Allen & Heath 10 XONE:3D User Guide
DESCRIPTION
The diagram below shows the signal flow through the Xone:3D system.
MIXER— Each of the 4 channels can select one of 3 sources: phono, line or
soundcard audio as shown. RIAA phono preamps are available on channels 2, 3
and 4. These may be changed to line input by resetting an internal jumper link if
required. Level may be adjusted over a +/- 10dB range if the signal reads too high
or low on the channel meters. The 3-band EQ provides a safe amount of boost
but full cut (kill) for dramatic effect. A mic input with level and 2-band EQ routes
direct to the main mix. The DJ cues the mix using headphones. The mix may be
added to the cue’d channel signal to help the DJ synchronise the beat.
FILTERS— The channel signal may be routed direct to the LR mix or through
either of the two analogue filters. These provide the characteristic Allen & Heath
analogue filter sound with combinations of 3 switched bands, swept frequency,
resonance and tap tempo LFO control. The VCA crossfader affects the filter path
when switched in.
FX LOOPS— Two FX sends are provided. FX1 may be switched pre or post
fader. FX2 is pre fader. The send is typically connected to an effects device or
sampler, then routed back to the mix via one of the two FX return inputs.
OUTPUTS— The balanced XLR mix output feeds the house sound system. The
monitor output follows the main mix and can provide a booth monitor,
alternative zone or recording feed.
