Allen & Heath Xone 32

I liked this mixer since I've got nothing to do with mixing hip-hop and turn tablism, so I don't really use the x-fader. But placing the channel gains and the phono / line switches on the back side is a horrible idea and I just can't get use to it. I really miss the option to adjust the up fader curve. Instead of the filter effect I'd welcome some "regular" ones like echo, delay and flanger. Regardless of the build and the sound quality I'm selling it out and looking for some more everyday mixer as Pio 600, Denon x1500, Ecler nuo4 or Korg 404.Other bad point: impossible to sell out.

The Allen & Heath Range are widley regarded with Kudos on awe across the DJing world, the Xone 32 then should be a good choice for an intermediate dj, it has a nice little effects unit and its built tuffer than a tank.

Many poeple will recomend this range, and most of them will be quite right, but for two important points,

1. The Crossfader is really NOT for scratchig

2. Where you would expect to find the master gains there are a set of pretty redundant aux controlls, the master gain are on the back side of the mixer.

Now if your a Dj whos into smooth mixing and like the sound of highpass/lowpass style fx this mixer is most certianly for oyu and it will do everything you want it to do, and it will do it very well, and you will never regret buying this mixer.

However if you like hiphop and/or enjoy cutting beats and turnatble tricks with batte weapons this mixer will do you no favours, there is a big difference between a curve adjust and a shape adjust on a cross fader, and the cross fader its self isnt very sharp or nimble nor are the channel controlls are a bit flat.

If your looking for a good 3 channel scratching mixer go for the ecler nuo 3 if you were planning to buy one of these, you should still have enough left overto buy the eternal cross fader to go with it :)
