Allen & Heath Xone 62 for sale.

Allen and Heath Xone 62 (Grey) for sale £225 posted.
Working but not perfectly.
Faults include: some crackly gain/eq pots, one of the cue buttons does not illuminate but works otherwise, screw missing for channel meter as plastic under is cracked but still operates and is secure in place, a bit grubby and well used.
I do not know if it is normal but when routing a channel through the cross fader the volume level is slightly lower than when bypassed never caused me a problem but worth being aware of, I assume this is normal.Have still been using this mixer out up to this weekend (was just used at Johnny Dawes book launch night) so is functional but needs a service. Most of the channel faders and cross fader are quite new with little usage, less than six months. After getting use to the Xone 92 this is getting less use and would prefer a mixer with a more adjustable cross fade curve.

This is quite a flattering picture does not show up the scratches that well.

No damaged connectors.

Very scuffed underside.

Afon Ddu and Pont Cyfyng.

I managed to escape the office for my second gorge session of this week which makes for a nice change. Today I only had 4 clients all of whom were very able which means we made it up the Afon Ddu really quickly which left us time to stop of for some bigger jumps on the way home. Again a nice change as we do not normally get to visit the big jumps with clients due to time constraints.

In the gorge for a change.

Amongst a quiet week otherwise only broken by a trip to Liverpool the day came to life today with a trip to the Afon Ddu with a group of family friends which included one of my old school teachers from when I was eight. I don’t remember much of her, more worrying is she seems to remember me, recounting that I use to sit at the front! Anyway the group kept me on my toes with varying needs as you would expect from a group that ranged from 7 or 8 to late sixties.

Group control of three excitable young ones.Thankfully small enough to move around by harness tails.
Scrambling towards the last climb.

And Breathe.

Wow, what a busy couple of months, it seems as though my feet have not touched the ground. Since my last post it has been nonstop work with September full of Princes Trust, School groups and team building weekends. A busy October has seen big weekend groups of charity walkers, adventure weekends and some more training work with PDS and Totem. The raft in the picture below is the culmination of one of the team exercises on the lake. Now looking forward to a more relaxed half term week and then onto Snowdon Marathon weekend which again will pick up the pace of work.
