XONE:62 User Guide 7
Welcome to the XONE:62
The Allen & Heath XONE:62 presents a unique combination of performance tools for the
professional DJ in a stylish and solidly built club format. Above all, it features sound quality second
to none. XONE:62 has been designed and constructed using the same rigorous standards we
apply to our large format professional consoles used and respected by top engineers throughout
the world. We have had great fun designing this new range. We are sure you will get even more
enjoyment using it.
XONE:62 provides 6 dual stereo channels, with A and B inputs on each, two offering mic inputs,
adding up to a massive 10 stereo and 2 microphone inputs. A full range of connectors means that
you can connect up to 4 turntables, 2 mics, CD players, MD players, drum machines, samplers, and
pretty much anything else you might want to bring into the mix.
The more bands of EQ you have, the more creative you can get with your mix. That is why we give
you 4 EQ controls rather than the usual 3. Each band has a safe +6dB boost and a massive –
26dB of cut, enough to creatively shape your sound well beyond normal EQ range, and without
overloading your system. Punch the effect in or out using the EQ on switch.
Channels 3 to 6 can be assigned to either side of the high spec Penny & Giles VCA crossfader.
This controls the audio using a DC voltage meaning that it can take a huge amount of punishment
without the bangs and crackles that inevitably creep in on regular audio faders. It is easily
removable from the top panel for quick replacement should it become worn. The curve can be
switched to either dipped response, ideal for seamless beat mixing, or to dipless better suited to
scratch or cut mixing.
Unique to XONE, two stereo state variable Voltage Controlled Filters provide the DJ with a new
level of live performance creativity. These are very similar to those found on classic analogue
synths but benefit from modern, quiet and stable technology. Use these to sweep the sound by
accentuating or cutting frequencies from 100Hz to 20kHz. The 3 filter types HPF, BPF and LPF
can be combined to create many more amazing effects. A large Resonance control changes the
‘Q’ or sharpness of the filter effect from subtle to extreme. Each VCF has its own in/out switch.
Combined with the extensive output and monitoring features, colour coded indicators, stylish layout
and clear graphics visible in all lighting situations, you have an unbeatable performance console
equally at home in dance clubs, home set-ups, live venues, and on the road.
