The 92 definitely has its quirks. I guess you’re right about the cue/addmix knob……I just never thought there’d be a reason to want to be anywhere between 50/50 and 100% mix. I only use the 100% cue to 50/50 half of mine unless i just jam it over to 100% mix.
Man…that’s hard to explain.
Yeah I forgot the 92 was a little different and wasn’t like the 4D and all the new a&h mixers where right is 100% mix. You just had to deselect the cue button to hear 100% mix.
@MaxOne, well, let’s say unusual. I’ll go with cue/master being a fader instead of a knob, only having one set of leds (vs. channel leds + master leds), having to press the cue/main switch below it to display your cued levels , that definitely caught me off guard. At least the full master preview is just that, unlike on the 92 as mentioned (that and the post eq switch caught me off guard the first time I had to play on one!). It was a few months ago so I don’t remember if the cue monitoring is pre/post EQ.
But I guess when you’ve transitioned from the regular/easy way of monitoring like on pioneer, behringers, eclers… etc to A&H you can totally get used to it.
Plus the empath has shitloads of options on it, it’s a bit of a xone 92 meets ecler nuo 3.0. You even get a choice of fader caps, my mates had the rubber kit on, maybe a little squishier than Kontrol X1 fx knobs 
edit : speaking of unusual monitoring, the 92’s manual suggests using the fx sends + cue aux 1/2 switches for extra flexibility.
[quote]You can use the Aux mix to cue your music
when beat or cut mixing. Set all sends pre-fade and
select the headphones monitor AUX switch to listen
to the selected channels. This lets you listen to the
effect of mixing the sources or matching the beat
before you bring it into the house mix.[/quote]
I’ll have to give that a shot)
Ok cheers mate. Must admit i’m still fundamentally undecided…
I think the truth is I was so used to my DJM800 everything else seems a little illogical or a “workaround”. Also it just did make total sense tbh.
I’m getting RGAS flashes of the DJM900 in my mind a bit now… bit of a mental swerve ball im throwing myself!?
