Allen & Heath Xone:96

Amazing sound quality. I think it overheats a bit. Not sure if its ok. Filters are amazing !!. Easy to set up any configuration.

Obsessed with this mixer. Merchant was great.

Bought it on May 8, 2023. Last night / Dec 4th 2023 the #4 channel plastic fader thumb piece fell off and the bit of metal that sticks up to put the plastic fader thumb piece on, literally disappeared in the slot, it's afk... -For clarification, when the metal fader piece fell into the mixer all the lights blinked like a disco. Then smoke puffed out the right back side... It's Toast... aka it's not just a vol fader replacement. It's been used in a non smoking studio two or three times a week and for 2 - 4 hours per session at best with cdj3000's. I spin in clubs in nyc regularly, this $2600 mixer in a club would have died after 2 months or less. Don't get me wrong, the sound quality IS outstanding. However... 1. The build quality IS complete crap. 2. It has a horrifically broken cue system. Cue master knob is utterly broken vs every mixer in the world. You need to run in latch mode and even then it takes several button presses to cue. It's a joke when working with it in an environment where speed matters aka doing 4 - 8 bar big room transitions. 3. You can't hear the filters in the cue system at all, ever - it's not even possible. 4. You can't hear the mic via the record out. Seriously??? 5. Oh and the USB audio out sounds like garbage no matter what cables you run or what the HZ/Bit depth is set to. I have oyaide usb black, white and green cables, black sounds best / it's warmer, but still sounds like poo. The analog record out or one of the other analog outs is the only option for good analog sound. 6. And don't even get me started on how hot this thing gets... It will fry your cdj's if you touch the cdj's to the mixer. It's soo hot the sides of the mixer will nearly burn you. And I'm still paying this freaking thing off. GG allen & heath, never again. Now I'm gonna go spin live with a pioneer a9 and I'll hang the xone 96 behind me as a junk dead item when I stream on twitch for my 122k followers. Thanks for this $2600 dollar paper weight, much appreciated.
