The Allen and Heath DJ Mixer ID thread

[frankle]

I've currently got an original Mk1 Xone:464 ... it had Master "Faders" instead of the Master "Pots" (yes, there are a pair of stereo Masters). There was also a Xone:62 with a Master "Fader" but I don't have one of these. From what I gather these 2 models were the first that A&H made. The silver pictures of the 464 & 62 above are the Xone2:464 and Xone2:62.

I also have the one of the first 3 Xone:92's to get to Australia. The Importer kept 1 for trade shows till good stocks arrived, a shop in Sydney got one and so did I (I work in a shop in Melbourne). I still use it each week, an awesome mixer!

I also had a Xone:4D but it was all Silver ... sold it before I got stuck into controllers properly, looking back at it now it was probably the best mixer that I have ever had and would suit me perfectly these days ... I now use my 92 and a pair of X1's with Traktor.

The digital-geek side of me is hoping that A&H will release a nice update for the DB series :crossing fingers: before the end of the year.

I got a DB2 a few months ago and I love it. What do you mean when you say 'update'? The firmware/OS, or the actual hardware?

[CKsoundmachine]

I'm guessing the firmware/OS.

Damm dude your like a member of A&H royalty!! Throw a few sweet pics on here!!

That V6 is something else.. Quite sexy for it's time.

Have a DB4 here but unfortunately it had an accident and the channel A looper knob was knocked off (long story). Slowly over time my DB4 is having issues powering up and such due to what I think is something being grounded that shouldn't be. DB4 is going back for repair friday.

In the meantime a 92 is on the truck waiting for delivery so I am anxious to get back to 4 band eq's for a while!!

Nice thread 031999!

On a somewhat related note, any DB2/Mac owners have problems with audio dropouts? Allen & Heath supposedly released updated BETA drivers at the link below, but it just takes you to the older/buggy drivers. Anyone had any luck?

Also, @ DarioJ, you mentioned the "For Sale" section in relation to Xones. What trend were you noticing?

Alot of DB4's and DB2's up for sale lately.

Not sure why though.

You'd be correct. It's been 10 months since the last update. I understand that they want to release a good update, so patience is key.

There are a few DB series up for sale (3 in the past month), all at great prices though.

This thread reminds me of the gear p0rn thread, what ever happened to that..

[DarioJ]

The Setup forum was created. Maybe we should start a new gear slut/lust thread. Wait, that's a horrible idea.
