xone22.jpgAllen & Heath has unveiled the Xone:22, a 2 channel analogue DJ mixer offering high quality audio and a professional feature set at an entry level price.

The smallest and most affordable Xone mixer to date, the Xone:22 is equipped with Allen & Heath’s characteristic sound and build quality, and professional grade features that would normally be found in the booth of a top-rated club.

At the heart of the feature set is a lite version of the renowned analogue Voltage Control Filter (VCF) system offering Low-Pass and High-Pass filters, frequency sweep and ‘mild to wild’ resonance control. There is also a soft switched effects loop to bring in external effects, which are routed back in through the filter system.

The new mixer has 2 stereo channels with dual phono/line inputs, and phonos can be configured to line if no RIAA sources are in use. There is a 3-band total kill EQ, crossfader curve control switch, and the maximum output level is a generous +25dBu.

The main mix output and mic input are on professional standard balanced XLR’s, and there is a dedicated record output. The Xone:22 is equipped with comprehensive monitoring facilities, including a booth output with its own volume control, a cue mix control, and ‘cue-to-master’ switch to preview the master output. There are also 10-segment LED meters with selectable bar or dot mode display for each channel.

“We’ve raised the bar on entry level mixer design with the Xone:22. It’s the first mixer at this price point to have a full cut isolator/EQ, accurate metering, quality faders and pro standard audio headroom. Incorporating a “lite” version of our now legendary Xone filter system is the icing on the cake,” explains Xone designer, Andy Rigby-Jones. “We want to offer the bedroom DJ a quality performance tool and a taste of the professional club experience.”

To complete the club quality effect, the Xone:22 is finished with UV sensitive ink screen for improved low light legibility.

Available from March 2009, SRP for the Xone:22 is £266 (+VAT).

De djm 400 en ecler nuo 2 krijgen er concurrentie bij zo te zien.
maar dit: 't?s the first mixer at this price point to have a full cut isolator/EQ' klopt niet. Want dat kan de ecler NUO2 ook al.
Verkoopspolitiek he Winking my eye Ik graag eens een prijsvergelijking kunnen maken met de 2 eerdere vernoemde mixers.

wat een gaaf apparaat.

Er zit ook geen logische VU meter voor de master out signalen.

Jawel, zit er wel op werkt hetzelfde als op de DJM-300! Leuk apparaat heb hem al geprobeerd. Alleen jammer is dat de Xfader niet uitschakelbaar is.
Headphone regelen hebben wel meet mixers zo, zo ook de DJM-707 van Pioneer.

Wel heeft hij send/return, balanced uit, booth uit! Top mixer voor het geld.
