Allen & Heath Xone:92 Ultimate Dj Mixer 6 channel Digital EffectsAllen & Heath introduced a new DJ mixer design with the launch of the new Xone:92, a 6 channel mixer that incorporates the advanced technical demands of today's professional DJs. The greatly anticipated Xone:92, available in either rotary or linear Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) fader options, has a feature set that is so versatile, the mixer can be used across all DJ styles.Already well established as a leading DJ and club mixer manufacturer through products such as the industry standard Xone:62 and audiophile Xone:V6, Allen & Heath has collaborated with cutting-edge artists to make a flexible, 6 channel (4 phono or line with 2 mono/mic or stereo return), feature-packed tool for the burgeoning population of technically adept DJs. With more and more DJs incorporating live elements and digital effects to enhance their performances, one new feature, a MIDI controller output, offers users the unique ability to manipulate virtually any piece of outboard MIDI equipment from controls on the mixer surface. Renowned experimental DJ, Richie Hawtin, commented: "It's time to take DJ'ing to the next level and this is the mixer that DJ's will need. The Xone:92 has all the tools, knobs, bells and whistles that every futuristic DJ could want but much more than that, here is a mixer that controls not just sound but every element in the creative process. Finally - a mixer that takes the future of performance seriously." For additional sound manipulation, the Xone:92 also incorporates two Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs) with a tap-tempo feature and two independent filter systems. LFO depth, filter resonance and frequency can be adjusted. Channels can be assigned to either of the two filters and the VCF controls can be linked together for the simultaneous manipulation of both filters. Each filter can also be controlled by the cross-fader with the LFOs still interacting. Allen & Heath's Xone:92 also features a new four-band +6dB EQ with infinite cut on HF and LF and -30dB available on both hi- and lo-mids. The mid EQ provides a wide cut but narrow boost to prevent cumulative gain with all controls at maximum. Furthermore, VCA faders and filters are used throughout, so that no audio signals pass directly through the faders. As a result, there is no risk of the sound being degraded by worn components. Other features include an active crossfader, which can be varied using a rotary control from smooth to scratch mix; two headphone outputs, ¼" and 3.5mm jack; 2 auxiliary sends with selectable pre/post fader and crossfader; extensive channel output and cue metering; an intelligent cue system allowing pre or post EQ monitoring; and a talkover facility on mono/mic channel which attenuates music by 20dB. All this and Allen & Heath's great sound and build quality. The new Xone:92 is the same height and width as the Xone:62 and is the same depth as a Technics 1210 turntable. "The Xone:92, is the most versatile and sophisticated mixer yet released in the Xone range. Feedback we receive from our customers has been taken onboard during the design process, so that we have crafted a truly cutting edge tool. In the Xone:92, we have created what we consider to be the ultimate professional DJ and club mixer," states Xone designer, Andy Rigby-Jones. Early users of the Xone:92 will include Richie Hawtin, Sander Kleinenberg, C1, John '00' Fleming, John Digweed and Sasha. The SRP is £999.95 and the mixer will be available from February.
