I certainly wouldnt call those the top 2 companies.
Anyways, its really hard to compare those two companies.
Pioneer makes effect filled mixers. See:909
Allen and heath make more minimalistic good quality mixers.
They are really not suited for the same mixing styles. |

| All mixers have their little pros'n'cons so I haven't touched 'the perfect' mixer yet. But A&H Xone series (specially 62 what I also have myself) gets my thumbs up. |

Pioneer mixers like the djm300 djm600 etc are not realy battle style mixers. The 909 is for turntabilists is what you are saying? |

I've owned an Allen and heath Xone:62, Pioneer DJM600 and I now own a Xone: 92 with Rotaries.
If I had to rank them in terms of my preference...
1. Xone: 92 obviously
2. Pioneer DJM600
3. Allen and Heath Xone: 62
The Xone: 92 is much more expensive than the other two, so I'll put it into a seperate category. In terms of both companies two equivilantly priced mixers, I'd definitely have to say that I like Pioneer better. The effects were cool and useful, the mixer had a very comfortable feel. The Xone: 62 I really disliked. I didn't like the layout, lack of beign able to hear eq changes in the headphones, and the sound quality through the headphone output.I took back the Xone: 62 and got the Pioneer which I loved. Again, if I had a vertain amount of money, under $2000 of course to spend on a mixer, I'd go with Pioneer. I like the DJM-600 better than the Xone: 62 and I would much rather have a DJM3000 or DJM500 over the Xone: 32. |

| I'm not a big fan of Pioneer's build quality and overall sound quality. I have owned or been a partial owner of (2) DJM-500's for around 7 years or so. I have seen firsthand how they age. To me, the only reason to get a Pioneer would be the need for easy effects. The effects on the Ecler are a little more in-depth and take a bit of getting used to while the A&H don't have effects (other than the LFO or whatever that one thing they have on there). |

+1
Rane's tech support is great and quality is top notch. When i need a mixer, i need a mixer. Not a mixer/effects processor/coffee maker.
Urei is just classic. I like anyone else would love to get a urei 1620 or bozak cma-10, but since they haven't been produced for over 20 years, they're hard to come by. |
