**Xone 92 - UK vs China** How much of a premium would you pay for a UK version of the 92 (if any)? I’m in the market to buy (either version) and am just trying to make sense of it all. Thx for any tips. ---

I think it’s just a cost issue to where it is manufactured. early xone mixers had the powder coated textured silver top plates. newer mixers now have a dark grey plate, like my xone 4d the 3d had the silver. iirc. a&h will supply the dark grey top plate for a mixer if requested. the only exception is the the db series styling. which I think was after they moved production. ---

You would be hard pressed to find a _new_ 92 that was made in the UK, it’s been quite a few years since they moved production to China. I have an original UK 92 (one of the first 3 into Australia) and I’m actually thinking of changing the face plate to the newer grey style because touring artists on Australian festivals won’t accept the older Silver finish, they stipulate on touring riders that they must be Grey Faced. I’m sure it’s only so that they know that they’re getting a more recently purchased one so that there is less chance of dodgy faders and pots. UK or China, they’re still considered one of the top mixers to use, either will do the right job for you. ---

I wouldn’t be surprised if they release a new model with DB4 styling like they are doing for the rest of the line of analogue mixers.
