Allen & Heath clear winner , man I have some issues with the way you present it though ! Yes credit to you , you mention the far superior sound quality , which is obviously the most important aspect of a mixer. But you complain about it not being 4 channel , Remember youre reviewing 2 channel mixers man , and that wouldnt even be possible on any other of the mixers in this series ! imo , any good dj only needs 2 channels , 90% of the time 2 is all you need ! Also you point out the "problem" with the external effects , saying you cant stop the effects, that you need an effects unit with a dry/wet setting , man , you can just hit the "ext-on" button on the mixer , and that will stop sending audio to the effects ! Dont understand the logic there ! Credit to you though you do point out some of its good aspects , I just dont understand your negative critiques of it , for the reasons mentioned above. The build quality is amazing yes , have tried the DJM 250 and it just feels like a big ball of shite compared to the Xone 23, if anyone is reading this and in the market for a 2 channel mixer , the Xone 23 is the one ! Beauutiful feel and sound to it , just enhances the whole experience. If youre very keen on scratching then upgrade the crossfader, to get such a well made mixer for this kind of price range , its a beauty , I use a Nu-x atlantic delay and reveb pedal with it , and absolutely love my set up ! Highly reccomend
@@usdjxavi im just saying the video makers complaint about the mixer always sending sound to the effects unit , isnt a problem if you just hit the "ext-on" button on the mixer , that will stop sending audio to the effects , just hit that button whenever you want to enable / disable sending sound to the effects !
As the past owner of a DJM250, i will say its fucking great as a first sort of mixer! I bought it for 100$ from some guy trying to get rid of it in a Sam Ash... it served me well. I used it to sit in between other people's DJ gear and my speaker setup. I did run into problems running a DJM350/CDJ350 setup into it, it distorted a bit too much. the preamp for the mic is VERY sensitive and honestly shitty, also no ducking so have to manually duck the fader when you're talking. Great if you want your hands on the DJM filter sound. Get two CDJ400's for a steal and learn real non synced beatmatching with this like I did!
HI! I'm wondering what kind of external effects can work with Xone 23. I wanted to buy pioneer rmx 500 you said it not work like we can hear, but it sounds like it because effect was turn of to max right? What if I plug effect with full wet which has volume control? maybe eventide time factor? or BOSS - DD-7 | Digital Delay?
The only thing I don't like about the DJM250 filters is that their resonance is too high for my taste. The Xone let you control how much you want with a dedicated knob, though you only have one available.
+bingstar85 Actually, when you press a cue button, the meter switches to the corresponding channel. It's odd, sure, but at least it's there. A&H aren't that stupid.
+Max16032 I read a review stating otherwise, or at least that's how I read it. Thanks for correcting me there. That said, a seperate PFL meter would be nice. Now I'm torn between the xone23 and the ecler nuo 2.0.
+bingstar85 It is for each channel! When you hit cue on one channel the displayed output is the output of the cued channel. And, the sound quality is better on the AH.
+Flower of Life Not necessarily. Ecler''s sound quality is very good, some say even better than A&H. But surely on par. Their built quality is also amazing. Between those two it is just a matter of personal preference.
What's a better setup a pair of Pioneer XDJ-1000 players with a Pioneer DJM-900SRT mixer and a Pioneer DDJ-SP1 Midi Controller or a pair of Pioneer XDJ-1000 players with a Rane 62 mixers do a Pioneer DDJ-SP1 Midi Controller?
I've got an important question. I have experienced Xone 23 in the past. I used to play with Traktor. After a while i realised something. When i turned completely left the LF knob , there still existed some bass!!! When i manually did that on Traktor the LF was totally killed but on the mixer is wasn't the same!Like i said it was very easy to realise it. I tried Pioneer DJM 250 mk2 and the LF was ok!Just like the Taktor's one! I mean....What is this? I am about to buy a Xone 92 and really i don't know if this happens also on Xone 92. Can you help me on this please? Thanks!
On Traktor you can go into the settings, and into the mixer section, and change the EQ type. Try changing those settings. Hope you get the problem solved with the 23 and not have it with the 96
A personal decision. Maybe in a manual of music you will find the answer. Sellers and teachers sell items they don't like be at you learning by your way
Great review! QUESTION: Whats the difference between 23 and 250? Just Louder or better audio Quality? Where can I found a sound comparison? The 23 doesn't have THRU CROSSFADE? How can you disable it? THANKS!
Hi, if a cross fader doesn't have a 'THRU' option you can get around this by simply leaving the fader in the middle when you're mixing & just using the channel faders...voila!
Personally for me, i hate the sound of the pioneer. I have the djm250 and the highs are really harsh. I had not noticed until i had used another mixer for a couple of months and when i used my djm250 again it sounded really really harsh on high frequencies. I currently paying for a xone23. My reason for this is sound quality and that is my only reason. The djm250 feels really nice to use, really nice but then so do allen & heath mixers
What is your opinion on Amercian Audio MXR 10 or 14 mixer compare to Allen&Health Xone 23-C Can you do review on them I real like how you review stuff.
Good Video! I Have a question, Can I use the audio 2 dj from traktor with the xone 23 and one traktor x1 ? or Do I need the audio 4 dj? . Response would be highly highly appreciated.
Can you please explain how you set up the Audio 6 to the xone 23 to your monitors? I've been stuck on this problem for weeks. someone please help. I have the Traktor Scratch Audio 6 interface, xone 23 mixer, and 2 krk rokit 5's. Would appreciate if anyone could help
plenty of reasons, actually. do your research. there are known issues with the phono levels and a&h have never done anything about the units that it affects. xoneforum.allen-heath.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7372&title=low-phono-levels the channel faders are also loose on some units. xoneforum.allen-heath.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7265&title=loose-fader-knobs and then there's what's mentioned in this video. just the dumb, silly things they do. why no phono / line switches? doesn't matter for vinyl like you said but most people need them. why should a consumer have to solder shit to fix this?! idiots sitting at a&h. absolute idiots. they just do this shit for the sake of it, just to be different. more on that sort of stuff here (notice how they give the silent treatment): xoneforum.allen-heath.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7493&title=i-really-dont-understand-some-stuff-around-ah i didn't even know about the crossfade fuck up mentioned in this video! i would call that flat out faulty. at least they've come some distance since putting gain controls on the *back* of the mixer LOL

