Critic Reviews

Behringer B-Control DeeJay BCD3000 review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Behringer BCD3000 is a solid improvement over its predecessor, offering an affordable entry-level DJing solution with Traktor LE software bundled in. While it boasts easy setup and better legibility in low-light situations, the build quality leaves something to be desired, and the jog wheels can be sticky. However, its enhanced software compatibility and audio performance make it a worthwhile upgrade, especially for beginners.
