Welcome to the XONE:92
The Allen & Heath
XONE:92
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:92
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:92
provides
6 dual stereo channels
, 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.
MIDI
(Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
allows
featured
front panel controls to transmit MIDI data
to enable remote control of external effects, samplers, sequencers etc. Tap Tempo related MIDI
clocks are also transmitted to provide synchronisation of MIDI sound modules to pre-recorded
sources playing through the mixer.
4 BAND EQ controls
rather than the usual 3 for greater creativity. Each band has a safe +6dB
boost. The HI and LO bands have infinite attenuation (total kill) with a sharp 12dB/oct roll-off and
the MID bands have a massive -30dB of cut, enough to shape your sound well beyond normal EQ
range, and without overloading your system.
Stereo channels use high quality
twin rail linear or rotary VCA faders
. These control the audio
using DC voltages meaning that they can take a huge amount of punishment without the bangs and
crackles that inevitably creep in on regular audio faders. The high spec Penny & Giles
VCA
crossfader
is easily removable from the top panel for quick replacement should it become worn.
The curve can be swept between dipped response, ideal for seamless beat mixing, and fast-attack,
suitable for 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 30Hz to 20kHz. The 3 filter types HPF, BPF and LPF can
be combined to create many more amazing effects.
Low Frequency Oscillator
controls enable
cyclic LFO changes to be applied to each filter. A large Resonance control changes the ‘Q’ or
sharpness of the filter effect from subtle to extreme. Each VCF has its own ‘ON’ 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.
