The Allen and Heath DJ Mixer ID thread Posted on: 17.09.2013 by Lannie Kutay Maybe you saw some cool mixer in a club and had no idea what it was.... Or your an A & H nut and you thought you knew every dj mixer they made, but there there was one more hahaha! Really I'm just super bored at work today, so I figured i'd do something productive. So in no particular order..... Start Scrollin'!! The Xone DB4 The Xone DB2 The Xone 4D The Xone 3D(Had 2 Color Variations) The Xone 42 (Had 2 color Variations) The Xone 2D (Had 2 color Variations) The Xone 1D (Had 2 color variations) ___________________________ The Xone DX The Xone 02 (Had 2 "Design" Variations) The Xone 22 The Xone 32 (Had 2 Color Variations) The Xone 62 (Again comes in 2 colors!) The Xone 92 The Xone 464 (Came in 2 colors) The Xone S2 The Xone v6 (sometimes called the s6) (can a man have true love for a dj mixer......???) Some are questioning how to EQ with that v6....hmmm.....bum bum BUM!!! The VF1! The ideal way to use these is to have 6 of them through the 6 independent send returns of the v6. Analogue Sweetness I believe that's it....whew Quite a history of making fine DJ mixers!! Did I miss one let me know. (the k2 hmmm.. maybe, but I don't believe it can mix external sources.) Also I wanna hear your story about your FAVORITE A & H mixer!

No no, its now show your setup i was talking about, was a thread benz0 created, just tons of mad analogue gear which probably cost the same as your house, each!
Lannie Kutay 18.09.2013	Originally Posted by DarioJ LOL. That's how it all starts man! One day you're looking at peoples gear, the next thing you know, you're drowning in MIDI and doing things you never thought you'd do vinyl. Don't do it!!! Too much MIDI....is that possible?? https://soundcloud.com/braxe1/too-much-midi-alanbraxe-remix

Alot of DB4's and DB2's up for sale lately. Not sure why though.
Lannie Kutay 18.09.2013	Originally Posted by frankle I've currently got an original Mk1 Xone:464 ... it had Master "Faders" instead of the Master "Pots" (yes, there are a pair of stereo Masters). There was also a Xone:62 with a Master "Fader" but I don't have one of these. From what I gather these 2 models were the first that A&H made. The silver pictures of the 464 & 62 above are the Xone2:464 and Xone2:62. I also have the one of the first 3 Xone:92's to get to Australia. The Importer kept 1 for trade shows till good stocks arrived, a shop in Sydney got one and so did I (I work in a shop in Melbourne). I still use it each week, an awesome mixer! I also had a Xone:4D but it was all Silver ... sold it before I got stuck into controllers properly, looking back at it now it was probably the best mixer that I have ever had and would suit me perfectly these days ... I now use my 92 and a pair of X1's with Traktor. Damm dude your like a member of A&H royalty!! Throw a few sweet pics on here!!

Rolanda Clodfelder 19.09.2013	a lot of "true" rotary mixers don't have EQs. it just works that way. Prior to '94/'95 the vast majority of Mixers (sub $1500) did not have Channel EQ's. Hell most did not even have Master EQ's ! How did we survive Plenty of Folks who use rotary's tend to go spend the extra cash and go modular for some weird reason.

Dione Haimes 19.09.2013	/threadderail so aye, those V6 mixers eh?
Hanna Ridenbaugh 19.09.2013	Niki Belucci?
Brunilda Kora 19.09.2013	What the hell are you talking about?!?!?!
Chung Rosaro 19.09.2013	I would rather look at nice, expensive, extensive DJ and sound setups rather than cars ANYDAY. Also, a girl hovering over a set of technics with headphones on is WAY sexier than a girl trying to hug an import car. Somehow I feel it is more subtle and intelligent when an attractive woman djs rather than stripping down to a bikini to take a pic with a car she"ll never own. Of course, there are a ton of slutty female djs who HAVE to dj with titties out, but I believe that shit is horrible for the actual female djs who can both spin and are attractive.

