      @@allanalogallnite Well the setup part depends on the gear you want to use with these channel. Just replace the word Send with Output and Return with Input...It might help you understand the concept better. 2 cables from your Send 1 go to the input of your FX unit or any piece of equipement you want. Then, 2 cables go from the output of your unit back into the Return 1 of your mixer. Djtechtools usually have the best videos in terms of complex setup. The same principle is used for the 92, but you have a little less control over the shaping aspect of the sound returning in your 92... I can't really search some good videos for your atm just search a little through youtube. Hope it helped.

    You’ll literally never want to use another mixer after being used to an Allen & Heath like this, but I cannot get over how bad this guy is at explaining and demonstrating what and how you can play.
    Maybe Audio Technica are anti Allen & Heath or something.
    The main difference from the 92 is that this has an audio interface. The 4 band eq, filters are lovely to play with, the send and returns are great if you want to use and external effects.
    When he changed from the vinyl to traktor, he’s changing from line to phono. I dunno why he had them on the same channel, as obviously it would have made sense to show how you could mix records and traktor with the turneys on a phone channel 2, traktor on channel 3.
    The guy showed fuck all, didn’t demonstrate the power of those world famous filters competently, didn’t explain or show the eq, seemed more excited about the effects pedal. I get being anxious on camera, but he didn’t do this mixer or the company of Allen and Heath any favours here.
    He’s either really anxious, or not a long time Dj.
    Sorry to be harsh but that was a shit demonstration.
    Crossfader you should do an actual demo and review of this and compare / explain the differences and addition to the 92. I wish Allen& Heath would make an up to date xone all in one controller. Maybe they can’t work with rekordbox s pioneer are their direct competitors.
    If u can afford it, get an Allen and Heath Xone. Literally pisses all over pioneer mixers, despite them being the clear leaders for the cdj xdj market

      I agree. I didn"t understand the part where he said you could have 4 turntables connected. Cant you do that with any 4 channel mixer? Then he also acted like the xone 96 is the only mixer you can plug external effects processor.

    That ''one cue only'' almost made me hit those cue buttons down to the floor when I was thrown in booth when the playing DJ had an acute situation. I always mix in my head phones using the cue's on those channels, and I couldn't understand why it wouldn't let me. It IS the only way to know the tracks are 100% lined up and who are A&H to decide for me how I wanna play. Since that day, I've never looked again on any A&H mixer. If there's one quirk, there's usually more, and I can't have that. Good to see there's a new mode on the 96.

      @@charles-andrerichard491 Ha ha ha, you're funny. Real DJ.... what are your credentials? Nothing to show for on your channel as all trolls and wannabees. Being a DJ for 36 years and I've had it as my full time job for many of those years up until the pandemic. That's probably more real than you will ever even get close to. I've achieved everything I used to dream about as a DJ and beyond and really don't care how REAL that makes me. I get more gig offers than most DJ's, real or not, and that's all that matters. I'm in a position where I chose to use any gear I want, and my current Pioneer DJ NXS2 setup will be good enough for a year or more, and then I'll consider what my next choice will be.
      No reason to learn something I will never ever use. There's nothing about the Xone92/96 series that suites or interest me and it's a brand pretty much non existing where I live. I know enough to know why I don't want to use it, and it's probably the same reason no one else around here does either. It's got nothing to do with not being able to use it, but about what I could do with it that I can't do with what I have.
      Do you really don't think I'd learn how to use a Xone92/96 if I had any interest in using one?
      I've been using pretty much every known brand and popular model of mixers for 36 years, and some of them, like the old 80's Numarks & LEM mixers, or the DJM-2000 for that matters, which I have one, is more complicated to use than at least the XONE 92/96 series. The DB-series I'd consider more of a challenge, but again, they don't exist around here. The only reason I yet know about them is because I'm a tech nerd and like to learn tech specs on all gear within my area of interest. The same goes for Formula Sound mixers, which I've never ever seen or heard about anyone using i-r-l, and they make everything else in the analoge world of mixers seem like toys, including the Xone-series, from what I understand, and according to the price tag.
      Good luck for me I don't care much for the analog mixers as I only play digital music now. Except for the rare occasion I play real vinyl on nostalgic events, but for those events I still have a few classic Numark and Phonic 19'' analog mixers I can use. They bring the analog sound with some hiss and noise that's a must for a true nostalgia event. Expected, required and good enough for me.

      If you press several cue buttons at the same time, you can hear all the channels at once. But if you just press one button at a time, the previous one disappears. So next time you are out playing on an Xone 96a and want to mix multiple channels in the headphones. Press all the buttons at the same time. ua-cam.com/video/8KkaHShmBAA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Xonedjofficial ua-cam.com/video/8KkaHShmBAA/v-deo.html

    It does sound great, however mine has different L/R channel levels on 3 out of 4 channels. I have recorded video here: ua-cam.com/video/YX9A82SAm2M/v-deo.html visualising the problem. I find it unacceptable on a flagship mixer from 2019. Unfortunately it is going back to the shop for a replacement . I have contacted Allen Heath regarding this issue - They think this is within limit but i am not happy with it. I have asked for a replacement - they are asking me to reach out the seller or distributor instead of resolving the issue directly which is a shame really - seller doesn't have it in stock (i will have to wait about two weeks for fresh stock) and i want that replaced instead of being repaired. I really like it but I can't accept this fault in a nearly £1500 mixer. If next unit will have the same issue i am switching to different brand.

    I am sorry to say that this was a really bad track on the turntable for demoing a mixer. Even myself would have been better at demonstrating the gear. My god this was so unclear because of this littl bit weird sounding track. Totally unclear what exactly the H9 was doing to the track! So unfortunate because I was counting on this review of the great crossfader channel.

      Yes, don't assign the Crossfader to any channel and it will do nothing
