Behringer's First 2600 Synthesizers Are Tested, Boxed & Ready!

There's plenty of buzz around many of the Behringer recreation synthesizers... and the ARP2600 in particular has seen a great deal of the synth community eagerly awaiting its release.

They are here. They are coming. Behringer's recreation of the ARP2600 is closer to being in your studio than ever... and here's the photos to prove it!

Behringer officially announced their 2600 back in June 2019. So yes, we're eager to get hands on with their recreation of the ARP 2600...

Here's what Behringer have told us:

"As you can see, every unit goes through a highly automated and stringent alignment and testing procedure - all based on cutting edge Audio Precision test equipment.

"We're currently calculating the actual manufacturing cost. Unlike most competitors, we're pricing the retail price of our products "bottom up", which means we just add a small margin on top of the actual cost, instead of charging you what we believe you would be willing to pay for. This has been Uli's philosophy for more than 30 years and this will never change.

"We're confident that we can soon announce the price, which will be very exciting.
Thanks for all your patience and support. You guys are the best and the reason why we do what we do!"
