Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Behringer 130 Dual VCA is a seriously clever module for the price. It's a fantastic way to experiment with dynamic processing and modulation in your modular system, especially for those just starting out or needing multiple VCAs on a budget. The flexible input mixing really lets you get creative with signal flow.
Product Description

Frequently Asked Questions
The signal path is functionally similar, but the Behringer lacks the pristine clarity and headroom of a higher-end module; expect a bit more coloration and potential for clipping at higher levels.
They are genuinely useful—they allow for precise control over the amount of CV signal affecting the gain, which is crucial for subtle modulation or aggressive shaping.
While primarily a VCA, the mixer functionality with three inputs per channel *does* allow for basic mixing of audio signals, though it's not its primary design function.
