  Kandmix's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " nice little mixer, compact and efficient"

  Characteristics

  Master in connection XLR, RCA in monitor, microphone XLR, RCA record, line / phono RCA

  Utilization

  general configuration extremely simple, no need manual. A & H wanted to keep only what is useful for a small 2-way, keeping the quality (although a little less than the 42 or 92)

  Sounds

  breath very very light. EQ pretty special, pretty criticized by other users. for me the explanation is their descent approximately-18db, we must love and know how to use a powerful Eq! Personally I find it very efficient and very friendly for the tech-house / minimal.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for over a year. I love its simplicity and small size, easy to carry! It has the famous A & H filter, overkill and very clean! Only the preview is to be desired. Too bad there is that the filter FX.
  
  I tried tables such as pioneer djm 350/400/600/800/2000 or A & H 42/92, I found the xone 22 much nicer than any pio even if the 800 is fairly complete. (2000 is too gadget)
  
  the xone 42 and 92 are of better quality but will not equal the price / quality ratio of the xone 22, accessible to all, whether for beginners or as a 2nd mobile table for a confirmed dj!
  
  
  
  I would do this choice without hesitation.

  Phil7292's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Product reserved for serious use "amateur""

  Characteristics

  Or other notices to the general description
  
  The knobs are quality
  
  Only a single integrated effect
  
  Part no assedz quiet preamp (a little out of breath).
  
  Value just right

  Utilization

  other than simple connectivity artery somewhat limited

  Sounds

  Not as good as hoped
  
  This model is an entry-Allen & Heath, the preamp part is just average. It is not up to the reputation of that mark.

  Overall Opinion

  SIMP and reliable product: it is the reason why I chose him, so completely satisfied.
  
  Is not suitable for use with high-end gear due to internal electronics a little cheap = not suitable for professional use.

  Mantom's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " No doubt the A & H"

  Characteristics

  See below

  Utilization

  super simple, no need of manual

  Sounds

  The EQ is effective without any worries, no problem as I have read, the only downside of this table is the preview, whatever .. Sound A & H is the appointment.

  Overall Opinion

  I've since its release and I ts is the worst day or every 2 days, no worries fiabilitée or cross remains in the hands, the stuff is like the rest, it takes care pas.Je or not you'd be advised to try to buy from you even before, when the false arguments of the assembly in China, we must know that the new generation of table A & H, both the xone 22, 42 or even 92, they are all assembled in China, so .....
  
  Compared this table has a vestax is the madness, when has the nuo 2 (this crap), I died laughing.

  kepon47's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Do not buy!"

  Characteristics

  See below.

  Utilization

  Easy to use.

  Sounds

  EQ suck!
  
  When cutting the mids but that leaves the lower one continues to hear, in part, the medium. Difficult to mix in these conditions!
  
  No one but his breath for low metallic very unpleasant!

  Overall Opinion

  I only used one day, I gave it directly in its box for the return to the seller!
  
  
  
  I tried before: ecler (nuo2.3 and 5), vestax, or the Rodec xone 42 but no report!
  
  How Allen & Heath could leave such a stew?
  
  It's really dirty name as many brands are already low-end tables of this kind ...
  
  
  
  The +:
  
  Very nice table, easy to use.
  
  
  
  the -:
  
  Its horrible, EQ idem.
  
  I forgot also the headphone is disastrous ...
  
  
  
  It is on it is not very expensive but that should not buy even if you are new!
  
  Better in the same price range a vestax 2 channel (XLU) for example.
  
  
  
  I wanted to test that gave the first prize of Allen and I'll bite your fingers ...
  
  Hard to believe that the same manufacturer makes xone 42 or 92.
  
  
  
  Race Results I bought a xone 42 ...

  boing_poum_tchak's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  See other com '

  Utilization

  Mix house and techno.

  Sounds

  See below

  Overall Opinion

  Then I switch to a table Ecler NUO 2.0 two ways for it, because everything had Ecler nickel (compact EQ top, killer of freq, insert effects, 2 channels + 1), but too short race at the faders. To mix hip-hop ok, but the house that ncessite the transition smooth, impossible.
  
  
  
  I prcise I have this table for 9 months.
  
