Allen and Heath Xone 32 3-Channel DJ Mixer with LFO

Is it us, or do most DJ mixers look like they've been designed by middle-aged failed guitarists who think all DJs are naughty 12 year-olds? Allen & Heath are a bit different. All the Xones are created by a design engineer with 20 years DJing experience under his belt, so they're serious consoles for creative adults.

The Xone:32 lets the DJ push the boundaries of performance, with VCF filters, a tap-programmable low-frequency oscillator and DRS memories giving unprecedented control over the music (and the crowd).

Features
3 Dual Stereo Channels - Channels have RIAA [RCA] inputs and [TRS] stereo line level inputs, with powerful 3 band EQ. All channels have 3 colour bar meter and gain control, EQ on switch and 60mm fader

Mic Channel - XLR input with gain control and 2 band EQ, including HPF. Located on front. Routes direct to mix outputs

Stereo Mix Outputs - Balanced mix outputs on TRS with level control, plus secondary RCA pre-fade outputs for recording. The mix signal is displayed on 12 segment 3 colour peak reading bar meters

Auxiliary Send - All channels have a post fade stereo auxiliary send, so a program feed to a zone is possible. The outputs are [TRS] jacks

3 Band EQ - Powerful 3 band EQ with 'asymmetric' characteristic; +6dB boost to preserve headroom and -26dB cut for creative mixing

VCA Cross Fader - High quality dual-rail gold-contact 45mm fader with contour control, reverse switch and led, plus bypass switch with led. CH1 is routed to X, CH3 is routed to Y, CH2 does not route through the x-fader

Transmute Buttons - A unique function which combines 'transform' and 'punch' DJ effects for intelligent and creative live performance. Works in conjunction with x-fader using X & Y buttons

VCF Filters with DRS Presets - Choice of High Pass, Band Pass, Low Pass or multiples e.g. notch. Resonance - adjusts Q from mild to wild. VCF slider controls filter from 100Hz to 20kHz. Channels have individual VCF on buttons with blue led. VCF can also be modulated by a low frequency oscillator with performance controls. DRSTM presets allow store and recall of 4 VCF performance settings including Channel on, VCF type, LFO on and LFO X2

LFO with Tap Tempo - Low Frequency Oscillator. Modulates VCF. Tap Tempo button allows the speed of the LFO to be set to the track. X2 switch doubles the speed. On switch activates the LFO and allows VCF slider to control depth

Engineer / DJ's Toolbox - High powered headphone output with level. Booth output on [TRS] with level. 12 segment 3 colour bar metering displays mix. Channels have 4 segment 3 colour bar meter. Channel cue / main mix fader adjusts headphone monitor to suit. Cue switches are interlocked / auto cancel

PSU - High performance internal switched-mode power supply. Universal mains input voltage
