Introduction
The XTC has four channels, three of which are equipped with faders. The channel without fader is
meant to enable microphones to be used without occupying one of the 3 main channels. Microphone
level can still be adjusted with the Gain-control The fader channels are equipped with a long, 100
mm ALPS fader which runs extremely smoothly. Channels X, T and C consist of two inputs each, so
that line signals such as keyboard, sampler, CD or MD player can be connected as well as three
turntables. A push button next to the channel input control allows switching from input 1 to input 2, so
that plugging in and unplugging equipment is a thing of the past.
The tone control is just what can be expected from Dateq. A perfect Top for accentuating high hats,
an aggressive Mid and a Groovy Bass. Top and Bass have a range of plus or minus 15 dB, while Mid
can be adjusted from minus 12 to plus 12 dB.
To increase speed and ease of operation during mixing, the XTC has so-called ‘terminators’. Bass,
Mid or Top can be removed from the cross-fader as quick as a flash using these switches. The X-
fader is connected between the two outer fader-channels of the XTC and is together with the channel
faders VCA operated, in order to exclude noise and to guarantee years of trouble-free use.
The Transform buttons are designed for adding snatches of music from one side of the cross-fader
to the other side.
Each channel can be monitored, and is available on a powerful headphone-output. Split, a unique
Dateq function, allows monitoring and listening to the master signal to be carried out on the
headphones simultaneously.
There are plenty of outputs available on the XTC. The master output is balanced and has XLR plugs
so that it can be coupled directly to an output amplifier. The master also has a chinch output. The
XTC has a monitor out, a Sub low output for operation of an (active) low speaker and a second
headphone connection.
Because the XTC is used mostly in dimly lit surroundings, it is equipped with a front-mounted 12 volt
BNC-lamp connection.
