I love everything about it: the sonic purity; the feel of the faders - it's like mixing in caramel; those legendary filters - such a simple effect but very dramatic; and, of course, the whole aesthetic look with the dials and meters."Burridge will be embarking on a tour entitled '365' next year, taking Allen & Heath Xone:V6 audiophile rotary club mixer (09/27) A little over a year since Allen & Heath gained its independence from the Harman group in a management buyout, the UK mixer manufacturer has announced plans to launch three major new products at PLASA 2002 (8-11 September, 2002, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, UK).

Although the exact specification of the final design is still not complete, the company has set out a clear mission statement for the product: to provide the best audio quality of any club mixer, past or present. Xone series designer Andy Rigby-Jones has been researching and testing the very best components available for this project, including thermionic valves and VU meters based on an original 1950s design. The emphasis on quality means that a single rotary fader for the Xone:V6 will cost as much as some complete entry-level mixers.