  
  
  So I opt for the cheap XONE22 in price, and sometimes ... cheap to use. Assembled in China, the finish leaves DSIR (LEDs not straight, and once I have left the crossfader in hand ...). I'm not a fan of EQ. It seems that when you cut the bass, there is also a mdium end of that bar. When you cut gently mdium was a sizeable drop in gain and fast.
  
  
  
  But worse, the pompom, so that more and more I use it myself I want to spare (but no money to invest in a mixer at the moment, so it takes evil patience) is the preview headphone! What is the fucking shit! Has never seen before, you have to turn a knob of channel 1 channel 2, and when you're in the middle, to hear the two discs, the sound volume decreases! Which means the impossibility of knowing if the two disks are same volume (less than the gain back of the headphone, which is trs boring, and if you forget to back down, when you train you switch on a channel, the sound you pte mouth).
  
  
  
  The only thing is the filter apprciable. To cuss low (subtly) it's perfect. But there again, when you press the button to activate its effect on a track, you hear a little "plop" not gnial ... And if you want to add a reverb effect collection outdoor type, and it is the bah dtriment of that!
  
  
  
  Ultra cheap, but we know why sometimes.
  
  
  
  I do not have that choice would do.

  Utilization

  I use it with two PDX 2300 MKII PRO, the manual is clear, the functions are simple.

  Sounds

  The xone is transparent, there is no breath on the master but a light in the headphone.
  
  
  
  The equalizer is the strong point of this table, it is very effective.

  Overall Opinion

  The sound of this mixer is great, it has the potato. I mix hip hop, dance hall and dub electro and really is the top. well-sour estimating the sound quality is subjective, it must still know how to set the EQ and a system of broadcast quality.
  
  
  
  It is true that to reach this price they removed the settings of the scales and sliders but connectivity is the best in the segment with a monstrous (monitor, record, fx loop, XLR out).
  
  
  
  For me the weak point is the cross but I expect him to put a pro innofader, which should make it a beast mix and scratch.
  
  
  
  + + + Price, sound, eq
  
  --- Cross.

  romarchitek's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " own particular sound but"

  Characteristics

  ...

  Utilization

  ...

  Sounds

  the equalizer is effective but leave the table very particular sound which for me does not suit me.

  Overall Opinion

  I've used one week after I've returned
  
  bah j ai mix on TBLE rodec rane ecler
  
  
  
  Most:
  
  look
  
  finishes
  
  ergonomics
  
  effectiveness of the equalizer in the medium acute
  
  its price
  
  Least:
  
  particular sound
  
  low enough
  
  PFL headphone
  
  I mix lots of styles: drum and bass trance electro tekno hardtekno, I think the bass is bcp too dry and just a little look at medium frequencies (I mix on fostex pm1). I would say that she is pr mix of trance because the sounds are really very own but that it takes the low J was disappointed ... There is no warmth and roundness as one might find in the range ecler Nuo example ...
  
  Something that Annoyed me more particularly was the preview of the headphone ...
  
  Accustomed to the nuo or there is pr switches select channel 1 or 2 or 2 or a knob of the bah level was only "the option knob (dsl I is not the technical vocabulary) and c is lousy because when we selected, for example Track 1 "alone" was a sound level bcp greater than if one listens to the two lane mm tps (therefore requiring two knobs to manipulate each time to stall pr)
  
  AC was good if not go the ergonomics are very good, a great quality of workmanship and finish and look of hell ... but pr me she misses the point ...
  
  the money is pretty good because we have here a good quality product but it does not fit my ears ... I've returned to my dealer and I have my reccup nuo2 ...
  
  Avc the experience he would never cross my mind to try al one day buy a Xone22.

  gontie's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " not"

  Characteristics

  Already written below.

  Utilization

  The table is very simple and intuitive to use, comfortable in many developed (along the faders, buttons pleasant, the table is well spaced), but for me it is really disturbing for some points those who like to mix in the headphones.
  
  
  
  When you want to spend listening to a channel to another quickly the headphone volume is high overcharged. Then if you go to listen to two songs simultaneously in the headphone volume down by half automatiquement.Ca I do not like at all.
  
  
  
  Finally, if we pass the cue to the master, boom, is an impressive gain in volume in the headphones.
  
  
  
  In short, mix in the headphones with so many changes of volumes is not nice and not easy.
  
