6 XONE:62 Service Manual
Welcome to the XONE:62
From the User Guide:
The Allen & Heath XONE:62 presents a unique combination of performance tools for the
professional DJ in a stylish and solidly built club format. Above all, it features sound
quality second to none.
XONE:62 has been designed and constructed using the same
rigorous standards we apply to our large format professional consoles used and
respected by top engineers throughout the world.
XONE:62 provides 6 dual stereo channels , with A and B inputs on each, two offering
mic inputs, adding up to a massive 10 stereo and 2 microphone inputs. A full range of
connectors means that you can connect up to 4 turntables, 2 mics, CD players, MD
players, drum machines, samplers, and pretty much anything else you might want to
bring into the mix.
The more bands of EQ you have, the more creative you can get with your mix. That is
why we give you
4 EQ controls rather than the usual 3. Each band has a safe +6dB
boost and a massive –26dB of cut, enough to creatively shape your sound well beyond
normal EQ range, and without overloading your system. Punch the effect in or out using
the EQ on switch.
Channels 3 to 6 can be assigned to either side of the high spec Penny & Giles VCA
crossfader. This controls the audio using a DC voltage meaning that it can take a huge
amount of punishment without the bangs and crackles that inevitably creep in on regular
audio faders. It is easily removable from the top panel for quick replacement should it
become worn. The curve can be switched to either dipped response, ideal for seamless
beat mixing, or to dipless better suited to scratch or cut mixing.
Unique to XONE , two stereo state variable Voltage Controlled Filters provide the DJ
with a new level of live performance creativity. These are very similar to those found on
classic analogue synths but benefit from modern, quiet and stable technology. Use these
to sweep the sound by accentuating or cutting frequencies from 100Hz to 20kHz. The 3
filter types HPF, BPF and LPF can be combined to create many more amazing effects. A
large Resonance control changes the ‘Q’ or sharpness of the filter effect from subtle to
extreme. Each VCF has its own in/out switch.
Combined with the extensive output and monitoring features, colour coded indicators,
stylish layout and clear graphics visible in all lighting situations, you have an unbeatable
performance console equally at home in dance clubs, home set-ups, live venues, and on
the road.
