## Description

BEHRINGER MONITOR1 Premium Passive Stereo Monitor and Volume Controller with Large Volume knob for extremely precise level adjustments

Review: It's a big volume knob - So, like an idiot, I racked up all my gear next to my desk. Doesn't seem like a bad idea, right? Well... not until I mention that I mounted the rack on the wall to the right of the desk, and my interface (Focusrite Scarlett 18i20) has the monitor volume control knob on the right side of the front panel. So now that knob is a solid 5 FEET away from where I'm sitting. I'm WAY too lazy to roll my chair over that far every time I want to adjust the volume. So first I checked to see if that knob (or any of the assignable outputs) could be mapped to either my MIDI keyboard or something USB. Focusrite says no... so here we are. Now I have a big-ass knob right there on my desk next to my headphone amp, easily within reach whenever I want it. Combo TRS/XLR INs, a 1/8" stereo IN, and XLR OUTs. Mono summing, Mute, and the main feature. It's exactly what it needs to be. Clean, quiet, passive, simple. For the price (~$50 at the time of this review) it's hard to argue with. The best part is that it does its job well enough that it escapes my notice most of the time... I just reach for the knob and it does the thing. Problem solved.
Review: Great knob, gets the job done - Not a lot to say about this knob. Well, maybe a few things! The knob is great and feels smooth when making adjustments, the mono and mute buttons work as expected. The only thing I didn't like is that the unit sits flat on my desk so it's hard to see where the dial is at. I bought the PONICOR Zinc Alloy Computer Keyboard Stand and they look like they came with the unit. Really happy with the way its setup and working.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it let phantom power pass through? I.e. if its outputs are connected to a source that provides phantom power, would the inputs transmit it?**
A: Don't know but I assume with the XLR it is a straight passthrough so it will likely work.

**Q: how does this compare to the mackie big knob?**
A: I think it's better than the Big Knob. It's much more compact than the BK. The BK I tried definitely added some distortion to the audio. The BM1 is completely transparent.

**Q: can you use this to split a signal? 1 xlr in and 2 xlr out in mono?**
A: Not the intended purpose but should work.  The two channels are summed in mono mode and output on both L+R outputs.

**Q: Hi is this one better than the tc electronic level pilot? i have a lot of noise in that pod.**
A: Hi , dont know about the tc electronic leve pilot, but this behringer has worked perfectly for me, excellent clear sound and greati big knob for control

*by C***A on May 17, 2018*

I had been looking for a passive volume control for my studio monitors (JBL LSR305's). I had been considering about purchasing the Mackie Big Knob (heh) but didn't really like the look of it and I have a thing for buttery smooth knobs, which I read this one was from another user review. I can now say after owning this for a few weeks that it is definitely buttery smooth and works great. I have the audio running in from my pc, out to a MiniDSP 2x4, and then into my monitors. This works great and is just so silky smooth to boot. It feels solidly constructed and hasn't given me any issues up to this point. I can't really find any reason to take any stars off of this review but will update if anything changes. I haven't seen many reviews out there for this on other websites so I felt like it was important that I leave some feedback which I normally don't do. If you're looking for an affordable, well built, decent looking, smooth passive potentiometer, this may be the one for you.
