The Allen&Heath Xone:PX5 is a 4+1 channel mixer, equipped with the legendary Xone filter, 3 band EQ on all channels and an intuitive layout. Combining the signature warm analogue Xone sound with class-leading digital connectivity, Xone:PX5 breathes life and soul into electronic music performance. The built-in FX technology offers new levels of manipulation with our new Xone:Xcite FX suite of performance-focused delays, reverbs, modulators, flangers and distorters which are all assignable through simple hands-on control for fine-tuning the FX and expressing the DJ’s inner creativity. The versatile Send/Return feature allows for the connection of external FX hardware with both Send/Return and Master Insert mode connections (Line or Hi-Z) and equips Xone:PX5 for numerous enhanced setup scenarios. Each channel has its own dedicated send control for external FX processing and can also be routed to the internal Xone:FX engine. Connect your laptop or computer to the premium internal 20 channel 24bit 96kHz USB2 soundcard for easy integration into digital DJ workflows, plus plug n’ play connection via X:LINK to Xone:K series controllers for expanded MIDI control. The crossfader has three switchable curve settings for blending or scratching styles and can be easily replaced or upgraded to an Innofader Pro 2 for ultimate crossfader performance. No matter what your mixing style, Xone:PX5 combines a modern approach to DJing with all the tools required for creating your own individual sound.

It's true what they say: there is just something very special about the sound from Allen & Heath mixers. It's noticeable from the moment you play music through it. A warmth, clarity, dynamic, and punch that is just a beautiful thing.
The build and feel of the unit are first class. The controls are all smooth, tactile, and confidence inspiring to use. This is a mixer that has some serious power. The flexibility of use with the analogue inputs is great, and used digitally over USB with something like Traktor or Ableton it is just on a different level again. Flawless operation.
Yeah, I love it.
