Mad_Cyril At the end of the day all have great features, the most important thing is whether you think it looks nice!!

Along_the_Wire once you can take nice pictures is all that matters, fuck knows how to use any of it
Exactly chaps
With the Denons you can also change the colour of the flashing lights.

…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.
Best of luck with this… doesn’t say how much it weighs…
What a load of bollix
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?
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.
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

On their website but can’t grab off me phone (2nd pic along)

More logical than Radius! Mate’s got one, been meaning to go give it a try for ages, but he’s vinyl only, and I a) don’t want to drag my players to his home, or b) go through my vinyl and pack a bag.

Guess habits a big factor, your view is because you are used to a different approach
The Radius has actually taught me some basic principles. Balancing the filters and the pots just works.
I’d have spent years pissing about with extra eq’s before I figured it out. Also stops you trying to mash tracks that are really in complimentary.
So much easier to do with only 2 knobs to play with 
Deadly fair play mate, looks a excellent mixer, think at some point I’ll buy a radius 2 they look such a good mixer
…very nice, although going from one to the other I’d miss the simplicity of mixing with the HPF.
I guess in an ideal world, you’d have both (like the Rane MP2015), but given a binary choice, I’d go HPF > EQ tbh.
…only time I ever really touch an EQ is if a track is so poorly mixed/recorded it needs tweaking in some way (happens rarely these days).
For me when mixing, the subtractive nature of the HPF and a little boost of channel fader is really all I need.
Different techniques man, I use the equ aggressively, and if there is no high pass filter I miss it.
Mad_Cyril Interested in what extra flexability you get from this new mixer compaired to your old?
Unbroken1 I can’t seem to work with the filter. One for retirement when I’ve loads of time - I like the the aggressiveness of EQs live too.
