Description
Behringer 2-XM Classic Analog Synth Expander Module
Dual-Voice ‘70s-Inspired Polyphonic Analog Synth with 4 VCOs, Multi-Mode Filters & Eurorack Integration
Vintage Polyphony Reborn — Classic ‘70s Analog Tone
The Behringer 2-XM is a faithful recreation of a legendary ’70s dual-voice polyphonic analog synthesiser, inspired by iconic circuitry used by pioneers like Vince Clarke, Jan Hammer, and Vangelis. Originally built from two single-voice modules combined into one polyphonic instrument, this design helped define early synth history.
The modern 2-XM retains that authentic character while adding MIDI, USB, stereo output, and extensive CV/GATE connectivity — making it equally at home in classic setups and modern modular systems.
