound is). For a young person to be able to get some experience of an ARP 2600 design for just over 400 bucks – that’s just crazy great to me. Much as I might wish it was coming from a company with less problematic history and leadership.

    2. oh, yeah. it’s *so* hard to cobble together something from app notes, junk you”ve done before, the vendors engineers input, and the ideas you stole from the guy that comes around to screw off, and you’re golden. copying it waaaay easier. guess you’ve never worked with real designers huh?

  5. The CAT increase $20 and the Wasp increase $30.

    Looking at their Sweetwater page, it looks like a lot more went up then dropped and they just hide it behind a headline.

  7. None of this seems to be going on outside the US

    But hey what does that matter. Sure isn’t the US like the only country in the world?
