two day old Xone 62 for sale....
View this Thread in Original format
zizack
This is gonna sound weird, but I've decided to sell my two-day old Allen and heath Xone:62 mixer. I bought it two days ago at Guitar Center brand new for $1150. Its an amazing mixer, but its just not the mixer for me. I'm looking into getting the new Denon instead, maybe even a DJM. The Xone is too much for me. If anyone is interested, PM me or reply. I'd like ot get around $1000 for it. Thanks for any interest.

Uh oh busted
zizack
busted?

I never really considered taking it back. I figured I used it for a few days, it's not new anymore. I guess its worth a try.

yeah i brought back a pioneer 3000 to guitar center after 2 weeks...there great like that.....keep the mixer for a couple weeks give it some time.......its a nice piece......even so if u like it bring it back and buy it on line...u can find it in the $800 range

yup i did the same thing a few times over. first was a older blue axis9, than i returned it for a smx-501, than that was doa so i returned that for final crash, couldn't get it to work stabily on any of my 3pcs, than i got a sl-1200mk5 in the end. That's alot of gear. lol :)

sweet deal. what didn't you like about the A&H?

The fact that you can't hear eq changes in regular cue mode. The onyl way to do it is through the AUX function, and even that way only allows you to hear eq changes in one cup. Add to that, the general quality of the sound while using the headphones is awful. I had two people play with it and confirm the fact that it is considerably more difficult to hear and distinguish beats coming out of the Xone 62 than almost any other mixer. The filters were cool, but other than them, I really really don't see what all the fuss is about.

:conf:

Must admit I don't bother with eq on the CUE channel. Don't need it anyways.
Would be interesting to know what headphones you have?

Hmm... strange that it should sound bad. Well, either way you have a good mixer at your disposal and that's the main thing.

Actually when you think about it the A&H is overated in my humble opinion. I find the faders too long to be able to get really creative with it and prefer working on the DJM 600 myself even if I own a Xone 464.

Enjoy either way. :)
