Don't underestimate Eclers... |
I am also looking at mixers in the Xone 32/42 range. What Ecler mixers would you recommend? |

Check ou the Nuo 3.0, Nuo 4.0, or if you want a little more in terms of midi, etc., the Evo4.
There was also a barely used Evo5 on Ebay i saw yesterday for like 1200 bucks.
I've got an Evo 5 and do not regret it for a minute. (But that's more in the Xone 92 range.)
Look at the Nuos. |

I'd go for a 42 if it weren't for the fact that it's 3-band and not 4-band.
Ergo, I plan on getting a 62. |
the 62's cue system is megaballs though. i like the 42- it looks like it has everything i need (though a 4th channel *would* be nice). $700 is a fantastic price, i agree. |

...y'know, now that I'm looking at it I might get the 42. I can get a new one for 700 as opposed to a beat up 62.
I mayyyy. |

do iiiiiittt
seriously, the 62 cue system sucks. i love the cue/mix blend knob, so that's what i really look for in a cue system for a mixer. if you don't need the 4th channel it's especially pointless. |

Honestly, go for the 42. The 62 is extremely outdated at this point. It's a DJM 600 competitor when you really think about it. |

It did indeed show up on Friday and my life has already changed because of it. I definitely give DJDeals a positive review. I ordered it Wednesday morning and had it Friday afternoon. It was $679, and then I paid another $75 for 2-day shipping. I noticed Agipro has it for $899 although I guess they could price match. Anyway, it was my first experience with DJDeals and I am not dissappointed in the slightest.
More importantly - this mixer rocks! In a matter of minutes of messing with the filter it has completely changed how I mix. Before getting it, I was kinda bummed it didn't have the 4-band eq, but after playing on it I can see how that doesn't really matter. I have always been and eq mixer but now I can just use the filter and it is smoooooth. Its so obvious to me now because the filter is basically doing what I was with the eqs (minus the mild to wild resonance).
And it does have four channels - the only drawback is that only two of them are phono. Of course, I don't remember the last time I saw someone using three turntables. So, in reality, you get 8 inputs, plus effects, plus a mic or USB. One of the main reasons I went this over the 32 is that I wanted to be able to have turntables, Serrato, and CDJs all hooked up at the same time without having to switch anything out. Now I am so glad I got it for so many other reasons as well.
The cueing is superb. You have multiple options for cue monitoring. You can split the master and cue in the head phones, you can blend the master into the cue, you can have the cue level show up as the master level, and you can have the master level be on the right and the cue on the left. Additionally, you can cue as many channels as you want at the same time and the headphones are pre-eq and pre-filter so you can hear your track clearly in the headphones will mixing it up with the filter out of the main.
Bottom line - it rocks and I could not be happier. |

| You may have convinced me on the 42. Definitely could get it sooner and for cheaper, which is always better. |

That's because most people have trouble keeping two lined up for any extended period of time... ;)
I have the 32 and use it for 3-deck, vinyl mixing, so with only two phono lines the 42 wouldn't be of much use - nice that they optioned the crossfader on the 42 so that you can change the filter frequency with it. That's the feature I love the most on the 32 - pulling filter sweeps with knobs just seems counterintuitive... |

| The other option is to buy non-Tech TTs. A lot of them now use line instead of phono. |
