FINALLY! Behringer CMD Controllers Now Shipping

    At last year's NAMM 2012 show, the Behringer CMD DJ controller lineup was announced and expected to ship sometime within the year. Fast forward to this year's NAMM 2013 show and the Behringer CMD controller line still has not shipped! About two weeks ago, our dream became a reality as the CMD controllers finally shipped to retailers at the end of June. The CMD controllers will all come bundled with the new Decadance 2 LE DJ software included inside the box and they are very affordable and modular to suit just about every DJ's needs. Check out the complete lineup rundown after the jump.

    Behringer NOX Mixers Announced

    I'll be the first to admit that I was never really a fan of Behringer products. For most of my past 18-year DJ experience, I have come to learn that Behringer products were often priced well, but the quality also suffered from this pricing model. For the past few years, Behringer has been (successfully) trying to change their image as they have been starting to come out with some higher quality products with innovative features as well. Behringer has just announced its NOX mixer line that all come with VCA "contact-free" crossfaders, effects, and USB connectivity for track playback. Check inside for the press release and details.
