Allen & Heath Xone: 23

I bought the Allen&Heath Xone23 because I'm slowly making the switch from CDJs to vinyl. Had a bad digital Behringer mixer before that had very bad phono preamps. With this mixer I immediately got a big upgrade in the sound quality of my set up. Not only the vinyl, but also the CDs sound a lot warmer and clearer. You can clearly hear that this is an analog mixer compared to the digital mixers you get in this price range. The mix is a lot fuller and doesn't suddenly die when you turn off a channel or EQ knob. In addition, the good-sounding filter offers a lot more options while spinning. It would have been even better if you had one per channel but unfortunately you can't expect much for this price. The external effects loop is also very interesting if you want to add pedals. It is true that it cannot be used separately from the filter. (A channel must pass through the effect and the filter and not 1 of the two if you use an external effect)

I think that all things considered this is the very best DJ mixer you can have for this price. Especially if you have a weakness for perfect sound quality.

Small fits everywhere, good buttons and sound, simple but good!

Good price/quality ratio
