Allen & Heath Xone:96
Overview
The Allen & Heath Xone:96 is a six-channel analogue DJ mixer engineered for professional DJs who prioritize exceptional sound quality and versatile routing in club and festival environments. It is particularly favored in the techno, house, and electronic music scenes, where its warm, musical analogue signal path enhances the depth and texture of electronic productions. The dual VCF filters are a defining feature, offering high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass modes with resonance control that produces rich, sweeping filter effects that digital emulations struggle to replicate. The mixer includes two independent USB sound cards supporting up to 12 channels of digital audio, enabling simultaneous connection of two laptops for seamless DJ handovers. Analogue summing and the high-quality signal path deliver an audibly warm, detailed sound with generous headroom that rewards careful gain staging. The channel layout accommodates a wide range of input sources through six stereo line channels plus two phono/line switchable inputs, with extensive aux send and return routing for external effects processors. Build quality is exceptional, with a heavy-gauge steel chassis, Alps faders, and premium components throughout. The Xone:96 is the ideal mixer for DJs and sound engineers who demand uncompromising analogue audio quality and flexible signal routing. Its size and channel count may be more than necessary for DJs who only need a basic two-channel setup.
