…seen that booth before, v cool setup. Club is called Jæger in Oslo- choice of Xone92 or ARS 4100 with twin Isonoe isolators.

Would still like to know how the cabling switches over!?

    …similar setup here. Little surprise Andy Rigby-Jones is behind the custom switching solution

    XZ is worth the stretch for sure. I’ve used it in countless venues / house parties and whether amateur or professionals turn up they can just feel comfortable and crack on. No questions or adjusting to different sized platters.

    I’ll bet by the time the year is out there will be a sequel / mark ii to the XZ.

    If it interacts directly with the RB-DMX lighting system like the CDJ-3000 does I will be buying it.

    Ps. Anyone with a new XZ, stay on firmware 1.22 (not 1.23) as there is a wav file error bug they created in the update which they haven’t ironed out yet.

    Firmware 1.22 has been absolutely solid here.

    So it is. Raggy was there with B. Traits awhile back and claimed it’s a custom made rotary. Shows what he knows!

    Anyway that was the first time I came aware of the club. They also have a Function 1 sound (including the monitors).

      Old-Dutch It doesn’t mention that they are recycled, but yeah, possibly.

        Can’t understand why in this day and age we’d create more throwaway lanfill

        Just bought an Allen & Heath PX5, looking forward to having a play with it

          Nice. I’ve never seen one in person but they look / spec nicely and some friends online swear by them.

          The way I’ve seen them I’m surprised they aren’t more popular.

              NasserAlazzawi logical step up from the 42 ive had for the last 12 years. Added efx will be a bonus too.

                I’ve had one since it was released. No complaints whatsoever. The rec output went kaput earlier this year, but my coworker checked it out. He just needed to replace a 1,8 € component inside the mixer. Handy to have a repairman nearby, the guy is also fixing other friend’s really expensive vintage synth at the moment.

                @Homegrove so you don’t use USB to pc/Mac to record then and just use the rec out?

                  Homegrove aaah right, fair point… I bought a new Tascam soundcard last year and am loathed to not use it. Might use the usb for Ableton on the laptop then

                    I hate usb audio channels with a passion. Tascam all the way here too.

                    As it happens tascam sounds better from master or booth on XZ compared with its internal usb stick rec on usb 2, too.

                    • erik replied to this.

                      Yeah, I figured it records better audio than my crappy laptop. And I’m so used to it. Even when I played with Traktor I never used the internal record, and now that I play mostly with the XDJs and USB sticks it’s not an option anyway.

                      NasserAlazzawi I run my soundcard off the booth currently, will continueto do so for the foreseeable future I think

                        Very unexpected surprise landed today, so finally pulled the trigger on;

                        Been trying to convince myself I will benefit from the extra flexibility. In reality will probably just complicate things too much for me!

                        Will be fun trying though, and figured will hold value relatively well if I can’t use it
