ALLEN & HEATH Xone:3d




Here is a new piece of DJ Technology I am looking into currently. SICK!!

ALLEN & HEATH Xone:3d

8-channel USB audio interface
The Xone:3D is a unique performance DJ controller that for the first time enables the seamless integration of computer-based digital media into the traditional DJ workspace. Combining a fully featured, high specification professional analogue DJ mixer with a comprehensive MIDI control system and a high end multi-channel USB soundcard, the Xone:3D has been designed in conjunction with some of the world’s most cutting-edge DJ/producers.

Mixer:
• 4 multi-input stereo channels: RIAA preamps for turntables on 3 inputs; channel 1 is Line/Line
• 3-band total kill EQ: 6dB to off
• 2 FX sends: pre/post selection (internal on FX2)
• 2 stereo returns
• Headphone monitor with mix/cue control: 3.5mm and ¼” sockets
• 2 analogue VCF filters: low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, resonance frequency, and filter ‘on’ switch
• Assignable LFO with depth control
• Mic input: On XLR connector; gain control and 2-band EQ control available
• Power supply: High performance internal switch-mode supply
• RIAA: for THREE turntables (four via internal jumper link)
• Dual Rail VCA Cross Fader

USB SoundCard:
• Uses 24 bit stereo Analogue to Digital converters and Digital to Analogue converters (not lower spec CODECs
• Sample rate can be set to either 44.1kHz or 48kHz; interfaces to any digital audio source up to 192kHz
• Soundcard fed from main mix, FX1, or direct from channels
• 8 channels - either 6 channels from a PC and 2 returns or 4 channels from a PC and 4 returns.
• Sends - mix, FX, or individual analogue channels may be routed to PC or digital outputs

MIDI Controller:
• Mappable MIDI controls:
• 105 MIDI control messages available
• 8 x 60mm linear faders
• 16 x detented rotary pots
• 10 rotary encoders, 50 switches, 2 custom jog wheels with micro switches
• 8 illuminated push switches
• Multi-function jog wheels with switched navigation control
• Xone:3D is compatible with any PC software that has MIDI assignable functions: for instance,
lighting controller or visual effects programs

The Xone:3D ships with mains leads, USB cable, user guide, spare knobs & faders, A&H stickers, Traktor overlays, Ableton overlays

Yeah Dude. I messed with this kit a couple years ago. It's a lot of fun with Ableton Live.