Did u resolve this? Curious about the new Boss space echo peddles
Quality vid mate, was helpful for me as a beginner
Why don’t you just put the pioneer effects on the main xlr outputs...? If it doesn’t have a 100% wet setting then that’s how it’s intended!
because then you cant run effects on just one channel. For some people that's ok, for other not. It is , how ever, totally possible.
Would soooo love if you reviewed the Xone DB4 :) Love your vids man!

The only thing I don't like about the DJM250 filters is that their resonance is too high for my taste. The Xone let you control how much you want with a dedicated knob, though you only have one available.
Max16032 mk2 has a resonance control :)

You can always hook up an extra divice on the return if you want :D
I was very close to getting the xone 23, then realised the LED meter is for the master, not each channel.

Big up Chris... ROCKIN UP TECHTOOLS
Wish I'd seen this before getting the Xone:23, as this is exactly how I felt about it. Fortunately, I was able to return it to get the DJM-250. :)
I sold my DIGITAL 250 and got the ANALOG 23 instead
Reason: i play vinyl
Result: much warmer ;)
A lot for my ears? 😉🤔😊
Is Xone 23 bass quality better than 250 poineer
Can I use cdjs and the xone 23 without a Laptop? Or do I have to buy the xone 23c? Thanks!
23 Will work fine with cdjs without lappy
Yes, been using CDJ's with the Xone 23 for 6 years.
Can i put a effect unit on djm 250 in one of the masters and return it to one of the aux and have a “send and return” function?
Me: I want Luca Brasi.
Mom: No, We have Luca Brasi at home*

i wish I had a dj xone:23 but is going to be covered when I don't have that
Which one is suited for trance, dance and house?

why they shorten the length of the faders on xone 23 ? I really liked more the old faders :( it really worth the upgrade from 22 to 23 ?
What is your opinion on Amercian Audio MXR 10 or 14 mixer compare to Allen&Health Xone 23-C Can you do review on them I real like how you review stuff.
Is there a generic power charger for the DJM-250? Apparently the manual says it's 5v 3A 800mA
That does not make sense. Is it 3A or is it 800mA?
SuperEmanuel98 exactly???
can you monitor levels on separate hannels with those led light meters ?
+Sile H On the AH? Yes! When you cue a channel, only that channel is displayed.
nice thnks, ive already got a second hand djm-250 for half the price of the A&H
How is the responsiveness of channel volume sliders on xone when compared to djm 250? I like chopping quickly the volume on one track when mixing :)
Is it a mixer that can eliminate clipping without a computer or without using daw or software ?
What about the bass quality of this mixer better than the 250 mk2
Are the faders as stiff as on djm mixers?
Good Video!
I Have a question, Can I use the audio 2 dj from traktor with the xone 23 and one traktor x1 ? or Do I need the audio 4 dj? . Response would be highly highly appreciated.
i want a decent sized mixer to connect with a tralktor effects thing and connect it to my mac. is there any videos to help me with that?
Does anyone knows a good two channel or more mixer with bpm counter?
Have they up graded the crossfader on the xzone23c???
Can you please explain how you set up the Audio 6 to the xone 23 to your monitors? I've been stuck on this problem for weeks. someone please help. I have the Traktor Scratch Audio 6 interface, xone 23 mixer, and 2 krk rokit 5's. Would appreciate if anyone could help
What are the audio cables you are using?
Why oh why is there no master metering on the A&H Xone 23. Thats where a mixer is for in the first place
can you connect the DJM 250 to traktor on a laptop with an interface?
hello I have a question, marking the VU meter when we sounding channel 1 and press the cue channel 2?
the VU meter mark signal channel 2?
i was along bit ago going to get that mixer at the end .good this i did not as im a scratch mix dj
On the xone 23, does setting the rmx 1000 to “send/return” mode make the phasing go away?
nope it only changes the output volume
If you use the effects in traktor with the xone & a x1 will that work?
Which mixer better sound quality 250 or xone 23
xone

No reason not to get the A&H if you play vinyl and your decks are always gonna be connected to the mixer anyway.

is there any way at all to use the rmx with the xone? D:
Also thinking about it now I thinking about Digital Delay from BOSS has dry wet control it self
