here is a little movie about it

http://www.allen-heath.com/xone/movie17.html

I just bought a Xone:62 a little over a month ago....

Should of waited

 

[Spinsah]

that's hot.

what's the MSRP?

 

[channi]

no idea, the "offical" release isn't until about 2 hours

If you can believe it Allen & Heath Canada can't even give me (a dealer) any info on it. Seems a little stupid that I can't answer any questions IMO.

 

[Humanjava]

no specs on sound though?
I had the Xone 464 and I still say it was the best mixer I have had. Will defn buy another A&H for DJ'n again.

 

[~atp~]

I have the xone:32, and I wouldn't trade it for anything....well, not for anything in that price range....it does exactly what I want it to do, and the VCFs are fantabulous.

 

[sentence]

at last, a mixer that comes with spare knobs!!

 

[^NuERA^]

anyone have any idea what the price will be?

 

[2337lover]

That's a nice looking piece of machinery!!!

 

[beaker]

what are the differences between the 92 and the 62? so far i can only see:

- MIDI out
- mic input
- more extensive monitoring options
- cheezy rave lighting to keep you high

 

[graham]

can it make explosion noises ?


I can.

 

[beaker]

that's what we use the mic input for.

 

[graham]

sold !

 

[Spinsah]

i think that graphic in the bottom left makes it really.

isn't that the cluster records logo?

maybe it only plays hard techno.

 

[ethnik]

from the first looks of it, i like the bigger EQ knobs. that is my only beef with previous models (and i owned a zone 62 before sadly having to sell it for $$$).

killer mixer! anxious to know what price this bad boy is going to be going for....my guess would be around $1900-2100 or so.

 

[DeepSix]

this might make me forget about the empath....

 

[DaPhatConductor]

except for the stupid 4 band eq's i'd be totally there.

actually the 4 band eq's on the A&H are fucking phenominal. that mid-bass EQ adjustment is the cats meow indeed! it is the key to amazing sound coming out of that mixer. it adds such richness and depth to the bass it is UNREAL.

the more i think about it, the more i want this mixer!

[^NuERA^]

is there no effects on there? if i spend that much on a mixer i want effects, if not dual channell effects...

 

[ethnik]

it's got assignable, dual channel VCF filters. who needs effects with those bad boys?

once you experiment with them and get to know them, you can do amazing things (especially if you know your records from edge to edge).

if the filters work like those on the Zone 62 you can save certain filter patterns and recall them at the puch of a button.

killer stuff

btw, i am not an A&H sales rep! i just love their product, i personally think they make the best mixers out there (other than old school Bozak or Urei, but that is an entirely different ballgame. used to love rane, but have come to loathe the sound coming out of them. and don't get me started on pioneer, numark, american, beringer, and all the other bad mixers out there....)

I can't stand the EQs on the A&H. The crossover points are all wrong and don't sound right in the club. The Rane 2016 has a way better EQ section in my opinion, for example when you cut the bass you only cut the bass. On the A&H you don't get enough bass out with low-end EQ then when you hit the low-mid EQ you lose some of the mid-range character.
