Behringer BCD-3000

If you're thinking about buying this controller, look first if your store has stock of Behringer BCD-2000. Then buy the 2000, really. They are exactly the same device with the same features, but the model 3000 has some drawbacks:

  • Lower build quality. 
  • The wheels are tougher here. In the 2000 they are ideal for comfortable and dynamic handling.
  • The look is more "ugly" (gray controls on black case) while the 2000 is more "PRO" (black mate controls on dark metallic blue).

The above could be a matter of preferences, and perhaps the quality is only a defect in our unit. But what is really outrageous ...

  • PLAY and CUE positions have been exchanged! They have positioned PLAY at the left of CUE. For some inexplicable and incomprehensible reason, Behringer have decided to go against all "de-facto" DJ standard. This is equivalent to switching the positions of the accelerator and the brake pedals in a car.
