Hey guys, If I were to get a cdj setup? what mixer should I get?

I was looking along the lines of a xone 42 or a djm 600 (or 700 if I can get one cheap)

I know I want a 4 channel, that way I can have my ipod classic with all my music on it loaded on a sep deck for requests.

I was thinking prehaps a xone 42 cause of the dedicated filters (im not going to molest them) just use them to create a build up during parts of a mix + a chance to get fammiliar with allen and heath mixers, they pop up alot in photo's of dj's alot.

how about this, get a DJM400 mixer, it will be much cheaper then the xone42 and djm700...and the DJM600 is around the same price but its not that good of a mixer

and your ipod idea will still work with the DJM400, just buy a $5 Aux to 1/4" lead and plug the ipod into the microphone input...that way when someone requests a song u just press play and turn the microphone channel up...

what u recon

^ good point. Thanks :P

oh how I long for dedicated filters.

I hate the ones that automaticly turn up and down, when I played with a 700 (dident realise the filter above it) I couldent turn it off!

anyone know how to stop it from auto going from min to max?

xone 22 has a version of the allen and heath voltage controlled filters. They set the bar and have maintained it.

All the pioneer djm mixers sync the filter sweep to tempo, you just get to choose how many beats it takes for full sweep.

Xone series give you real control off their filters although only a button to choose resonance not a rotary pot.

Still the best filter you can get on a DJ mixer IMO.

The xone 22 is a serious piece of kit mate.
