hmm.. had a look over the xone92 forums @ xone.co.uk and indeed a few people are complaining about it. given how much the 92 costs i'd be annoyed.

yeah, i gotta say i am a bit annoyed about it. altho i don't even use the filters really (yet at least). the mixer having filters had no effect on my decision to buy it though, there were other much more important reasons.

Here is A&H's explanation (read: excuse) as to why the filters click

Who cares how many "top DJs" endorse the mixer? That shouldn't even be brought up in a reply to a problem with the board... makes about as much sense as saying scientology is cool because tom cruise endorses it.

Maybe they could explain why my xone32 doesnt exhibit this click but the 92 does?

could it be that...

they moved production to cheap labor in china and don't build em like they used to? :P

okay...now can we shift focus back to the original thread topic: the pioneer mixers? its very important that a resolution for this issue can be found...anybody?

alright...so the final verdict seems to be that there is no way around it really (but the FX level on zero) method...thanks to all for responses

That's not a ghetto way of doing it at all - I don't think I ever turn the FX on with the depth turned up, you get so much more control and can make your FX so much more subtle if you ease them in with the depth control.

The reason for the click is that firstly turning on an effect introduces a slight delay to the sound, plus with the depth set to max it suddenly starts altering the sound, both of which can make the signal suddenly jump (imagine a smooth sound wave, then at a point you shift it slightly and get a step in the smooth wave) - that's what causes the click. It's nothing to do with static (unless your mixer's knackered in some other way)

It's simply down to how Pioneer implemented the FX, so I'm afraid there isn't another way around it. But use the depth - that knob's essential for making your FX sound bearable/good.

true...yeah i guess i considered it ghetto just cuzz i was used to it on the efx-500...when you enable the effect, doesnt click as bad...but alright, i guess the knob does give more control somehow especially for other fxs
