Xone:32 Review

Advantages: Sound quality, build
Disadvantages: Channel gains on the back of the unit, only 3 channels

...is readily available from the Allen & heath website. I bought this mixer about a year or so ago and it has been a faithful companion to me since It arrived on my doorstep. I bought it for £427 from djstore.com. This review is a comparison between the major sub-£500 mixers available on the market. Pro's The reputation that this mixer has gained throughout the dj world is a story in itself and it was this which drew me to it in the first place. ...
...has always baffled me why Allen & Heath decided to put the line gain buttons on the back of the unit. The Aux buttons are found in the usual gain spot on the mixer. But saying this, once you get used to the location of the gain buttons (which does not take very long), mixing is effortless. It is just odd why they decided on this location in the first place. Apart from this, you only get three channels on the Xone:32 - which is one less than the Pioneer ...

Review of Allen & Heath Xone 32 Mixer

Allen & Heath Xone 62 Mixer

Advantages: Sound quality, build
Disadvantages: None

...is readily available from the Allen & Heath website. This review is a comparison between the Xone:62 and other sub-£800 mixers. Background I have never owned a Xone:62, but have had extensive use of one through four years of djing at club nights. I currently own the Xone:32 which is its little brother if you like - instead of having six channels it only has three. Apart from this characteristic, they are pretty much identical. I am currently saving ...
...why clubs have begun installing Allen & Heath mixers into their systems. The built in effects unit is also superb. The VCF filter is by far the best effect which has been included in any mixer over the past ten years. It makes the Pioneers built in effects unit look like a childs toy! The VCF filter is really easy to get used to, but very difficult to master which makes it challenging and a little different each time you use it. Normally mixers' ...

Review of Allen & Heath Xone 62 Mixer

A cheap mixer which is secretly a hidden gem.

Advantages: Light but durable, excellent sound for price, good looker and does the job!
Disadvantages: Will need an upgrade eventually.

...and was I impressed. The Behringer VMX 100 is just another one of the little beauty's that Behringer have been producing in recent times. Suited for beginners it produces excellent sound quality for something of it's price. I have had a lot of fun mixing with this piece of audio genius and would recommend it to beginners. A great buy, but once you start to realise your potential you will probably want a change. Some Behringer products such as this ...

Review of Behringer VMX100 Mixer

Good, solid beginner mixer

Advantages: Low/Mid/High Gain & Kill + Phono/Line Switching
Disadvantages: 2 channels, set-up can be challenging.

The DM-1002 MKII is a solid and good mixer for beginning DJ's. Everything from the stylish design, to the ease of use - is something that makes the mixer normally a join to use. Being able to output to master and record gives the mixer a helpful capability (with each output being able to be gain adjusted) The mixer has two switchable line in & phono inputs, master & record outputs and a helpful crossfader to fade between each channel helps the beginner ...
...controls. The ability to connect a 1/4 inch microphone (with volume and tone changers) as well as the ability to connect a 1/4 inch headphones (also with volume and tone changers) gives the DJ full flexabity connecting other equipment (such as mics and headphones you already have). I use this mixer to present live dance shows on an internet radio station, and have had very few issues with the general use of it. The only slight issue which I have ...

Review of Numark Mixer DM-1002 MK II

The best thing to happen to mixing since Technics made 1210s

Advantages: Bulletproof, Masses of features, Masses of fun, No carrying vinyl about
Disadvantages: Need the software running for the sampler to work. Takes a while to learn the button combinations

This is well worth the extra money. I have been mixing for nearly 15 years and this mixer has completely revitalized mixing. The possibilities are endless and you just don't have enough hands to make this thing do what is possible. You can do some reeeally nice things like setting up loops in real time while you're mixing, layer infinite tracks over each other, set looooads of cue points on every track and then there's the FX! A few flaws (in my ...
