DJ Marky Marc 0 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Not so long ago I was pushed (mainly by my self) into getting an allen and heath 464. So after takig it out on its second gig this weekend im here to tell you a little about it. lets start with the size of this thing. http://www.disco-man.co.uk/images/IMAGE_00023.jpg yes it huge. but nice feature is that there is a built in stand for useage on a table outside a mixer case if you wish to do so or this part of the mixer can be folded flat for putting into a case. we shall work from left to right..... 4 mono mic channels with 100mm faders. top quailty and loads of control with the EQ and boost for diferent types of input. Any one supporting a band or needing to wire more than one radio or wired mics will love this mixer. these 4 channels do support other types of input.... 6 dual stereo channels to allow upto 12 stereo inputs. 4 of them turntables. every channel has 4 band EQ additional input for send and return loops Voltage controlled fillters on the cross fade for creative mixing.. dual main outputs and monitor output.... basicly this mixer does it all plus loads more. sound quality is first class, the layout is clear and easy of use for basic mixing is just like any other mixer. split cue in the headphones for discos where a monitor speaker cant be used and a very powerfull headphone stage so you can drown out the rest of the venue and be in your own personl night club Power supply is internal so no need for extra boxes just plug an IEC lead and press the on switch located on the rear of the mixer. there is also a second headphone jack on the rear of the system... Basicly its going to take me weeks to get used to all the things this mixer can do, but if you want the best all round mixer for mobile/club install and can deal with its size then you should put the 464 on your short list... 9/10 for Allen and heath <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites

YourBigEvent 0 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Good looking, the only thing I didn't like about the A&H was that the inputs are on the rear and not easily accessible to plug in extra mics/inputs etc .....but what do I know ?

DJ Marky Marc 0 Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 the inputs on the rear are very easy to get too win the case i have used.... the retail cost of these is just under £1000 <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites
Gary 0 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Those CD controls look an awful looooooooong way away....your poor arms... What are the dimensions of the mixer? It looks 19inch wide, so I'm guessing its about 22inches deep, meaning the CD-controls are about 2feet away from you. A&H could do with bringing out a 19inch landscape mixer for under £1000. Yes, I know they had the V6, but that was silly money ('bout £2000) and looked like one of those radio sets that "someone went back for" in a 1960's desert island movie. So that doesnt count.

DJ Marky Marc 0 Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 here is the back of the unit http://www.disco-man.co.uk/images/464back.jpg easy to get too in this case for all connections... its not so far away for CD controls but dont forget im also using S5000's and turntables with it more than the 1800F..... <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites
YourBigEvent 0 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 On my rack, I can't get into the back of the mixer. .....but what do I know ? Your Big Event Office:01803 813540 Direct: 0797 0717 448 e.mail:info@yourbigevent.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites
brianmole 0 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 The connector block swivels from what I remember. Awesome bit of kit Marc. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/smile.gif Link to post Share on other sites
Kingy 0 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 This mixer is the biz!! Its about the same size as the one I use (an old 3G club mixer), but this is the one I am going to buy next. I hope to get mine about September, fingers ( and everything else) crossed. Link to post Share on other sites
DJ Marky Marc 0 Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 If anyone is interested in getting there hands on one then let me know as I am able to get them for a bargin price...... <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites
eswmartin 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Any desk worth its salt will have all connections (except headphone socket) on the back. A £1000 mixer will be flight cased. Top mounted Sockets are far to vaunerable to damage. Link to post Share on other sites
FrankieJ 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Very nice set up, how heavy is it to lift Marky or is it a wheel based flight case?? DJ Frankie Knuckles. Link to post Share on other sites
DJ Marky Marc 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 mixer case i lift on my own no problems , its just big so sometimes it better to have someone grab the other side... it spends most of its life sat on top of a 12U amp rack case that has wheels. so it gets pushed into most venues...... <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites
Gary 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 So the New Xone 3D mixer with built-in USB soundcards didn't appeal then? $2000 in its standard camoflauge green colour (a big mistake in that price bracket), presumably, any more sensible colours will cost more. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/rolleyes.gif Link to post Share on other sites
chris-woods.net 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 it is a sweet mixer ive used the zone 64, not a fan of its crossfader tho Link to post Share on other sites
ToXiC 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 That looks well nice!!!!!! No offence, but the Allen&Heath Xone 92 looks even nicer!!! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/071.gif Me got the Allen&Heath Xone32 are very pleased with that. So the Xone 92 or the 464 that you got DJ Marky Marc. Both mixers would make me drool!!!!! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/tongue.gif http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/thumbup.gif Link to post Share on other sites
