The Xone 96 is an outstanding, professional, 6+2 channel DJ mixer including dual 32-bit USB sound card and Traktor Scratch certification, equipped with the incomparable warm sound of the classic Xone 92 club mixer, appreciated by many DJs, with new and improved technology. The flagship analogue DJ mixer delivers a host of connections, allowing you to connect synthesizers, drum machines, Xone:K controllers or, for example, guitar effects pedals, in addition to conventional sources such as CD players, turntables and laptops. As with the 92 model, the rugged Allen & Heath Xone 96 delivers a refined, precise 4-band EQ, two dedicated FX sends, and features the unsurpassed, legendary Dual Xone:VCF filter. On top of that, the Crunch control allows you to enrich the outgoing audio signal with harmonic distortion. Furthermore, two independent headphone sections have been installed and as
The Xone 96 features two independent USB ports with six stereo inputs and outputs, providing various routing options. State-of-the-art 96kHz / 32-bit processing ensures the highest audio quality between laptops and the analogue engine. Additionally, thanks to Traktor Scratch certification, the Xone sound card supports DVS control of Native Instruments' TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 DJ software.
With the Xone 96, Allen & Heath has refined the classic design of the legendary Xone VCF filter while retaining its distinctive sonic signature. In addition to the HPF, BPF, LPF, resonance and frequency sweep layouts, there is CRUNCH, a controlled harmonic distortion that is switched before the filters. The Allen & Heath allows you to route all six main channels to one of the two filters.
The club mixer features two independent headphone sections. Combined with the dual soundcard, these enable back-to-back performances and smooth set transitions. Dedicated booth outputs with 3-band EQ set the stage for perfect monitor system tuning.
Built to last, the unit features specially designed linear 60mm VCA channel faders. Perfectly balanced, they offer smooth performance and precise control. When it comes to
Xone 92 users will feel immediately familiar with the layout of the Xone 96. In addition to the 2 stereo FX sends on each of the channels, the four main stereo input channels feature the latest version of the industry-standard Xone 4-band EQ. The stereo return channels A and B are fully featured and have a brand new 3-band parametric EQ design that allows you to tweak the sound even more selectively.
Allen & Heath Xone:96I was a bit unsure about buying the 96 but I’m delighted with it. Really clean and open sound. The summing of channels is really pleasing, it feels like there is loads of space in the mix. The (apparently new since the 92) phono preamps are brilliant, hardly any difference between phono and line gains. Sound quality is my most important requirement, I’d been looking at more expensive rotary mixers at the same time.
I play mainly vinyl but also want to incorporate some digital music via Traktor DVS. There was no set up for Traktor, I just plugged in my laptop, turned the input selector to USB1 and it worked. 👍🏻 Nuff said.
I don’t have any effects units at the moment to comment on the send/returns but a nice surprise has been the Crunch effect. When I first heard it I thought it sounded very ‘Main Stage Techno’ which isn’t my thing, but it has a really pleasing effect on a wide range of sounds.
Having used only digital mixers before this mixer is just different the sounds is so warm and rich and I have been struggling to put it down since I got it would highly recommend purchasing this mixer if your looking quality and connectivity.
I spent some time reviewing mixer options considering both Pioneer and Rane alongside the Allen & Heath range. I decided on the zone:96 and I'm not disappoint, this is a well thought through mixer with exception sound quality. The 4 band EQs and filters are amazing and the Crunch brings some nice distortion. It's a pretty simple mixer that just works really well
Effects weren't something I needed from a mixer as I use Traktor and I can see effects improving over the years, so a mixer with effects will likely date faster.
2bh I couldn't justify the cost of the Rane series and as I use Traktor there was assured compatibility as Allen and Heath products are Traktor certified.
If sound quality and the ability to shape your music through 4 band EQ' is your thing I highly recommend this mixer.
Analogue sound and classic A&H filters - all the minor issues with the Xone 92 have been fixed and refined - all you could ask for.
Purchased this beast to replace my ageing Xone:62
Excellent sound quality, plenty of features (built in dual soundcard), lots of inputs and outputs and easy of use (professional users mostly) Highly recommended!
