    MIC Clean Feed Switches The Xone:92 Limited Edition implements a ’clean feed’ bus for MIC inputs. By default, MIC 1 & 2 inputs do not route to the BOOTH or RECORD outputs, in order to avoid potential acoustic feedback in the booth and to enable music only mix recording.
  • Page 9 AC MAINS Input and Power Switch Connect (supplied) IEC cable with moulded plug compatible to the local AC mains supply. Turn the AC supply to the mixer ON/OFF. Please refer to the Connecting Mains Power section for more details. ALLEN&HEATH XONE:92 Limited Edition User Guide...
  • Page 10: Mic/Rtn Input Channels

    This provides a 35 - 37dB range with continuous adjustment for line level signals from -15dBu to +20dBu, and -47dBu to - 10dBu for microphones. Use the Cue system to correctly set the level. Reduce LEVEL if the red PK! LED flashes. ALLEN&HEATH XONE:92 Limited Edition User Guide...
  • Page 11 Take time to experiment with these controls. The XONE:92 LIMITED EDITION equaliser provides separate tone control over four frequency bands. The frequencies in each band may be boosted or cut by up to 15dB. The centre flat position is detented for quick resetting.
  • Page 12 A 60mm stereo fader adjusts the signal level from off to unity at the top of its travel. This allows smooth fade ins and a visual indication of its contribution to the mix. The fader does not affect the pre-fade Aux sends. ALLEN&HEATH XONE:92 Limited Edition User Guide...
  • Page 13: Phono/Line Input Channels

    PHONO input, indicated by the green LED. This input provides standard RIAA equalisation for high quality magnetic cartridge turntables. When pressed, LINE is selected, indicated by the LED changing colour to red. Use this to select non-RIAA or alternative stereo music sources. ALLEN&HEATH XONE:92 Limited Edition User Guide...
  • Page 14 Reduce the LEVEL if the RED +10 LED flashes. MUSIC EQ The XONE:92 LIMITED EDITION Stereo Channels 1 to 4 feature Xone’s classic four band equaliser, providing infinite attenuation of high and low frequencies and -30dB attenuation of mid frequencies. This provides the DJ with effective equalisation to creatively alter and shape the sound during live performance rather than simply correct source problems.
  • Page 15 Toggle this switch to route the channel signal through either of the two FILTER stages. Selecting the switch in the central ‘OFF’ position bypasses both the filters. The XONE:92 LIMITED EDITION implements redesigned, Xone:96 style, analogue soft-switching for enhanced performance, ensuring master mix outputs are unaffected by audible electronic artefacts when hot-switching channel assignments to the Filters.
  • Page 16: Crossfader And Vcf

    It is also used as a creative performance tool to layer or interact between two sounds when cut or scratch mixing. The XONE:92 LIMITED EDITION uses four stereo high-quality trimmed voltage controlled amplifiers (VCAs) for channels 1 - 4. The robust 45mm crossfader produces a DC control voltage which determines the signal level of the VCAs.
  • Page 17 CH CURVE switch The XONE:92 LIMITED EDITION also allows the response of the channel faders to be altered to suit different mixing styles. The CH CURVE switch selects a global fader response for channels 1 - 4. The default switch position is centred, where the response provides the characteristic increase in signal level towards the top of the fader travel that Xone:92 is renowned for.
  • Page 18: The Xone:vcf Filters

    The XONE:92 LIMITED EDITION refines the classic VCF design first introduced on the Xone:62, preserving the unmistakable sonic signature of the original enhanced Xone:92 filters, while taking its performance to a new level.
  • Page 19: Lfo Modulation

    Channel 2. This can be used to produce incredibly smooth mixes or to mix tracks that would otherwise clash when mixed conventionally. The XONE:92 LIMITED EDITION Voltage Controlled Filters are further enhanced by two independent LFOs. The LFOs can be applied to either filter for additional cyclic VCF modulation effects.
  • Page 20 A surprising effect considering that all frequencies are ‘passed’. However, the filter type interaction around the cut- off point creates an interesting effect that varies from subtle to dramatic depending on the RESONANCE setting. ☺ Take some time to experiment with the filters before ‘going live’ ALLEN&HEATH XONE:92 Limited Edition User Guide...
  • Page 21: Master Mix And Monitor System

    Master Mix and Monitor System The XONE:92 LIMITED EDITION provides two stereo master mix outputs with independent level control on balanced XLR and jack connections to drive the house PA amplifier system or additional zone feeds. Full DJ monitoring facilities are available with independent headphones and booth monitors, together with stereo metering system.
