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 exceptional sound quality. XONE:62 has been designed and constructed using the same rigorous standards Allen & Heath apply to their large-format professional consoles used and respected by top engineers throughout the world.

XONE:62 provides 6 dual stereo channels, with A and B inputs on each—two offering mic inputs7mdash;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 the Xone;62 offers 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 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. That means 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, which is 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 analog 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, color-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 setups, live venues, and on the road.
