Allen & Heath

collapse expand iconDescription

This professional 4-channel analog DJ mixer takes the legendary soul of the acclaimed Xone:92 and redelivers it, enhanced and with state-of-the-art digital connectivity. It’s all here, from the huge, detailed, space-shaking analogue sound that only Xone delivers, to a refined, precision 4-band EQ, to a dual 32-bit USB soundcard. The Xone:96 also provides unrivalled dual Xone:VCF filters with CRUNCH harmonic distortion and Traktor Scratch certification right out of the box.

Xone:96 lets you connect your whole rig, from laptops and turntables, to pedals, synths and drum machines. Two dedicated FX sends, four stereo input channels (with 4-Band EQ), two stereo input channels with all new 3-Band Parametric EQ + two auxiliary stereo return channels. And a separate master insert for your outboard hardware.

Explore new possibilities with a familiar layout of beautifully tactile controls. And rely on the industrial build quality that exceeds the demands of relentless back-to-back performances, night after night.

Xone:96 draws on its rich heritage to create Allen & Heath's most advanced analog mixer yet, engineered from the ground up to deliver the legendary Xone analog sound in the most flexible, powerful format.

Xone:92 users will feel instantly at home with the Xone:96’s layout. All four main stereo input channels feature the latest incarnation of Allen & Heath's industry standard Xone 4-band EQ, the choice of countless international DJ artists.

Stereo Return channels A and B are fully-featured, and incorporate a redesigned 3-band parametric EQ design, giving you even more control over how you style your sound.

The Xone:96 features two independent USB connections, each with six stereo inputs and outputs, giving you a myriad of routing options. State-of-the-art 96kHz/32-bit processing ensures the highest audio quality is passed between your laptops and the analogue engine. Additionally, the Xone:96 soundcard supports DVS control of Native Instruments’ TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 DJ software, right out of the box. 

Nothing comes close to the sound and power of the Xone VCF filter. In Xone:96 Allen & Heath has refined this classic design, preserving its unmistakable sonic signature while taking its performance to the next level. Alongside the classic HPF, BPF, LPF, resonance control and frequency sweep layout, there’s CRUNCH, a controlled harmonic distortion that sits pre-filter in the circuit to give you a powerful new effect.

Dual independent professional headphone outputs combine with the dual soundcards to allow for back-to-back performances and smooth set transitions. Dedicated booth outputs with 3-band booth EQ let you tune the monitor system perfectly.

Xone:96’s rear panel is fully-loaded with I/O options. Artists using complex, hybrid, multi-channel software will benefit from the simplicity of using a single USB to connect their computer to Xone:96. Alongside all the analogue connections you’d expect to find, DJs will welcome the addition of 2 stereo sends, 4 stereo returns and a dedicated master insert. Send 1 is switchable from Line to Hi-Z level, making it ideal for incorporating instrument level effects, like classic guitar pedals.

Built to last, Xone:96 features custom-designed 60mm linear VCA channel faders. Perfectly balanced, they offer smooth performance and precise control.

    What can I say, this is everything it is advertised to be! I like to switch between turntables, Traktor, and Ableton, and this allows me to do so very easily. The fact that I do not need an external audio interface and tons of cables is a major plus. I love being able to just flip one knob to switch between digital and vinyl. The multiple cue outputs is nice, and one overlooked aspect is the fact that each cue output has both a 1/4" and 3.5mm port, and it just seems like they really considered all of these really small but convenient things when this was designed. It is nice to be able to easily route effects through Ableton while using Traktor or vinyl. The sound is everything it is made out to be, and after using a Traktor Kontrol S4 I have to say there is just no comparison. Vinyl is amplified in a way that makes it equal to the digital output, making transitions from digital to vinyl that much better. This unit does get warm, but I read that this is a natural result of using an analog mixer and I would expect no less really. There was a lot of "conditioning" I needed to do with a digital mixer's audio that I no longer need to worry about, and this gives me a nice edge compared to what I was working with before. Nobody will buy a XONE:96 without doing some good research I'm sure, but I'm just here to say that it lives up to the expectations and I would buy it again without hesitation.