  
  
  Another unpleasant thing but it is still a matter of taste, and the two volume buttons (gain) are too sensitive. In other words, put the gain knob at minimum, there is simply no sound going out. I use quite often the volume buttons to suddenly increase the volume of a song and decrease the volume of another song. do this with so sensitive buttons is not easy.
  
  We can compare it to mix with a pitch instead of 16 +8, it is possible but we can not love or lose the marks.

  Sounds

  Since the release of this table, I hear mostly about the authentic sound of this table. As someone said to AF, is the best way anyway to test a mixer. I mix of Trance and progressive sound that comes out like it at all. Yet Youtube videos with the Xone I listened.
  
  
  
  I usually listen to my MP3 directly and after a few weeks to listen to the mixes made with these songs. I did the same with the Xone and sound that comes out is too different from the original, far too different. Some people like songs if there was a great salon chains surround 90s. Probably a matter of taste but I like that between the song and listened without editing what comes out of the mixer there is not too much difference.
  
  
  
  I mix with a soft place for CD's or perhaps the difference lies.

  Overall Opinion

  I thoroughly tested for 7 days and I listen to the recording for two weeks to get an idea. To give me an idea of comparison, I made some even sets my Vestax VMC 002.
  
  
  
  Most
  
  * The table is very well organized and large overcharged for 2 channel.
  
  * It is visually stunning.
  
  * Filter, very nice
  
  * Two headphone outputs, but rarely use anyway nice.
  
  
  
  Least
  
  - I do not like the sound at all but the tastes and colors.
  
  - Management of headphones, the volume changes depending on the configuration is very destabilizing and not pleasant for those who mix in their headphones.
  
  - The gain button is far too effective but again is a matter of taste.
  
  
  
  So it's a great mixer but I hang at all. Matter of taste;)
  
  
  
  Before that I had a table JB systems (what horror) an IMG Stageline (a disaster) and a VMC 002. I stay home for now even though my previous Vestax table dropped after two years of service.
  
  
  
  I hang

  I received it today, I edit my post in several months to confirm or not my appreciations
  
  
  
  Did you try many other models before getting this one?
  
  I tested DJM 400/600/800, Sync SMX-2, DJX 700 (I owned before)
  
  
  
  What thing do you like most/least about it?
  
  The pros:

  The -:
  
  - Not possible to disable the crossfader, but we made it to disable it would have been nice
  
  - No master level meter
  
  - No push button to the preview, but what is good is when you put the volume pot in the center of PFL can listen to his mix in advance
  
  
  
  What is your opinion about the value for the price?
  
  Definitely the best price / quality ratio of the market, this table is far better than a Pioneer DJM 400 is for 100/150 € less.
  
  
  
  Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
  
  Sometimes twice a day!

  ben_z's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Very good mixer for the price"

  Characteristics

  Comprehensive connectivity for the price (master XLR, RCA monitor with adjustable gain, Record RCA, XLR microphone, fx loop)
  
  
  
  HIPASS filter / lopass + button to the choice of Q.
  
  
  
  cue by knob mix (very handy!)
  
  
  
  no crossfader reverse, suddenly not suitable for scratch, but it's not the point here.

  Utilization

  very simple, it is taken in hand soon. everything is very well placed. compared with the xone 32 she fell immediately at hand and is much more readable. honestly, I have not been packed by 32 and that's not counting the price difference.

  Sounds

  EQ fairly linear filter really great. Good headroom and not much wind.
  
  bargraph really screwed up: channel or master (similar to cue) with 3 colors: green (strongest) blue (good!) red (not good!)
  
  
  
  compared with a DJM400 is much more pleasant to grip and it really sends the dough on a big front!
  
  
  
  Having the hands Korg KM-202, Numark 5000FX, Pioneer DJM400/DJM600, Eclerc Nuo 2, Amix RMC 35 ... for the price, the Xone 22 is really worth.

  Overall Opinion

  Two negative points:
  
  assemble a little cheap caps fader. They stand in fairly easily. are ways to better secure them, but it is rather to A & H to do the production ...
  
  
  
  The filter is a big "click" if it engages on a kick or snare. it's just a habit, do not trigger a peak.
  
  
  
  other than that, this mixer sounds great, is cheap and is very well thought out. to see over time ...
