Advantages: BPM counter, Bass/Mid/Treble cut out/volume controls, nice and robust feel to it
Disadvantages: I cant think of any!

...for both channels (on X-fader). These cut out Bass, Mid or Treble from the music. The switches can be tapped down to momentarily cut out the frequency or pushed up to keep the frequency cut out until the user decides to 'drop' it back in. Each of the 3 channels have there own independent Volume, Bass, Mid and Treble controls for tweaking the music being played. The sound quality is excellent by the way! I bet i've kept the neighbours up for a few nights in the past :) The mixer also features a beat counter on each channel (on X-fader) to help the user get them tracks in sync! The mixer automatically detects beats and shows the BPM but this can be overridden by tapping the beat counter button in time with the beat. There are obviously Mic and Headphone controls. They both have their own independent volume controls and the headphones can... Read review

Advantages: Better direction control, less splashing, spray option, soundly made
Disadvantages: Not cheap

..., push back for aerated water. It even seems to make the washing up liquid go further because it is easy to get a good lather! I was really pleased to get my Tap Adapta working again but with a brand new sink and worktops it did look a little strange to have a white Tap Adapta on a stainless steel sink where some of the accessories are black. However these days the good people of Lakeland even have an answer for that little problem - they now make a black one! OK so it did mean I had to buy another one but it looks really smart now on my new tap and I have 'recycled' the old one to a colleague so it hasn't gone to waste. Would I recommend it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Emphatically yes. I have a swing arm on my mixer tap but even so the Tapa Adapta makes it so much more flexible and functional that I wouldn't want to be without it... Read review

...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... Read review

Advantages: Powerful, lightweight, easy to use, fees great and convenient to store.
Disadvantages: doesn't have a stand or bowl

...I’ve owned this Dualit hand mixer for quite a bit. It may not be the most expensive or have the most attachments but it does what I need and has a couple of neat tricks. I have this neat black one but Dualit offer several other colours including chrome, ice blue, cream and red For those who don’t know much about Dualit they are a British company who make catering products for both the domestic and commercial markets. There products aren’t cheap but neither are they expensive, falling midway between the two extremes. They generally tend to be well made and reliable but I suspect every manufacturer has the rogue products made with a Monday morning hangover or in the Friday afternoon rush. Dualit Hand Mixer- Soft Touch- Black ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Dualit 88405 is a very good looking machine in my opinion... Read review

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...

Advantages: Nice looks, kill switches, nice sound
Disadvantages: cross fader feels delicate

...This is one of the nicest mixers I have seen. Available in several different colour schemes, I have the blue one with light blue hilighting. This is a sturdy mixer overall that will take a fair few kicks and will carry on working. The mixer is fully featured and has 3 channels, two of which are switchable between line and either line or phono, and the third channel is switchable between microphone and line or phono. Beat lights are fitted to channels 2 and 3, the same channels serviced by the cross fader. The mixer has a 'hamster switch', to change the direction of the cross fader (eg channel 2 can be on either the left or the right). The mixer also features three tone controls and three kill switches on each channel, a 'send' button for routing one or more channels straight out of the back, seperate output level controls for 'booth...

Advantages: Effects, Kill switches, XLR input, Balanced outputs.
Disadvantages: Distortion with effects, Inaccurate EQs.

...Not a bad mixer however the EQs are too sharp and not very accurate, the sound quality is not great and when i use the flanger it distorts the bass heavily, i have to counteract this by lowering the bass when in use. The effects sound alright but they are not as functional as i'd like. What I mean by this is you simply turn them on/off and they run a cycle as opposed to manual effects. The kill switches are very useful however i tend not to use them because most mixers in clubs don't have them and I don't want to come reliant on them. BPM counters are ridiculous, I hate them. Reason 1: An experienced DJ will not use them. Reason 2: Beginners shouldn't pick up bad habits. Reason 3: They are not accurate. The optical Fader is great and will never need replacing! Having an XLR input on a mixer of this price range is great!... Read review
