The perfect blend of analog sound and digital convenience





Allen & Heath are leaders in analog mixing technology, and you can hear it in the Xone:96 DJ mixer. The sound is full and powerful, allowing you to hit any sound system with full sonic force. For superior sound shaping, the four main stereo inputs each offer a 4-band EQ, and the additional stereo inputs each offer a 3-band parametric EQ. From input to output, the Xone:96 delivers a superior sonic experience.





Integrated 32-bit USB audio interface





Whether you’re recording in your studio or performing live with backing tracks from your laptop, the Xone:96 eliminates the need for an external audio interface. It features two independent USB connections, each with six stereo inputs and outputs, and operates at 32-bit/96kHz resolution. And DJs at Sweetwater are pleased to report the Xone:96 supports DVS control over Native Instruments’ Traktor Scratch Pro 2 DJ software right out of the box.





Sculpt your mixes with the VCF Filter System





The Xone:96 boasts Allen & Heath’s renowned analog Voltage Control Filter (VCF) system. The lowpass and highpass filters, frequency sweep, and “mild to wild” resonance control give you fine-tuned control of taking your mixes into sonic territory only confined by your imagination. And an effects loop allows you to connect your favorite effects units, routing right back in through the filter system.
