For that price I’ll get one to double the voices on my actual Moog.
Wonder if their other rack synths will begin dropping in price as chips become more available. For a hot moment I was thinking I could nab a Crave for close to $100, but that didn’t happen.
Strange that a more niche synth like Toro is at the front of the line and Proton is still nowhere to be found! From what I can see Neutron was a big success for them so I would imagine the follow up would be too.
Wonder how it stacks up to the Minitaur.
Maybe we’ll see a Sirin type thing in the future. Or as Ive been hoping Moog does another production run of them. Prices on those have really shot up a bit.
We have already received over 50,000 orders from our super-partners since the official launch of the Pro-800.
This suggests how Behringer can have the prices they do. Combine their manufacturing capability, along with their strategy to profitability in calculating price and mark-up, as well as things along the way, as for instance their “super-partner” distribution system, means they sell in volume.
Lowering prices can actually mean increased profit, if you do the calculation and strategy correctly.
Absolutely correct. I’m just surprised they lowered it as much as they did. People were already preparing for $600+, and seemed comfortable with that price. They’re skipping a few common corporate economic practices, high MSRP to get those initial demands, then a steadily reduced price to coax those on the fences to purchase. Surprised they went straight to step 2.
Do you know how long the price has been known?
They definitely have lowered the price of a long list of their products over time.
We don’t know the future, they may eventually lower the price on the Pro-800 too. I expect they will.
I don’t think it’s so much a marketing scheme, more just the general trend in manufacture of increased efficiency over time. The profit calculation is basically the same, so if your costs go down, then so does the price. Why play games ?
