INTRODUCTION TO THE XONE:3D
Welcome to the Allen & Heath Xone:3D digital DJ workstation. This system has
been designed with the help of some of the world’s most cutting edge DJs to
provide a seamless integration of traditional and computer based audio replay
systems. The Xone:3D comprises three main sections:
MIXER— The mixer is based on the award winning Allen & Heath Xone:92. It
lets you mix a combination of vinyl, CD and other sources through 4 stereo
channels to its main mix and monitor outputs. It provides 2 effects send/return
loops, 3-band EQ isolators, 2 analogue VCF filters with LFO, VCA crossfader and
channel faders, DJ mic and cue monitoring system. A BPM counter can be set for
tap tempo or automatic beat detection.
MIDI CONTROLLER— Two dedicated control strips provide a total of 105
MIDI messages from a combination of switches, rotary and fader controls, multi-
function jog wheels, foot pedal and game controllers. In addition, several mixer
functions generate and respond to MIDI, and the BPM counter provides MIDI
start/stop and clock. The Xone:3D provides full control of external MIDI devices
including the most sophisticated DJ performance computer environments.
Overlays are available to identify the control function for popular software
applications.
SOUNDCARD— A high performance 8 channel USB soundcard is built into the
mixer. This is arranged as 4 stereo signals which may be configured as either
1in/3out or 2in/2out. It uses USB to interface the mixer audio and MIDI to a PC
where the sound may be manipulated in real time using one of the several exciting
new DJ performance programs. The soundcard also produces SPDIF coax and
optical digital inputs and outputs. A PC utility program is used to configure the
soundcard operating mode, its digital signal sources and MIDI parameters. A low
latency ASIO driver is provided for audio streaming between mixer and PC.
