According to his website (http://www.arminvanbuuren.com/studio/) his home mixer is the Dateq XTC which I have heard great things about. However they are very hard to come by in the US. Someone on TA was selling one here a few months ago which had been converted by the factory to work in the US. The XTC is a 3 channel with really long upfaders as I recall.
I am not really sure spending almost a grand on a mixer mainly because Armin uses it is sucha great idea :rolleyes: |

that was me!....u can order it from holland if u contact via there website....they will also convert it to 110v.....it is an excellent sounding mixer and made very very well.....i sold it because i really didn't like the linear faders...but if u like them i recommend it.....when i mean excellent sound quality.....i would say it comes 2nd in my list:
1a- urei 1620 -- a tie with the urei & bozak...they both sound incredible but i prefer the shape of the urei kick while the bozak has better overall sound IMHO
1b-bozak
2-dateq
3-allen heath |

It's an XTC allright.
"Clean sound"... sound quality is pretty good, but I've heard better. What is REALLY amazing with this thing is the fact that it's indestructable. I've had occations where the Dateq drank more than the person standing behind it and it didn't give one shrimp! |
