Behringer Drops Synth Prices Up To 60%, Citing Better Semiconductor Availability & Costs

Behringer today announced that they are dropping prices on many of their synths, with price reductions of up to 60%.

The company says it’s responding to improvements to the global supply chain issues that, over the last three years, have driven a production slowdown and price increases across the industry.

They note:

“As semiconductors become more available and prices come down, we’re able to ramp up production. In line with our promise to share our savings with you, we’re really excited to lower our pricing by up to 60%.”

Many of the price drops are small, like a $10 price cut on the $149 Brains module. But some of the price reductions are substantial, including:

    Behringer System 55 – $1400 price cut to $1,599
    Behringer System 35 – $1500 price cut to $999
    Behringer System 15 – $900 price cut to $799
    Behringer Poly D – $210 price cut to $599
    Behringer DeepMind 12 – $130 price cut to $799
    Behringer 2600 – $200 price cut to $499
    Behringer MonoPoly – $210 price cut to $599
    Behringer Wasp – $80 price cut to $149
    Behringer Cat – $150 price cut to $199
    Behringer TD-3 – $30 price cut to $129

In these instances, the price cuts are big enough that they will significantly disrupt the market for used Behringer synths. For example, every used Poly D on Reverb is currently priced substantially higher than the price to buy it new:

Behringer says that prices should be updated at their ‘Superpartner’ websites, including Amazon and others.

Interesting, I wonder what the effect will be on UK prices? 

My GAS is telling me I should buy a hardware synth. I always lusted after an Oddesy back in the 70s which was way, way out of my price range.

The price cuts are hitting Thomann now too. I got K-2 for €229. Others are discounted too.

Both Thomann UK and DV247 showing the Oddessy at £449. I am sure it was considerably more last time I looked.

I bought the Odessey from Gear4Music for £449. All the UK retailers showing the same price but I picked them on delivery time. Its a nice bit of kit, very solidly built and sounds great.
