[. . . ] This lets you listen to the effect of mixing the sources or matching the beat before you bring it into the house mix. 20 XONE:62 User Guide 3 MIC/LINE switch. They can select either the XLR microphone input or the alternative jack stereo line input. When pressed, LINE is selected, indicated by the led changing colour to red. In the up position the switch selects the PHONO input, indicated by the green led. This input provides standard RIAA equalisation for high quality magnetic cartridge turntables. When pressed, LINE is selected, indicated by the led changing colour to red. Adjusts the input sensitivity of the channel to match the connected source to the console 0dB operating level. This provides a 20dB range with continuous adjustment for line level signals from ­10dBu to +10dBu, ­40dBu to ­20dBu for mics, or to match a wide range of RIAA turntable cartridges. It provides a powerful tool to adjust the tonal quality of the sound to correct source problems such as microphone characteristics, proximity effect, noise and feedback, or to adjust the overall `feel'. The XONE:62 equaliser provides separate tone control over four frequency bands. HI Turn this control clockwise to boost and anticlockwise to cut the high (treble) frequencies. Adjust the gain control for normal music averaging 0dB with loudest moments reaching +6. A 60mm stereo fader adjusts the signal level from off to the normal `0' top position. This allows smooth fade ins and a visual indication of its contribution to the mix. The fader does not affect the pre-fade Aux sends. XONE:62 User Guide 21 Crossfader and VCF The crossfader is the one feature that instantly sets the DJ mixer apart from a conventional mixer. It is applied to the stereo music channels and lets you smoothly fade from one track into another using a single fader. It is also used as a creative performance tool to layer or interact between two sounds when cut or scratch mixing . It is fully assignable from each music channel and can be easily replaced if it becomes damaged or worn through exceptional mechanical operation. The XONE:62 is unique in being the first DJ mixer to include an analogue voltage controlled filter (VCF) section. These filters provide live performance tools far more powerful than any equaliser or kill switch. They produce the same warm analog resonant frequency sweeping sound as made popular by well known classic analogue synthesisers, but using the latest high performance technology for quiet, stable operation. 1 VCA Crossfader. The XONE:62 uses four high performance voltage controlled amplifiers (VCA), a pair for each side of the stereo crossfader. [. . . ] The stereo channel sounds very distorted with high level and excessive bass. Only plug turntables needing RIAA equalisation into CH 3-6 PHONO inputs. Other equipment should be plugged into the LINE inputs. For your safety do not remove the EARTH (ground) connection in the power lead of the console or connected equipment. Have your MAINS SYSTEM checked by a qualified electrician. If the earthing is solid to start with you are less likely to experience problems. ? Use high grade AUDIO CABLES and check them for reliable connection. [. . . ]
