allen heath Xone 23
Just saw some videos on it and it looks great.
my question is, Did they fix the filter pop that the 22 had?
If not I’m going to cry.
What a horrible design, whats with the shape of the faceplate?
I thought the same thing, I don’t see the point of that.
No USB sound card ? Deal breaker for me
The VU meters appear to have Channel and Mix labels, yet there doesn’t seem to be a switch?
I want to know if you can convert the phono inputs to line inputs. Similar to the mod on the Xone 92’s
I would guess so. I always thought that issue had to be connected to the lacking resonance controls on the 22.
Yeah, that is kind of disturbing. Another guess here, but maybe the VU meters show a stereo-summed read-out for each of the (cued) channels as long as any cue is engaged and show the master when no channel is set to cue? If my guess is correct, that’d be a major design flaw and possible dealbreaker.
I don’t care about the faceplate design. But why do they label the gain knobs as “Input 1-4” without indicating which are phono and and which are line on the faceplate. That just makes no sense whatsoever (even if there was the possibility to deactivate the phono preamps via jumper settings).
LOL, 2+2 mixer. Yet another horrible layout. At first glance, I almost commended them for finally conforming to the standard 2ch layout. Who puts the channel controls on the outside of the mixer? Oh right, Allen & Heath, duh.
I dont mind the face plate either, I would just cut those stupid maxi pad wings off.
Nevertheless, whoever designed that should get fired.
Wish they would have had a filter per channel.
Been waiting for NAMM to decide on a new mixer, thought the A&E would be it,
but now the Thud Rumble one is on top of my list.
Strange design, but heyyy this is A&H. They are inovative, trying to come up with sth new. I am sick of all the same Pioneer layout and all copying it.
Filters per channel would have made it a pio 250 killer but just don’t think it’s all that. Wings are ming
Also I suspect it’s digital now eh…
Really can’t believe they didn’t put filters per channel. I really hope its still analogue.
But is it analog?
i heard it is styled after the DB series, so probably not
my xone 22 filter pop goes away after its been turned on for about 10 mins
Really? Mine doesn’t. I just push it really lightly and to the beat so if it pops it’s not bad lol.
Its “aesthetic” design was styled after the DB series, so it might still be analog. Also, the DB series doesn’t have the analog VCF filters, and the 23 does.
I could be wrong, but the D in “DB” is for Digital.
The Xone:XX still says, in my head, analog.
I hope it’s analog.
there is no mention of any DAC in the specifications section of the manual.. I would say it’s analogue
