hard to decide, but actually it depends what you need it for.
if you want something that last longer and have better quality go fot the A&H i konw some people that are very pleased with him, and it's also cheaper.
the pioneer have a very good quality too and it's very reliable too, it's also got a sampler and some more function.
the A&H have 3 channel and the pioneer 4 channel.
It's realy hard decision.
but i think i would have to choose the pioneer, it's not more expensive for nothing. |

Without any doubt at all you should go for the Allen & Heath. The build quality of the Pioneer is at best questionable, and the sound quality is about the same. Whereas with the Allen & Heath, the build quality and sound quality is superb - you will never have any problems with faders etc. and the quality is unbelievable. You ought to save up a bit more though and get the Xone 62 rather than the 32, this gives you the extra channels. You may not want to use more than two channels at the moment, but since an Allen & Heath will be the last mixer you'll ever buy you may want to do some Carl Cox-style 3 TT mixing in the future.
Trust me, get the A&H. |

| Id say if u r comparing the 600 to the 32, thats not fair. Compare the 600 to the 62, then the AH is more $$$, but BLOWS AWAY the pioneer. those VCF filters are orgasmic |

I have Pioneer DJM 500, and have tried A&H Xone 62 at a DJ exhibition a while back, and I must say, A&H Xone 62 kick Pioneer's ass by far.
DJM 600? Still cannot compare to Xone 62, imo.
4 band Eqs, VCF Filters and the sound quality is unquestionable on the Xone 62.
If I were you, I would get the Xone 62, not 32.
It will be quite a while before I get to switch my current mixer. And trust me, u'll be wayyyy much happier with the 62 is you are picky about sound quality, build, useable effects,i.e VCF Filters.
Of course, I should have gotten the 62, one choice that has been kicking my butt everytime I see a shop that sells a Xone 62, and it is cheaper than DJM 600, what more can you ask?
After all, it is your choice.
Best bet, go try them both.
You'll be insane if you are not addicted to the VCF filters after trying it out.
I admit I am crazy over those filters.... That day, I have to walk away from the exhibition kicking myself why didn't I get the Xone 62. |

| Thanks for the feedback.. I'd love to get the xone 62 but the only problem is I can't get them in my country.. not even in the neighbouring countries whereas the djm 600 is available easily here.. |

| you cant get it? Im sure you can. Go to the xone page and write em asking for distributors. Im sure you could work something out. |

The Xone has a far better sound quality and the VCF filters are a-w-e-s-o-m-e!!!
Try to get the 62.. you'll get 6 channels (altho you won't use them all), 4-band EQ, superb sound quality, awesome faders.. you won't have to replace it in a lifetime! |
