-- Xone 42 vs. Xone 62

Xone 42 vs. Xone 62

So I'm pretty set on buying one of these in a few weeks. The only reason why I am having trouble deciding which one is the fact that on the www.moogaudio.ca website (Montreal and Toronto locations), the 42 is $1,029 and the 62 is $799. I know the 42 has a USB connection but the 62 has two more channels and a 4-band EQ, compared to what seems to be the 42's 3.

Can anybody clear this up please?

I would get the 62. Actually I did get the 62, but I would get it again. Keep in mind those two extra channels take 1/4" inputs and aren't routed to the filters.

Sounds good man, so far I'm going based on what you wrote. I am wondering however if anybody else has got an opinion on this? Particularly someone whose used the 42?

62

Forego both options. Get the 92

Lol 92 for sure. I JUST ordered mine last week and i got it for 1000 shipped slightly used. Hopefully i hit the deal of a lifetime since im still waiting for it to come. The prices for it have gone down considerably though, DJ deals has it for $1315 and im sure guitar center can match that price + no tax and no shipping. I was going to get the 42 also when woody waid djdeals had it for 1099. Last deal i saw on the 42 was for 800 + shipping used.

I would also change my vote to 92, but the OP didn't list that as an option.

Technically speaking, what does the 92 do better than the 42?

IMO 42 is plenty.

Yea 92 seems like an overkill for a home setup. Considering the 62 is less expensive that seems to be a logical choice.

Here is one solution...



Pretty cool to see all 3 lined up.

62 is garbage. Get the 42, the Xfx send alone is worth it.

yup

i was debating around whether to get a 62 or 42 months ago, but in the end I got a 92 and it owns.

to be honest, I'd rather get an empath or an ecler nuo 4.0/5.0 or evo 4 rather than a 42 or a 62. everyone's so fixed on allen & heath.

the 92 is better but to me not almost twice the price better... not even close

Yea the Ecler Nuo 5 also looks really, really nice. One thing I really like about it (which the A&H ones may or may not have) is the bass-off switch that is assigned to each channel. That can be very handy.

There aren't any kill 'switches' but the low end EQ is capable of full cut.

Also, using the filters to take out the low end is another option which i like playing with.

Personally, i would probably go with 42 out of the 62 and the 42...If you have the cash go with the 92.

I love mine, but I'm still paying for the purchase now eeeek..

So would you say the 92 produces better sound quality as well? Or is it simply more feature-rich?

I've used both, and I can't really tell the difference. I can tell the difference between them and other brands though. I own an old Ecler scratch mixer which I think sounds great too, but I don't like the sound much on Pioneers.

I think the main difference between the 62/92 are the added LFOs on the filters, a better cue section, and different fader caps. The 62 is also about an inch taller than the 92.

Not me, I never wanted an A & H. Rane Can't be beat. At this level between these 2 companies, u won't make a wrong choice with either one. Love my Empath

Empath was actually my second choice mixer after the 62. I really like them a lot, but wanted 6 channels instead of 3.

yeah, but those two extra channels can not be assigned to a filter and the eqs on them only go down -15. And the eqs on the other 4 channels arent even full kills.

there are two seperate filters on the 62 though, but ive never found them that useful. especially considering that the range is only 100Hz-20kHz. where as the range on the 42 starts at 20Hz.

the extra mid on the 62 is cool though.

if i had to choose between the two id go for the 42.
