The Xone 22 is a great little mixer. Sounds just as good as the 92, just only two channels obviously. Love the large LED level meters on each channel and dual display mode. Some minor gripes though on the 22. You can't turn the crossfader off, so if you mix with the channel faders only (which I'm sure most of us here do) you got to keep the crossfader in the middle. I accidentally bump the crossfader occasionally. The filter sounds great, but no adjustable resonance control, only either "wild" or "mild" setting, and still get the 92's infamous popping sound when you engage the filter, so you must do the "engage on beat" trick to make it less noticeable, or I usually just leave it on at all times with HP filter turned down/left (I rarely use LP filter). There's no power on/off switch for the mixer either, just the wall wart power supply turns it on. Other than those few minor things, I think the 22 is the best non-scrathing mixer under $300 currently.

Ecler Nuo is great, i have Nuo 3!Morgy wrote:Anyone ever used one? Thoughts on it? Thinking of new mixer around this price range. Already asked here earlier in the week about the ecler nuo 2.0, which sounds good. Thanks
thanks for the insight, only thing that looks like annoying me is the crossfader! might be worth the compromise though!Todd Konix wrote:The Xone 22 is a great little mixer.
