Notes: Mid-range DJ mixer from the leading UK brand. Fully analogue four-channel design with A&H's much-loved Xone filter section. Very tempting alternative to the flagship Xone:96. Excellent value.

Supplier notes:
Created for DJs and electronic music purists, Xone:43 is a 4+1 channel DJ mixer that offers the very best of analogue audio quality, including the legendary Xone filter with resonance control, 3 band EQ, crossfader with three curve settings and X:FX for send/return to your favourite FX unit.

The crossfader has three switchable curve settings for blending or scratching styles and can be easily replaced or upgraded to a custom Innofader for ultimate crossfader performance.

With balanced XLR main outputs, independent booth and record outputs, Xone:43 excels in the club and in high end personal DJ setups.

Notes: Great value mid-range rotary mixer from Omnitronic, a big step up from the popular TRM-202. Large format two-channel design, featuring three-band channel EQs, master isolator, multi-mode filter and dedicated channel VU meters.

Supplier's Notes:
Rotary in its most beautiful form: Omnitronic TRM-222

With the TRM-222, Omnitronic presents an analogue rotary mixer that has been developed with direct feedback from the community.

Proven features have remained

Like its predecessors, the TRM-222 is equipped with a 3-band master frequency isolator, which uses classic ALPS rotary potentiometers (Blue Velvet RK27) for precise sound control. The kill characteristic allows bass, midrange and treble to be completely cancelled out, giving DJs creative freedom in shaping their sound.

The switchable filter section with HPF, BPF, LPF, resonance and sweep controls allows creative processing of the frequency bands. Two stereo input channels with gain control, clip LED, 3-band EQ and phono/line switching as well as a microphone input channel with gain control, 2-band EQ and on-air switch extend the mixer's range of applications. The LED level display for the master signal (L+R) and cue signal provide a good overview.

New functions at the request of users

During the further development of the mixer, great importance was attached to feedback from the community. New functions such as the VU meter display per channel, dipswitches for individual adjustment of the EQ curve and a booth output (XLR or RCA) with 2-band EQ and volume control testify to the sophisticated functionality of the TRM-222. At the request of the fans, the mixer now has a crossfader in VCA technology with adjustable crossfade characteristics, an adjustable send-return effect path and an adjustable record-out.

In addition, the TRM-222 offers two direct outputs for timecode applications and a variety of outputs: Master and Booth (XLR/ RCA L/R), Record (RCA L/R), Master Insert Send/Return (RCA L/R) and FX In/Out (stereo jack).
