Ecler Nuo-3 vs. Allen&Heath Xone:32
PLEASE COMMENT ON YOUR VOTE!
hard time making desicions. they both have three channels, both have 60mm faders, both are said to have excellent build quality, sound quality.
Pros of Xone32: HP,LP,BP filter, LFO
Pros of Nuo3: FX send/return, balanced out, fader & x-fader curve adjust
whadda ya think folks?
As much as I like ecler and their nuo series, I believe the best 3 channel mixer still is the xone 32, sound quality, layout, insane filters and even the outputs are some of the reasons why. But why compare the nuo3 with the xone 32 when for the same price you can get a nuo4, and for sure I would go with the nuo4 over a xone 32. The nuo3 has a nice price on it though 
I really think the best thing to do is trying them both out and weigh out the pro's and con's against eachother.
Obviously they both have great sound and build quality, so you need to find out the little differences that'll benefit YOU.
Which features will you most likely be using more often.
Which one feels better when working with etc.
I own a Xone:32 myself and really love it, on the other hand not having played with the Nuo stopped me for voting on this poll,
because that wouldn't be fair.
The best advice I can give you is to just 'test-drive' them 
.

I'm having this decision making headache too... haha.. However our gear shop doesn't carry either of these mixers in stock, so I can't even test drive them to see what I prefer.. 
What's the difference in price?
For me...
$789 32 vs $666 Nuo3
DannyO knows a shop out east that Axe with price match with on the Xone and bring it down about $100... So almost no difference if I did that.
I'm having the same dilemma, It's too close for me to call on this one. The only thing I dont like about the 32 is the loose X-fader.
I voted for norris. But.
32.
Straight up the Nuo, but I prefer battle mixers, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I own a Xone:32.
It has AUX send, balanced booth and main output, and adjustable crossfader curve.
I got mine brand new in the states for $630 with free shipping.
what mixer would Chuck Norris prefer?

I was trying to make the same exact decision recently, and ive decided to go with the nuo-3 for a few reasons:
1) price diff is about $150
2) i plan on mixing a lot with gains, and whatever fucktard designed the 32 by putting the gains in the back deserves a bitch slap.
3) the EQ nobs are nice and big with full cuts.
4) the upfaders on the 32 & 62 have those producer style handles which i dislike.. but a&h improved that with the 92.
The 32 has the obvious advantage with the filters, but i decided i dont really need that right now.. the nuo-3 is gonna be my first mixer.. if i get more advanced then i will just sell it and get the zone 92, hope this helps.
nuo-3 gets my vote.
i would go for the 32w

PM me for details

It does seem kind of a weird design, but it isn't an issue for me. The EQs on the xone allow full kill and are the smoothest I've ever used... and I hate the 92's upfaders compared to the 32's |
I have a dxm01 ROCK ON! Its pwns the xone and the Nuo...
Ok maybe i was lieing but us poor people dont have these kinds of choices 
From what iv read and seen, personally i would go ecler but overall i think chuck wins.
Did you know he actualy lost his virginity before is father did?

Btw for reference I got my 32 from agiprodj.com for 629$ US, that was the cheapest I found.
