Right guys im in the market to upgrade my mixer and im considering either the Pioneer DJM600 or an Allen & Heath X:One 62, been doin a lot of reading up on them and the Pioneer is edging it at the moment becuase of onboard effects ans sampler etc but what do you lot think;
how are they for reliability?
Sound Quality?
Personal preferences or any views at all from people who've used both???
Any infomation would be a great help :happy2: |

| The Xone eats the 600 for lunch unless you want the onboard effects. Which I don't really like all that much so I know I'd get the Xone. Actually you can't scratch on the Xone FYI but I'd still buy one over the 600 because I already have a battle mixer. Xone is better build quality and much better soundquality. The filters can make for very smooth mixing if thats what you're into. |

This topic has been here in the last month or so... multiple topics like this. Usually they will compare the 600, 62 (and sometimes 92), Nuo5, & x1500.
As for you simple ??'s...
Reliability: A&H
Sound Quality: A&H |

I did search but couldnt find anything in this forum so i do apologise....
Other q's like is it really worth having the 2 dials for the mid bands on the 62? I'm not into scratching just variations of house. And the effects that you get with the 600 are they any good? And could these effects be achieved using the VCF faders on the 62?
I know best way is to try them both out but a store with both setup is not in my area although spending this amount of money might warrant a journey... |

| The 600s effects are overused IMO. |

| little question about the xone 62: when cueing can you blend the track being played out and the cueing track in the headphones at the sametime??? Cant find anything anywhere that says it does or not.... |

Everything including the Cueing system, layout, size of faders, etc. except fot the build and sound quality is inferior to DJM-600!
Actually I wouldn't buy either. I've had DJM-600 for a while and it still has the best layout out of any mixer I've ever mixed on at clubs, but now I have my eyes on the Rane Empath. |

well, I actually OWNED both of the mixers you are looking at, and I liked the DJM 600 much much better than the Xone: 62. If you're looking to spend that kind of money on a mixer don't listen to people who haven't played on either for extended periods of time, because they're pretty much just talking out of their ass. Everyone keeps blabbing about how Allen and Heath Mixers are the best. Blah...unless you're talking about the Xone: 92 (which I have now) or the V6, then A & H's are just average.
I bought the Xone: 62 because I thought the filters would be cool and because it had such a great reputation, and I ended up hating it. The layout of the mixer is retarded...nowhere near as comfortable and logically layed out as the DJM. You CAN'T hear Eq changes while cueing a song, which is ridiculous, and what annoyed me most was how bad the sound quality was while monitoring through headphones. It was very difficult to distinguish and hear beats while beatmatching. I had the mixer for like 3 days, played with it for many many hours to try and get a feel for it, and just came to the conclusion that it was just an expensive, over-hyped mixer. Took it back to Guitar Center and picked up the DJM which I was in love with. DJM's are more standard in clubs than the Xone: 62, the layout of them is awesome, the effects are cool if you know how to use them. It's just a very comfortable mixer, which i would rather have any day over the Xone: 62 |
