Headphones Controls
The DJ headphones is sourced from the booth mix and switched cue system.
Headphone sockets are provided on both the front and rear panels.
Tone control This combines the LF and HF equaliser into one, easy to use
control. At centre position the frequency response is flat. Turning clockwise
boosts the high frequencies while cutting the lows. Turning anti-clockwise
boosts the lows while cutting the highs. Use this to check the frequency make-
up of the music you are cueing in the headphones.
Cue / Mix This control balances the level of cue signal and booth (music)
signal in the headphones. Fully anti-clockwise, only cue signal is routed. Fully
clockwise, only booth mix is routed. At centre position, equal cue and booth
signal is mixed together. Use the control when auditioning new tracks and
experimenting with how they may sound when added to the mix.
Phones level Controls the overall level of the headphones. It ranges from
fully off to maximum volume.
Headphones are available with different impedance specification, typically
between 8 and 600 ohms. The XONE:S6 is designed to operate with
headphones in the range 30 to 600 ohms. For best performance we
recommend the high quality 70 or 100 ohm type popular with top DJs.
Important Note about Hearing: To avoid damage to your
hearing do not operate any sound system at excessively high volume. This
also applies to any close-to-ear monitoring such as headphones. Continued
exposure to high volume sound can cause frequency selective or wide range
hearing loss. Make sure that your system complies with any venue sound level
and noise regulations which may apply.
