Not sure if you know but the connections are on the bottom...so might be a pain to have it in it's own dedicated case or rack and you plan to take it out.

Yeah the connections are not an issue. It would be going into a coffin with lots of clearance for the connections, and I have panel which connects to the existing mixer which is currently in this coffin. Makes connecting anything a little easier. I'm just curious about its performance. How it compares to the other Xone models.

I've used the mixer. Great price but there are a couple things about it that would probably prevent me from buying it. Personally, i found the eq knobs to be WAY too close together. I could barely reach in to grab anything and accidentally turned other knobs with nearly every twist. And, I really hated the location of the headphone jack.

The cueing system wasn't ideal but they rarely are on a xone.

Just a poor layout. Great price though.

is this the fancy rackmount one?

Yes it's the fancy black faced one.

Terry, that's what I felt too. Everything seems too close together especially the eq section. Another thing I found was the lack of a mid eq cut/gain knob on the mic inputs. Why in the world would you cut that? Even the 800, and even the Denon 1700 lack this. Why?

$970 is a really nice price for that mixer. If you have a way to rack-mount it at home and can afford it. I personally would be all over it. I think it's sexy as fuck. The only real complaint I have against it, is the placement of the headphone jack.

Looks nice but as someone above said, those knobs look VERY close together.
