Behringer FX2000 3D FX Processor

The Behringer FX-2000 is an effect processor which – alongside conventional stereo effects – can modify sound in all three dimensions. Equipped with an extraordinary 71 algorithms, the FX-2000 offers a uniquely versatile palette of effects. Alongside reverb, this processor includes modulation effects like chorus, flanger, phaser, and pitch shift, dynamic processors like a compressor, a gate, an expander, and a de-esser, psychoacoustic effects like an exciter, an enhancer and a stereo imager, and finally an equaliser and distortion effects. Behringer's Real Sound Modelling technology simulates acoustic environments with the highest precision, and its special effects include a vocoder, a karaoke effect, and a resonator. Whether used in the studio or live, for music production or playing an instrument, the Behringer FX-2000 offers the right effect for every production or live performance.

Users can edit up to seven parameters of every algorithm for in-depth sound design. The adjusted settings can be saved to one of 100 memory locations, making the desired effect available in a matter of seconds – this is an invaluable tool for touring artists in particular, as the same effect can be easily applied again and again. Simply by pressing the Effect button, users can choose one of 71 algorithms via the jog wheel. An LED display shows the name of the selected effect, as well as the value of the editable parameters, which is done via the four encoders. The centrally mounted green LED shows which parameter is currently being edited. With these four encoders, users can also make other settings, such as adjusting MIDI data or the input and output signal.

The Behringer FX-2000 will prove its worth in the studio and on stage, thanks to its great variety of effects and its versatile integration into different setups. On the rear panel, users find two inputs and outputs each, with XLR and 6.3mm cinch connections. The input level for each channel can be adjusted to -10dB or +4dBu at the touch of a button. MIDI-In, MIDI-Out, and MIDI-Thru jacks enable comprehensive MIDI integration. The Behringer FX-2000 can also be used in combination with a rack for electric guitars, connecting the audio inputs and outputs with an amp's send and return. Programme and control changes can be made via MIDI using a pedal (sold separately) or an external sequencer. Users can also use MIDI to save data from the Behringer FX-2000 via SysEx.
