    Don't fall into the UK-made 92 myth. It's utter rubbish, for so many reasons.

    What are some of the reasons?

    Having spoken to several people at A&H about it, I have to choose my words carefully. The biggest one is that people have no idea how few UK built 92s actually got made. Anyone who says they preferred the sound of the UK ones is most likely talking crap, since they're fairly rare.

    Another is that newer 92s actually have better components, since older parts have had to be replaced as end-of-line.

    Default Connecting the Bozure 201 to the PX5 master insert

    Hi,

    Could you help me with connecting my bozure to the px5 master insert please as there is only 1 trs connection for both left and right. I have a stereo Y cable but can’t get it to work properly. I know it’s been a long time since those post.

    Thank you.

    Okay, so it doesn't have 4 eq pots, 2 filters, or 2 aux channels w' faders, but that
    doesn't mean it's a bad mixer.

    The I/O is just astounding, imo. I have (2) CDJs, (2) Techs, (1) K2 controlling Ableton/Traktor
    which are running via the on-board soundcard. I just purchased a Teil1 Keinedelay to run through
    the send/return. I also ordered a Bozure Isolator that will run through the Insert channel. While I'm
    not particularly fond of the on-board Delay EFX (a little too metallic for my taste), I am absolutely in love
    w' the on-board Reverb EFX. Hence, the reason I bought the Teil1 Keinedelay. There's also the luxury of
    playing the on-board EFX at the same time as the external EFX, if you so wished. I also LOVE the fact that
    I can use the crossfader as a wet/dry pot for the EFX. Having that soundcard built in just makes connecting
    everything so much easier/cleaner! Occasionally, I hook up my Korg Minilogue and use the PX5's MIDI Clock
    to keep everything on time. Other notables are the clarity of the level meters, the EQ resolution is super clean,
    and the button/knob placement is clean....doesn't feel crowded to me.

    Don't listen to the naysayers, this is a DOPE mixer! That said, I would prefer a hybrid
    of the 92 & PX5, but w' (2) on-board soundcards like Pioneer & Rane have. That would
    be one helluva' mixer! So long as it sounded more like the PX5, not the 92. The PX5's
    sound quality is just so much warmer....especially with vinyl!

    Come on, A&H, give us the mixer to rule them all.
