Mhmmmhm...lucky you bro, here in the states nobody is interested in boutique unless you bring it yourself, however I think there is one small club with an condensa Lucia.

NAS ARS 9000 audio company from Japan if I recall correctly, yeah this bad boy is really expensive more than iso noe.



5000K

Thanks for the updates.

If my Evo 5 ever bites the dust (hopefully not) I could see myself going for a Xone 96. Looks awesome.

Originally posted by SynthNinja Here it is guys, if I didn't have the DN78 I would def be getting this monster. For clarification this the best mixer on the market right now, if someone could correct me its all Analog Signal Path with a sound card on top, no A/D D/A conversion when playing analog vinyl or line in CDJS, but you can use the sound card to bypass the cheap pioneer DACs and use the Allen and Heath ones. Its like the dn78 best of all worlds, a true hybrid.

Right, When you gonna post a mix on here?

This looks nice but tbh, I'm a little over the boutique mixer brand thing. they sprout up as a great idea but then you start hearing problems and all it takes is for one component to be shoddy and you've got a $2k paperweight as the company goes under because there's no profit in service.

I mean when you have serious companies Ecler, Vestax, Pio go under, how much faith do you want to put in a startup in someones garage.

Originally posted by SynthNinja ooohhhhh, how could I forget lol, Rann what do you think Richie Hawtin's new mixer, that was at the expo. Lovely Cox as in Carl Cox dumped the NI S8 for this one. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/de...odel-1-dj-mixer Iv never mixed with high and low pass filter for sweeping the lows from one to other, I''m afraid thats your only option with the model 1 and old school Radius, no low eq. hmm db 25 on the back + with 2 power supplies

Thi had good provenance but A&H have just officially bent Ritchie over with the announcement of the 96.

It does everything, and more, in a better layout with better functionality for $1000 less than the model 1.

You'd have to get it on firesale to chose that over the 96 now.

Why do you not like formula sound? I used to work with them (supplied components etc) and they seemed legit and have been about since the 80s'.

When I worked for a large club chain in Toronto they had formula sound and the thing was a tank. You could also ride them without getting all Pioneer on you.

The only thing I hated was that they always had long weird faders and a lot of mixers didn't have a xfader.

RANN...for the love of satan, check your PMs man


Anyway....anyone got any xone 96 questions? Seeing as I am one of the few in the world to have one at the moment, I am in a position to answer anything

I am a little bit in love with this thing.

What are some of your favorite things about it? How much different is it over the 92 from a practical and sound perspective?
