all depends how much you wanna spend! but yeah go for an allan & heath xone:62 if you can afford it
Depends on what you wanna do with it though. If you more than two channels, and used mainly for mixes and stuff, then the Allen & Heath, Pioneer and Tascam mixers are quality. However if you wanna go a bit scratchy, the Technics DMC mixer, or Stanton and Vestax do good turntablist mixers. At the end of the day, its what you use it for and what you're comfortable with. Personally, I have a Technics DMC Champoinship mixer, and used a Stanton before that.

btw there is a mod you can do to the A&H Xone 62 to give it a sharp cf curve for scratching. All you have to do is remove a resistor :)

Xone:92 has an adjustable fader doesn't it?
As does the Xone:32!

Yes, they do. As does the 62. But the cf curve on the 32 and 62 is still pants for scratching. Dunno how good the 92 is tho

Have you looked at the Vestax PCV275 3 channel mixer? Its a good mixer for the money (if you don't want to scratch), and I doubt you'll find a Xone for 250 quid.

yeah i was lookin at the pcv275(vestax) and also considered the djm 500 pioneer, its a lot more money but a couple of friends said they'd all pitch in, how the djm 500 sound? its either that or vestax pcv275

ive got the vestax pcv275 and i think its worth the money. you really have to get hands on with both though and see which one you prefer that way

i own the pcv 275 and must say that i have come to really like it. it was given to me as a present and i wasnt sure what to expect, but the i was quite impressed. god bless the killswitches!!!

Rane are good toobuy that! its he best for its price and comes with a lifetime guarantee, these mixers are gold trust me and the sound quality is really good. and they are good fro scratching, cheaper then those overpriced allen and heath bs mixers.

yes definatly a perfect all around mixer except for those ones with the rotary knobs. i dunno about those, i dont like anything thats not already familar. I actually even prefer the tm56's or whatever. straight forward and easy, perfect for events cuz then djs arent trippin on tryin to figure out the mixer and focusing on mixing.

The rotary kbobs worry me, I like a nice push up fade in and push down fade out... seems a lot more natural and easy to control than twisting two knobs at the same time (though I do do freq swaps on the eqs...)

i say the vestax pvc-275 is a good way to go.
one rule when it comes to mixers for dnb:
STAY AWAY FROM ROTARY KNOBS.

Vestax are good for budget prices man. Good sound quality, reliable and multi use.
BUT........
A+H rule!!! I love my Xone:32!!!:gpeace:

all i can say is Allen and Heath of stfu lol
sound quality is awesome
only heard bad things about pioneer 600's dont know how there were the most used club mixer here in aus but now its A&H
have a look around can get some good dealsi got my A&H 62 for almost half price boh
Xone:92 has an adjustable fader doesn't it?
As does the Xone:32!
The 32 fader is still utter pap for scratching, dunno why they bothered with curve adjust.
Apparently it's all solved on the newer ones but I don't know anyone that has used a Xone 92 so who knows.
Sound quality is great on A&Hs but if you can't do the set you want then no amount of sound quality can fix it.
Rane's sound quality is on a par with A&H, imo
Completely depends on how much dollar you got to spend (or what you can rob!!!)
My vote goes to the DJM 6000.
For the low budget people like myself The Numark DM1 gets my vote, it has a reasonable cross fade adjust, doesn't sound too bad and has USB outs and ins as well as the normal ones.
Used an Allen & Heath ( at a free party surprisingly) very nice, Pioneer is nice too. Vestax are OK, but sound a bit 'thin' not such a warm sound, Technics are great for crabbing, but hell if I had the money probblay a Pioneer.
I would say that there is one critcial feature I'd like to see on mixers...taht is pre fade levels for each channel..that Rane one don't have that...quite useful.

....... What the fuck ....... what about the god like Allen and Heath Xone 02
Thing is fucking is meant for scratching, adustable fader curves, fader eq's. I mean come bloody here people!!!

depends whether you scratch or not dunnit.
ive got a tascam xs8 which is nice, but some times the fader curves are still a bit steep on scratch mixers for really smooth mixes (even with the adjustment)
i would like to have a go with rotarys tbh for some nice rolling liquid mixes :)
but i agree it would be very limiting

Allen & Heath is a great place to start. I got myself a Xone:02 professional battle mixer, some key features are:
-The EQ is all faders instead of knobs
-It has a proper power supply, that does not humm out your speakers
-It has XLR outputs so you can actually hook it up to a proper amp/power supply
-it has the fully adjustable fader curves.
-you can replace faders with Penny & Giles

Ecler Nuo5, haven't got one but they're a perfect hybrid between install style and an FXunit mixer also they have the Eternal xfader which is wicked for scratching. i've used this mixer loads and they're well worth the money

i was playing at a house party on the NUO5 yesterday and it was awesome, i swear the mixer made my set sound so much better! one of the other DJ's was using it to scratch and it's fine, the fader cuts like butter!

Pioneers are good. I have a DJM300, it's okay. I personally want a 600. Vestax is good too.
