All that melts away when the lights are down and the bass is up.
Re: mixers
yeah if you're not worried about sound quality at all get the xone 22 or a pioneer.
Re: mixers
I didn't realise how god awful my Numark mixer was until using A&H and Pioneer ones, there's such a big difference

interesting never heard of this, reasonably priced stuff especially for a company that seemingly only makes mixers...£10 Bag wrote:A&H, Rane, Vestax, Ecler or Formula Sound. Fuck Pioneer!

Re: mixers
the ecler nuo 3.0 is the best sounding mixer i've ever used. huge nobs, easily customizable faders and a solid, no-frills design. i really can't begin to tell you how beautiful vinyl sounds on this mixer.hendramarshall wrote:interesting never heard of this, reasonably priced stuff especially for a company that seemingly only makes mixers...£10 Bag wrote:A&H, Rane, Vestax, Ecler or Formula Sound.

Re: mixers
Vote for allen and heath over here. My mate's got a pioneer mixer and it sounds awful in comparison, and the EQing and filtering on it just doesn't seem to work as well as my xone 32.

Re: mixers
A&H or ecler they make the best mixers
It's about dropping a track at the wrong speed, and it sounding better than the real thing.
Re: mixers
i'd agree a&h make good mixers but the new xone 22 is garbage.

Re: mixers
looks like im choosing between A&H and ecler... not looking to spend more than 400USD or so.
have you used the xone22 south3rn? is it rly that bad?
specs + price are seem to fit the mold for what we need.

Re: mixers
yes i've used it, i tested several different ones before i decided to not buy. they all had a level of hum, it seems like there are grounding issues since the mixers are now made in china. also, the filter has a nasty pop when you engage it. if you're using it on beat against a kick or snare it's not too noticeable, but it still really bothers me. i feel like a lot of the money you spend on the xone 22 goes towards the brand name and the filter, where as with ecler, they're a relatively small company with no real market reputation, so you're only paying for top notch build and very high quality components.

Re: mixers
Ecler have been making mixers since the 60's so they're a pretty safe bet. AFAIK they made the first ever DJ mixer.
I do highly recommend A&H but I've only had extensive use of the 'old' models which were made in the UK.
They may well be a lot shitter now they're made in China.

Re: mixers
if i were to buy an a&h i'd make sure it was UK made, i'd have absolutely no qualms buying one of those.
Re: mixers
I have a xone 22, bought it last year. Great mixer, nothing wrong with. I don't ground anything
and it doesn't hum at all, is that magic?

I've got a Nuo 2.0 - Love it! You can drive it to +10 before distortion and even then the distortion sounds warm and crunchy.hendramarshall wrote:interesting never heard of this, reasonably priced stuff especially for a company that seemingly only makes mixers...£10 Bag wrote:A&H, Rane, Vestax, Ecler or Formula Sound.
