...This in an overview of my experiences with the Xone:62. It is not an in-depth look at the units specifications because this 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 for a Xone:62 because of the fact that it has three extra channels.
Pro's
Firstly, and probably most importantly, the sound that this unit produces is without doubt better than any of the Pioneer series (DJM 600 & 500), and the Ecler series (Nuo 4 & 5...

Advantages: Sound quality, build Disadvantages: Channel gains on the back of the unit, only 3 channels
...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 DJM-500 and DJM-600. But if you only mix with two decks and an effects unit, or three decks, this arrangement works out great.
All in all, I would highly recommend this mixer above the Pioneer series, and also the Ecler Nuo series. I love its sound and build, and once you get used to the gains being on the back, you will not regret buying this product. I am currently saving for the Xone:62 by Allen & Heath, which is its bigger brother (instead of three channels it has six (four line, two mic). Both mixers are built the same, sound the same, and have the same VCF filter installed, so I am upgrading purely to gain more channels to be used...

Advantages: Ease of use, Durability, Great First Mixer Disadvantages: You will want to upgrade after time, cross fader wont last forever
...I bought this mixer as my first mixer after deciding to buy first decks and I think that it is good value for money. It is quite simplistic, but I realised quickly you don't need something fancy when you are just learning to beatmatch. It is simple but what it does, it does well. The USB function is a good feature you don't get in a lot of mixers in this price range, I havent yet used it to record a mix but from what i have read it isnt hard to do if you have the right program and is useful if you only have a laptop which only has a USB and not standard audio connection that you get on desktops and wanna record a mix.
I have had it a year now and am now looking to upgrade, but this only because my mixing has come on from what I have learnt from this mixer, and I want to add more to my mix with functions like kill switches, effects...
