Although it's a little more pricey at around £750, I don't think you can beat the Allen & Heath Xone 62 if you are in Britain and are looking at mixing either techno or electro.
1. They're built to last and can take a fairly hefty amount of abuse. 2. Penny & Giles crossfader 3. Separate filters on assignable channels. 4. 4 Band EQ - the EQs don't get too hot after 1 o'clock either. 5. Probably in the UK the standard club mixer now for techno nights. 6. The after sales customer service is second to none. I had a fault with mine, sent it to A&H, they returned it in under 4 days. Toby www.bleep43.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew L.
