However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
The Behringer K-2 comes equipped with dual VCOs acting as the starting point for creating sounds. It also features a built-in ring modulator, external signal processor and 16-voice poly chain making it perfect for sound designers. The analog signal path is based on classic VCO, VCF and VCA designs, it feature four variable oscillator shapes for a versatile sound palette.
The K-2 Semi-Modular Synth features 36 controls in total, providing hands-on control for all parameters. It also features a first-generation filter design with high pass, low pass with peak and resonance controls. It also includes comprehensive USB/MIDI implementation, bringing this classic synth design into the modern era.

MS-20 style circuitry stays true to the original sound, with the Behringer K-2 bringing this classic synth into the modern era. The original synth was renowned for changing the synthesizer world. The award-winning semi-modular monophonic synth providing advanced way to create sounds and timbres at the time. Since then, it has held its notoriety throughout the years thanks to its analog circuitry and versatile parameters that make it so sought after.
The K-2 stays faithful to the original, retaining the same circuitry, versatile VCFs and powerful oscillators whilst introducing modern-day connectivity. With 36 controls in total, the Behringer K-2 provides a hands-on approach to sound design and tone-sculpting. It provides you with the means to create limitless sounds and even expand your sound design capabilities with external gear.
At the heart of the Behringer K-2 is a pure analog signal path. Great care has been taken to stay true to the original, keeping the same VCO VCF and VCA design with matched transistors and JFETs. This faithful recreation provides exceptional sound shaping options, allowing you to create everything from powerful basses to leads, pads and everything in between. You can then add texture by introducing the wide range of amazing effects, ranging from delays and reverbs to distortion.
The Voltage Controlled Oscillators deliver a wide variety of sounds from the four variable oscillator shapes. Each of the shapes has variable pulse widths and ring modulation for in-depth tone sculpting. The dual oscillators come complete with a VCO mixer, allowing you to control the volumes of VCO 1 and VCO 2 and even blend between the two for interesting sonic results.
The main core of the K-2 is spearheaded by the K-2s versatile 24 dB/octave filter, allowing you to switch between High and Low-Pass Cutoff frequencies, as well as their respective resonance settings. The high-pass filter allows you to set the levels of the signals below the cutoff frequency. This results in the reduction of fundamental and lower-order harmonic levels. The low-pass filter controls the volume of the signals above the cutoff, reducing high-end harmonic content. This can add texture and skew the way tones sound for in-depth control.
Accompanying the VCOs and VCFs are the dual envelope generators. The envelope generators provide further tone-sculpting capabilities by modulating your sound in various ways. The first generator affects the frequency modulation, providing controls for Delay, Attack and Release. The second envelope adjusts the cutoff frequency and amplitude modulation of the VCA. Controls for the second generator include Hold, Decay, Attack, Sustain and Release.
Although the K-2 is a monophonic instrument, the built-in 16-note Poly Chain functionality allows you to combined multiple synths for u up to 16-voice polyphony. This can be highly useful for live performances and experimenting with different sounds and gear.
The rugged yet compact design makes the synthesizer highly portable. It can easily blend in with the studio or on the road. One of the most versatile design aspects is the ability to transfer the K-2 into a standard Eurorack case. It also features MIDI and USB connectivity on the rear for use with computers and music production.
