aux sends. The processed (wet) signal is returned to the
mix through a channel where it adds to the direct (dry)
signal routed from the channel fader.
RPM Revolutions Per Minute. The measurement of
turntable speed, eg. 33, 45 RPM
Sampler Another performance effect popular with DJs.
The channel signal is sent to a digital processor that
samples (stores) a short duration of sound. The output is
returned through a channel and replayed by pressing a
trigger. Many samplers provide creative effects such as
repeat and reverse.
Scratch Mixing The art of rhythmically rocking a record
back and forward on a turntable, to repeat a certain sound,
a vocal or tone, at the same time operating the cross-fader
to create a syncopated “wah wah” chirp added over a bass
heavy back beat.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SN) This is the difference
expressed in dB between the normal 0dB operating level
and the residual noise floor. It represents how far above
the equipment hiss level the signal operates. More is
better.
Slipmat A fabric turntable mat positioned under the
record so that the DJ can hold it stationary ready to let go
for a fast start at the point cued.
Sound-to-Light A processor that converts an audio
signal into a control voltage that triggers lighting effects.
This produces the popular disco effects with lights flashing
in time to the beat.
Split Cue A facility to listen to the cue signal in one ear
while keeping the program in the other. Used for matching
the beat while cueing a new track. Some consoles provide
a CUE/MIX fader to preview the mix before going live.
Sub Bass A loudspeaker designed to reproduce only
very low frequency sound, typically from around 30 to
120Hz. A crossover is used to route only the low
frequencies to the sub.
Tempo The rhythmic beat of the music, usually referred
to in BPM (Beats Per Minute). The DJ can tap the tempo
into the LFO so that its speed is in time with the music.
Transform Performance effect popular with DJ’s.
Pressing a button next to the crossfader mutes (turns off)
the active music. Used for ‘stutter’ effects.
Transmute A new Allen & Heath function that combines
the popular punch transform and punch effects into one
‘intelligent’ button.
TRS Jack Refers to the 3-pole (stereo) ¼” jack plug with
Tip, Ring and Sleeve connections.
TS Jack Refers to the 2-pole (mono) ¼” jack plug with Tip
and Sleeve connections. TS cables can plug into the
XONE:32 impedance balanced outputs without
modification.
Turntable Otherwise known as a ‘record deck’ this plays
vinyl discs, still the most popular source for DJ mixing. It is
common for the cartridge to plug directly into the mixing
console ‘phono’ input which provides the RIAA
equalisation required. The turntable usually has variable
speed control so that the DJ can synchronise the beat
between tracks.
VCA Voltage Controlled Amplifier. An audio gain
element whose level is controlled by a remote DC voltage
rather than through a fader or rotary control.
VCA Crossfader Functions as an audio crossfader but
with the audio level controlled by a DC voltage produced
by the fader. This voltage can be electronically filtered and
is therefore able to remove the clicks, scratches and drop-
outs associated with worn audio faders.
VCF Voltage Controlled Filter. An audio filter whose cut-
off frequency is controlled by a remote DC voltage rather
than a rotary or switched control. This provides greater
range and capability. The circuit used in the XONE:32
produces the dramatic sound of the classic analogue
synthesiser filter.
XLR The professional standard 3 pin round connector
used for microphone and other balanced connections.
Equipment female sockets are for inputs, male for outputs.
