"I've been using A&H mixers since the Xone:62 came out and I've always been a fan, insisting on A&H at every gig," says Digweed. "As a DJ, you want to turn up at a gig and know you can rely on the equipment. The DB4 is stable, well built, with excellent, warm sound - it just delivers."
Digweed has been using the mixer for several months, thoroughly road-testing it on his rigorous tour schedule, which spans the globe.
"I love the DB4's layout, which is similar to the Xone:92, and it is well thought out; for instance, certain knobs are backlit, which is great for a dark environment but also signals when the mixer is in different modes as the colour changes," he states.
Digweed's set up comprises the Xone:DB4 and three CDJs. "It's a simple set up as the DB4 has everything inside, so I don't need to connect any other equipment. I use an SD card to play all my music through the CDJs and the DB4 is perfect for what I want to do.
"The input matrix is a fantastic invention, it allows you to change over quickly or add effects to the track that's playing. I also love the delays, reverbs and distortion. EQ wise it's fantastic; Isolator mode works for me as you can really cut things out, subtly nudge out the bass and mid to get a great effect when mixing in."
