    Yeah.. but they weren't exactly the first to introduce MIDI control......its all marketing at the end of the day.

    I still maintain that they don't produce anything suitable for the mobile DJ. If thet were to make a Xone:62 in rackmount format then i'd change my mind, but instead they made the S2, added USB & removed a feature and then added £300.

    It's sound business logic, but perhaps they could widen their market appeal....

    Thats why they make rackmount kits for the 62 then?

    Well me for one and mine is a tad bigger than 8u.

    The 62 was designed for turntabalists or CDJ users same as the Pioneer 500 etc.

    There certainly is no reason why these can't be used for mobile use

    Yeah if you have a twin cd deck they are a bit of a pain, but thats not the market they were aimed at.

    Not everyone uses twin players.

    No problem mate, hopefully our schedules will overlap sometime at the weekend so I'll have a word on your behalf.

    In the meantime why not check out http://www.allen-heath.com/UK/ it's pretty comprehensive.

    Cheers

    Most mobile DJs do, I'd guess at over 75%.

    When you're out every weekend lugging equipment around (as I once was, not anymore thank goodness ), you'll realise why most DJs use compact 4U mixers and 2U CD decks
