the chinese made A&H mixers fall apart just by looking at them. so if your had your Xone62 a while and it's made in England i can imagine it been alright.PsyTox wrote: But I guess a lot of the choice for a mixer is very personal. I am suprised that everyone seems to go for the Xone:92 while that one went gaga on a few occasions during sets I did. My Xone62 at home has gotten a serious beating over the years and still works flawlessly.
A lot depends of course on your style of mixing. Almost forgot to mention the rotary mixer of Allen & Heath, pretty sweet
i think i would like a rotary mixer but i've never used one.

one of the things i've noticed about the xone 62 is that the eq's are really... misleading? on three different 62's i've played on, i've noticed that the bass eq kill seems to have a different band width than the eq itself.
in other words: imagine playing a fairly full track, good variety of stuff happening instrument-wise, and you're turning the bass knob down towards the left stop. the fade out sounds great, the only thing disappearing is the lowest end of the frequency range, until just before you hit the stop, when all of a sudden the eq kill seems to take a big bite out of the low-mid range.
anyone else notice that or am i just crazy? it sounds pretty terrible, but fortunately it's got the filters.
xone 92 for me, or rane mp-2016.
