Allen & Heath 27 XONE:K2 User Guide
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
+
The diagram shows a setup using two Xone:K2s and a four-
channel analogue mixer. The front and rear panels of the
XONE:K2’s are shown, joined by the dashed line.
In this configuration, the first XONE:K2 Headphone Output
is connected to channel one on the mixer using a 3.5mm
jack to dual RCA lead. The Master Output of this
XONE:K2 is connected to channel two on the mixer using
RCA cables.
The Master Output on the second XONE:K2 is connected
to channel three on the mixer using RCA cables.
The Headphone Output of this XONE:K2 is connected to
channel four on the mixer using a 3.5mm jack to dual RCA
lead.
PC DRIVER TYPE
In this particular application both Master and Headphone
outputs are required so the ASIO driver must be used.
MAC
The XONE:K2 is Class Compliant and does not need a spe-
cific driver.
AGGRERATING AUDIO DEVICES
This application uses two XONE:K2’s which BOTH need to
be plugged to the Mac/PC via USB. In order for the DAW
application to see 8 (four stereo) outputs, the soundcards
of the two XONE:K2’s must be ‘joined’ together.
PC: To do this on a PC, a third-party application must be used.
MAC: The joining of the two XONE:K2’s on a Mac can be achieved by using the in-built Aggregate
Device Editor—see Page 6.
SOUNDCARD MAPPING
Your chosen DAW needs to be set to External Mixing Mode to allow for individual deck outputs. In
the DAW application route Deck Outputs to Soundcard Outputs accordingly. This may involve
some trial and error to determine which outputs are coming from which XONE:K2.
