Allen&Heath Xone:DX – Gearjunkies Review

·0 comments·

A professional DJ controller with integrated, high quality soundcard. That’s a way to describe the new Allen&Heath Xone:DX. But that would be missing a whole lot of points of the digital DJ system that Allen&Heath and Serato co-developed. The Xone:DX controller in combination with Serato Itch software is a professional and robust system for the Digital DJ. As a vinyl-DJ with relative extreme little Digital DJ experience, I’ve got the opportunity to check out the Xone:DX and write up my first impressions!

Enhance your Studios Environment with Leaf-Tie

·0 comments·

The following isn’t really what we write about on Gearjunkies usually, but still we thought this concept is just so brilliant. So we will share this with you. Many of us have their own studio/gear setup and one of the downsides of having a lot of gear is the issue of … cables. From just a few to dozens and dozens. All tangled up and twisted! We all need them so there isn’t much we can do about it. Lufdesign had the same idea but they came up with a product that makes that same Cable issue kinda … more bearable. Presenting the Leaf Tie!
