I have this hooked up to my A6, so I use the main channel on my A6 as the FX send and receive loop. FX Return as third channel. Since its analog you can also use the FX input as a third channel. Which is really funny because the filter is always on for sound using this path. I know you can use the AUX on the DJM 250 and you get an actual third channel that way, but you lose mic input. Dedicated record out, you can have main output, monitor and a record out on the Xone 22. The record out is also -10db. Do these points make it a better mixer than the DJM 250? Not really. As I said before horses for courses. |

| Margie Pavell 27.10.2013 | The Xone is funadamentally flawed in the cue system and filters. |

| Margie Pavell 24.10.2013 | that's a great way to use it...work flow is work flow... it took me about a year to get over not being able to nudge a track forward on a turntable or platter... |

| Osvaldo Newhall 23.10.2013 | Congrats on the purchase. That is insanely cheap. Got mine for $300 last year. Mine is black (DJM-250-K) and I love it. So much better than the xone22 in my opinion. I never liked A&H mixers to be honest. |
| Felipe Rasper 23.10.2013 | I use the third deck with my remix decks and F1. Works great that way. |

| Alphonso Deitchman 22.10.2013 | The 250 has Aux inputs for a third channel |
| Monroe Vandeslunt 22.10.2013 | I prefer the Xone 22 over the DJM 250, but really they are so similar theres not much in it between them, except I believe the Xone 22 has a few more features which most people don't use but could come in handy. Like using the FX return as a third channel. |
| Darron Ambroise 22.10.2013 | Wow, killer price. If only I waited until now to buy mine! Sweet mixer though, and for this price I would recommend anybody picking it up if they're interested in going external or want a new 2 channel mixer. |
| Felipe Rasper 22.10.2013 | Yeah i know, i just want something that is has the same simplicity as the DJM250 has got. I just want a dedicated filter per channel and no or not all lot of effects (i will be using Traktor's own effects) and not spend that much on a mixer. But for the time being this will do. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 21.10.2013 | There are plenty of 4 channel Xones and DJMs. |
| Felipe Rasper 21.10.2013 | I love mine! Just wish they would make a 4 channel version of it! |

| Ming Devis 20.10.2013 | This layout with the Allen and Heath analogue insides would be the ultimate two channel mixer for me being that I still mix 80% vinyl. It frustrates me that no one makes any other decent analogue 2 channels anymore with filters. That being said, I've used one of these at a friends place a few times and they are really good little mixers. Good build quality and a nice tight and punchy sound. |
| Vikki Jeannoel 20.10.2013 | which mixer do you prefer ? |
