Quick Start - ALLEN & HEATH XONE 62 User Manual

Quick Start

We recommend that you read through all sections of this User Guide before starting. However, we
provide these notes so that you can plug up and experiment with sounds from your XONE:62
immediately if you prefer to read the full guide later. Please note that you should first read and
understand the Important Safety Instructions printed at the beginning of this guide. The following
simple procedure requires a CD player and headphones. Alternatively you can connect a pair of
turntables and start mixing right away. Please read the rest of this guide before connecting to your
amplifier and speaker systems.
