Value For Money : Excellent
-Rackable, optional
-3 Input, 4 output, see the technical doc for more details! Attention master output (mix out) in close connection jack!)
No-effects, "only" the excellent filters A & H. .. a reference (ask Sven or Richie ^ ^)

UTILIZATION

-Everything is very well thought out on this table, it is great, the knobs are well distributed, you can find everything right away ... adaptation time is 2min!
The manual is well-screwed, but in English only! The French version is readily available on the net!

SOUNDS

-No breath detected, the sound is really clear, precise, excellent bass, it is a wonder ... you can feel that happening are a cut above the Pioneer or even Ecler (yet very good!)
The EQ-precision are monsters, and everything is done fine with their progressive curve well (same for the fader). Those who want to mix in so much finesse and progressive will be happy, you can do in the very clean!
-Only small downside, which is not really annoying to be, the EQ does not kill, meaning that the sound at max, and the mini EQ, we hear the same song played qd ... but filters and fader are for bearing all this in any case it's embarrassing!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week of intensive:

+ A & H! design! it clearly from the mouth!
+ The sound, almost perfect
+ General ergonomics (the gains on the back have it done immediately!)
+ Filters of course! Really excellent and well configurable!
+ The overall accuracy that emerges at the fader and EQ.

-EQ does not killent
Master-jack out wholesale, sniff
-The price for a trojan channels (in France: 780euros, thomann: 640euros)

In conclusion:

I had the opportunity to use a lot of mixer: DJM400, nuo2, nuo5, dnx100 ... The Xone: 32 is clearly my favorite, for sure it was worth the money, but everything is almost perfect. The sound is a marvel, and also filters (filters available so far on nuo5 or DJM400!).
The main defect of this table are more details and which accommodates any of the criteria of choice!

I would do without hesitation that choice, I even regret not having done it sooner ...
