Stereo pro-turntablist DJ mixer with 2 dual stereo channels

Review: From inputs to outputs, Allen & Heath created the Xone:02 to be the world's greatest battle/scratch mixer. Every fader is a deluxe VCA design. They are all reversible, all have contour controls and they can all be easily replaced by removing the steel faceplate. The fader area has been cleared for action and other controls are out of the way at the top of the mixer and even the transform switches can be rotated to work the way you like them.

Add to this Allen & Heath's outstanding sound quality, a choice of plain or patterned faceplate, optional Pro Xfade crossfader and sturdy construction to withstand any amount of rough handling a scratch DJ can throw at it and Allen & Heath think they might have succeeded.

Professional 2 channel DJ mixer

Review: Allen & Heath is proud to present the Allen & Heath Xone:22, a 2-channel analogue DJ mixer which offers the top quality audio and professional feature set usually only found in the booth of a top-rated club, all at an stunningly affordable price.

Allen & Heath have raised the bar on entry-level mixer design with the Xone:22. It's equipped with their characteristic sound and build quality and it's the first time a DJ mixer at this level has incorporated professional grade features, such as a full cut isolator/EQ, accurate metering, high quality faders and pro-standard audio headroom. Allen & Heath have incorporated a lite version of Xone's now legendary VCF filter system, a truly professional feature never offered at this level before.

Rack-mounted professional DJ live/club mixer

Review: Here's where it all started. As the first model in the range, the Xone:464 paved the way with superior sound and build quality never seen before in a DJ mixer. A dedicated club mixer, designed to please both club technicians and the performing DJ, its combination of versatility and fine craftsmanship mean it is still the first choice for venues where DJs and engineers are serious about their music.

The Allen & Heath Xone 2-464 Club & DJ mixer shares the same solid construction as Allen & Heath's pro touring desks, so venues can depend on it for outstanding audio and reliability, whilst the renowned Xone analogue filters and 4-band asymmetric EQ make it an incredibly creative tool for DJs to enjoy. The 4 fully-featured mic/line inputs mean live performers can join the mix, adding a new dimension to the stunning feature set.

Professional 6-channel club/DJ mixer

Review: Presenting the Allen & Heath XONE:62.

This 6-channel professional DJ mixer has become the industry standard for club and bar installations worldwide. As a purebred club mixer, it has truly raised the bar in terms of DJ mixer audio quality and has also quickly become the mixer of choice for many of the world's greatest DJs, thanks to its pristine sound and creative tool set.

The mixer is bristling with features to make DJs drool: from the 4-band EQ, which means you can get more creative with your mix to the phenomenal VCF filters; the AUX send to incorporate external FX into the mix; the 10 stereo inputs, which allow connection to up to 4 turntables and 2 mics with keyboards, samplers, CD and MP3 players and the split cue feature, allowing you to hear the main mix in one ear and the track you're cueing in the other.

If you're a club or bar owner and want to install a mixer which any DJ would be ecstatic to find in the DJ Box, this mixer's for you. And if you're a DJ who simply wants to be taken seriously, take a Xone:62.

6-channel proferssional mixer with a rotary fader option

Review: 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. The XONE:92 has been designed and constructed using the same rigorous standards Allen & Heath apply to their large format professional consoles used and respected by top engineers throughout the world.

The Xone:92 provides 6 dual stereo channels, 2 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, 2 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.

Digital DJ FX mixer

Review: The Xone:DB4 is a ground-breaking mixer and the most advanced product that Allen & Heath have ever designed. Every feature has been meticulously researched with a view to offering DJs ultimate creativity. Based on the iLive pro-touring FX system, A&H developed FX algorithms with BPM conscious parameters and tight spectral control, customised to perfectly fit the DJ environment. As the loops and FX are automatically synchronised to the tempo of the track, it is very easy to build some amazing grooves and soundscapes without problems of latency, low fidelity and the general hassle often associated with using software and laptops.

The icing on the cake is the flexible input matrix, where any audio source can be selected on any or all of the channels. Different processing can be applied to the same track on separate channels and you can fade between them, or a phrase sampled in the looper of one channel can be added to the mix later in the track. Our digital design team has done an incredible job to ensure that this is one of the most innovative and exciting DJ mix tools to date."

Quad FX Core:
The heart of the Xone:DB4 is the powerful Quad FX Core DSP engine, enabling each channel to have its own FX bank and BPM detection system, which automatically adjusts all time-related FX and loops to the tempo of the music. There are 5 studio quality FX types optimised for DJ use - delays, reverbs, modulators, resonators and damage - plus each FX type has a patch library of different effect variations. Each FX bank has a dedicated expression control and a rotary pot to set the wet/dry level, whilst further tweaking can be performed using the global controllers in the FX master section.

19" rack-mounted 4U DJ mixer with rotary VCA channel faders

Review: The Xone:S2 is an installation DJ mixer for use in clubs and bars by professional mobile DJs. It is a 19" rack-mounted 4U mixer, available with either linear or rotary VCA channel faders, and features 4 stereo dual-input channels, 2 mono mic/stereo line channels, a USB audio interface and boasts many features to both enhance the DJ's performance and aid the installer.

The Xone:S2 represents the ideal package for club installers as it has a multitude of features designed to integrate it into a typical PA system. One of the key features is an output limiter system that enables the engineer to preset the maximum output level of the mixer, irrespective of input level.

The main mix outputs are on balanced XLR and an additional mono output, also on XLR, can be used as a zone feed or can be used to feed a sub-bass stack. A dedicated alarm input mutes all music channels when active and there is also a dedicated alarm message audio input connection. An additional stereo input (RCA) is accessible on the front panel, enabling guest DJ's to patch in music sources without having to gain access to the rear connectors. 2 high quality mono/mic or stereo channels are included, and there is a booth monitor and music ducking facility.

The Xone:S2 is offered with either linear or rotary faders, which are fitted on a removable panel making it is possible for venues to purchase the alternative panel and easily interchange between fader types without having to remove the unit from the rack, as required by the visiting DJ.

The Xone:S2 is equipped with many performance tools for DJs. Each of the four main stereo channels is equipped with a flexible 3-band equalizer providing a safe +6dB of boost and total kill for complete frequency isolation. Individual channels can be routed to either side of the high-quality VCA crossfader with adjustable curve control for smooth constant level mixes or virtually instant attack suitable for scratching.

The Xone:S2 is also equipped with the legendary Xone filter system, allowing each of the four main channels to be individually routed to the filter. The filter can also be connected to outboard equipment, or can be patched into the mixer insert point for global filtering of the main mix. Three separate headphone sockets are provided, and a split cue allows the cue signal to be monitored in the left headphone and the main mix in the right.

Uniquely on a mixer of this type, the Xone:S2 is equipped with a USB audio interface enabling easy integration of digital media. The USB interface can be used for playback and recording to or from the Xone:S2 and a computer, or used with appropriate software to act as a hardware effects unit.
