    Thumbs up Allen & Heath Xone:4D Photos and Videos

    Evening all,

    As some of you are already aware I've treated (and bankrupted) myself to an Allen & Heath Xone:4D mixer. Its a great piece of kit and I've noticed that there isn't that much info about it online yet so I've uploaded some pics and vids. If you want to check out the still images they are on the galleries page of my website here:

    www.dougie-jones.com

    As far as I'm aware these are the first on the net that are not the official press pics.

    Oh and if you are interested in the videos you can check them out here:

    Video 1

    Video 2

    Video 3

    Video 4

    Let me know what you think.

    Cheers

    Dougie

    every A&H mixer I've ever used has been in some way broken... I get the impression they aren't really built for club use. Definitely not for ham-fisted ****ers like me.

    Thanks for the replies! Seems that there is quite a mixed opinion to A&H when compared to Pioneer etc. I used to use a DJM-800 and when I first got the 4D it did take some getting used to but now I'm used to it I'm glad I made the switch. The faders are really smooth and the switches seem more robust, can see why some of you find them fiddly though.

    Oh and for the record I don't work for A&H... however I do think that they should get me on their promotion team though :lol:

    Allen and Heath mixers SUCK.

    (imo)

    If you like your mixing unexciting and restrained, NO HASSLE ! If, however, you'd like to do anything beyond the likes of what Sasha and Digweed do - you'll be needin' to trade up :-)

    And that filter, how completely HORRIBLE does that sound ?

    Such an awesome piece of kit..... Except when it isn't (which is all the time)

    I've got a DJM800 which has its flaws but at the end of the day it's NOT A TOTAL PIECE OF SHIT !

    I just don't get why anyone likes/uses allen and heath - it's kinda like having a girlfriend that you don't bum, where IS the point ?

    PS: That last line was a joke. Kinda.
    I whip on horses at the rock jam sessions. I'm a rockstar.

    Allen and heath mixers have got great sound quality but i do still prefer my pioneer djm400. As everyone has said the allen and heaths always seem really fiddly.

    Well you might not like A&H but at least you're honest

    I've had a xone 62 since 2002 and haven't had any problems with it at all.
