Allen & Heath Xone: DB4 mixer vs Xone: 4D
Which one takes the show?
Db4 hands down, I’ve never wanted/needed to use 4d.
But I want to upgrade to the db4, I think it could be the best mixer out there at the moment
This thread should really be moved to general disc…mods??!
They are entirely different beasts.
They are pretty similar the only difference is
The 4d is a xone 92 with a couple of 2d’s stuck on,
The db4 has got the fx and no jogs and maybe a few pots less than the 4d,
but you can assign quite a lot of the buttons and pots on the db4 via midi
and use them to control Traktor
OH and the xone 4d has got more sliders…but apart from that 
the 4d has playable midi controls where the midi controls on the db4 look like an after thought or something they just added to their effects buttons. i own a 4d and its very nice. i dont think there are enough similarities to actually compare the two one is an effects mixer with midi (db4) the other is a playable midi mixer without effects.
Anyway I would buy the DB4 over the 4D for what I want
