Xone 92 vs Rotary Mixers

[Reticuli]

i'd imagine he would suggest the djm-900nxs2 or maybe the db2/4.

My issue is that they don't provide enough channels for what i need. When we do our techno night (cheeky plug: https://www.facebook.com/bleephudds/) i use five channels for my mixing, plus we need an extra for plugging in another dj controller. There are no six channel digital club mixers.

@reticuli And what are those mixers that you would suggest?

How many channels you need? And only vinyl?

[BAsWillems]

I only need two channels.

I only need two channels.

And you're only using vinyl?

[BAsWillems]

Yep!

You'll get the best sound and a rotary feel from the mp2014, but you'd get nearly the same sound from some used $50 2ch 24 bit Numark fader mixer.

This couldn't be further from the truth in my experience. I've been playing on the MP2015 for close to a year now. The first couple times I played on it, I noticed a much cleaner signal from it compared to the DJM T1, 800, and 900 which I owned and played on all the time. Then, I started noticing that while playing on the other mixers, something was definitely off with the sound. 9 months later, I enjoy the sound noticeably less than the 2015, and that's on decent sound systems and in my home. That Rane is a masterpiece. I questioned my sanity on selling off so much equipment to get that (instead of starting my modular synth), but it's easily the best mixer I've ever played on.

Why not go for a Xone 92 Rotary? that mixer comes in a rotary version.... Don't fall for the newer rotary mixers, they're just taking the rotary idea & making cheaper versions of them. Find a GOOD one, like an old school Urei, Bozak, or an Alpha (link below)

Why the model 9000 is not on the site?

If I were buying a mixer for that, I'd look real hard at the mp2014 and the djr400 for a handful of reasons.

If you're going for "sound quality" meaning "as close as I can get to what the mastering engineer heard when he was done", digital is superior.

If you're going for something else, it depends a lot on your ears and the sound system.

The xone mixers do have a distinct sound, but it's not night & day to my ears.

I finally splurged and bought myself an mp2016 a few years ago and love it. It's very transparent (the 2014 is more so) and just a joy to mix on.

After owning both Rane (2016) & A&H (UK-made 62), I'd buy the Rane again but not the A&H.

The djr 400, otoh, is just a thing of beauty. I really wish I could shoehorn it into my setup, but I feel like they'd kill me for ordering own without any preamps.
