Allen & Heath Xone Audiophile DJ Mixers
By James Grahame
Allen & Heath is an iconic name in the music industry. Their early hand-built consoles were used by the likes of Pink Floyd and The Who. Fast-forward thirty years and their high-end DJ mixer lineup is causing quite a stir. This is the Xone:V6, designed with the aim of creating "the highest quality club mixer ever." It offers six stereo channels, with value (tube) preamplifiers on channels 5 & 6. There are no microchips, no video displays, and no calculator-like keypads. It's all about pristine analog sound and human-friendly control.
