xone:22 for $399 vs xone:32 for $529; there's no way i'd ever buy the 22 over the 32 for that little of a price difference

Yeah, it was posted once before on here.

Gotta say again though, it disappoints me to see A&H throwing out basic 2 channel mixers when they could be putting that R&D into something worth while.

its a scratch mixer.

maybe the quality is good, but the exterior looks like lower-end Numark or Gemini

There are more things that make this a scratch mixer. The crossfader is shorter than on larger mixers and the buttons/knobs are few and far between. The design in general makes it much more suitable for the motion-heavy applications that scratch DJs would be putting it through. Trust me, it's not ignorance, it's fact. Can it still be used like any other mixer? sure.

no because it looks exactly like a scratch mixer, and it is a scratch mixer

It's f*ckn' both, but A&H are in no way targeting this mixer to scratchers.
Reason is that it's a super bitch to replace the cross fader, while on my 32 it just pops out with 4 screws.
A&H are known for delivering the goods, no way is this there entry into scratch mixers lol.

I would have if this mixer was on the market at the time i bought my 32. Myself, like most others, ugrade from a 32 pretty quickly anyways. Might as well save a few bucks if you intend to upgrade quickly. And i don't know about you guys but my 32 and others that ive used were crap. Serious issues with bleeding. Not to mention the gains on the back of the mixer, eqs that aren't even full kills and the worst light meters ive ever seen on a mixer. At least it had 3 channels though.

It looks like a Xone 02 with filters added on to me. Seems like you just remove the faceplate and a few screws to change the faders too.

sad attempt at a scratch mixer if it was...nice little home 2chan mixer and add some technics ...bit pricy tho

Posted by Tony Morello on May-12-2009 22:32:

i can't wait til my local shop stocks this mixer

i'm in the market for a small cheap disposable mixer and this is looking like it'll do just fine (plus it helps that i love playing on allen & heath mixers)

after checking out this vid i'm intrigued and want to check it out in person

i think if you pair it up with some cdj-400's, you'll have a great little setup for a decent amount of cash

as ugly as it looks...im contemplating downgrading from my djm700 to this little guy. sadly the only equipment that have stayed with me all these years have been my tech1200s. a nice two channel mixer might be what i really need and prevent me from buying more gear. lol.

any takers for the djm700!?

In an interview I saw from NAMM when A&H released this, they specifically said it was to provide a low cost A&H mixer for bedroom users. They aren't trying to make this a scratch mixer.

i see no harm

Sup, ok it is FUGLY ... but ... it is very well equipped for a bedroom dj ... its A&H so u know it is good quality ... its got the standard everything + the filters are in there and personally i dont see much use for all the unnecessary FX other than a good roll ... filter and reverb ... filters being the big ones ... so i think this is good ... as long as u dont take it out of ur house cuz it is UGLY haha ... emm also like sum 1 else mentioned there is the 32 which is not tht much more exp !