Dione Haimes 18.09.2013	This thread reminds me of the gear p0rn thread, what ever happened to that..

Rosina Steinkuehler 18.09.2013	That V6 is something else.. Quite sexy for it's time. Have a DB4 here but unfortunately it had an accident and the channel A looper knob was knocked off (long story). Slowly over time my DB4 is having issues powering up and such due to what I believe is something being grounded that shouldn't be. DB4 is going back for repair friday. In the meantime a 92 is on the truck waiting for delivery so I am anxious to get back to 4 band eq's for a while!! Nice thread 031999! /Another xone fanboy

Lillian Morch 18.09.2013	I've owned: Xone:32, Xone:42, Xone:62 and a Xone:1D I'm currently on a Xone DB2 with a Xone:K2. Fanboy over here
Judi Sissel 17.09.2013	Originally Posted by Eugguy It is never too late to go rotary! But regardless...A&H makes crazy good mixers... The digital-geek side of me is hoping that A&H will release a nice update for the DB series :crossing fingers: before the end of the year. I love the DB4 enough not to go through the hassle of swapping out a full-digital setup for an analogue one. Besides, have you seen the for sale section lately... LOL. The draw of handcrafted genius, just has a sex appeal to it.
Rolanda Clodfelder 17.09.2013	There was also a Chrome Plated Xone 464 or 92 (I believe) which I had the pleasure of playing on. I have a feeling it may have only been a prototype though and was the first A&H I ever encountered. I remember my mind was blown with the filters and 4 band EQ.
Chung Rosaro 17.09.2013	If I owned one of those, I wouldn't mix with it. I would frame that sh-t. Just so beautiful to look at, no need to even hook it up, haha. Bartmixer on the community s here is one of the few members I've seen rock these types. The V6 is on my list of mixers to try along with the ones listed above... http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=67443
Oretha Afful 17.09.2013	rotary mixers are so sexy. no needs for bells & whistles when you have a mixer that looks like this DJR400_wood.jpg 1-1.jpg
Chung Rosaro 17.09.2013	Originally Posted by DarioJ If I could do it all over again... I'd probably go analogue-rotatory. It is never too late to go rotary! But regardless...A&H makes crazy good mixers...

Chung Rosaro 17.09.2013	Originally Posted by Paka Ono A&H also released rotary versions of certain mixers. Some people prefer them to faders. I AM ONE OF THOSE "SOME PEOPLE!!!"...awesome mixer... Here's a link to my setup... http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=71596
Hellen Mindrup 17.09.2013	Best ever. Soundbar here in Chicago has an old V6, my buddy posted a pic of it the other day next to their new 92
Hanna Ridenbaugh 17.09.2013	Just stop, no more lol
Lannie Kutay 17.09.2013	Originally Posted by iambiggles If you REALLY needed it you can add stuff to the V6 http://www.performanceaudio.com/imag...1500/150_f.jpg Crossfader. http://www.djdeals.co.uk/prod-downlo...e-V6-isola.jpg Isolator A good DJ doesn't need all the bells and whistles on modern mixers. They make do with song selection coupled with incredible sound quality from one of these, a bozak, Urei or some of then newer rotary analogue mixers. dont forget that badass VF1 check out the OP i posted a picture. hahaha talk about the "original modular system"
Hanna Ridenbaugh 17.09.2013	I'll keep repeating a Buddhist qoute I heard today, as I doubt I will be able to afford a v6 for a long time. "All suffering is caused by desire"
Qiana Castellucci 17.09.2013	If you REALLY needed it you can add stuff to the V6 http://www.performanceaudio.com/imag...1500/150_f.jpg Crossfader. http://www.djdeals.co.uk/prod-downlo...e-V6-isola.jpg Isolator A good DJ doesn't need all the bells and whistles on modern mixers.
