Why is a Xone 92 w/ rackmount a €100 cheaper than one without a rackmount ?

In other words what is the difference between the 2 92s with faders (not the rotary) on this page?

Including rackmount:

Without:

For a better overview just search Xone 92 on that site, it’s difficult to link search results.

On another site they sell xone 92 rackmounts for €50 each.

Why the price difference ?

Probably because noone ever wants the rackmount model so they’re struggling to shift them. Also the non-rackmount has an extra offer attached.

Yea, I did notice that.

But isn’t the rackmount just a part that you yourself can screw on instead of a preinstalled feature.
I tried to find some decent pics of 92s with a rackmount, but I didn’t really find any definitive clear picture.

Do you think the rackmount is that much less desirable ?

The rackmount will likely not be attached in the box, and is just something you screw onto the sides of any Xone 92.

The one with the rackmount is used?

This is how the 92 looks with the mount ears attached:

this

"Item with small signs of usage, packaging used"

More like a B-stock item that may have been opened rather than a fully used item. Otherwise they wouldn’t include a 3 year warranty.

To be precise.

I went with a new one :slight_smile:
