One other possibility are the new Denon 19" rack mount mixers, they aren't shipping yet but they have rotary options. I think they are in the $500USD price range as well.

Cheers...

a linear mixer with rotary kit is not as good as a true rotary mixer.

I know that with the Pioneer DJM-1000, its directly ordered from the manufacturer with the rotary knobs built in. They have face plates designed for a rotary version of the mixer, except the rotary version isnt really advertised.


What I did do is email A&H with an inquiry about getting the Xone:92 a drop customized. If it can be done...

a. Im selling my Xone:62 ASAP
b. expect me to be the only person in the world with this version of the mixer.

Do you have $4000 to give me? Im not looking to drop that much loot on a mixer. That mixer is absolutely silly to own in a bedroom.

Had a chance of testing the Allen&Heath's V6..have to say that
i almost wetted my pants. Only bad thing is the horrible price.
IMO best rotary mixer in the planet right now, but the XONE 92 is also
a very very good mixer too. And will be my choice when i have to
upgrade my DJM600.

well, i'm all used to mixing on linear fader channels.
any advantages, preferences, biases for using rotary knobs instead?

when i think about it, seems like it'd be a bit of a pain in the ass to do quick movements on the rotary knobs unlike the linear ones.
