Allen & Heath 8 XONE:3D User Guide

INTRODUCTION TO THE XONE:3D

Welcome to the Allen & Heath Xone:3D digital DJ workstation. This system has
been designed with the help of some of the world’s most cutting edge DJs to
provide a seamless integration of traditional and computer based audio replay
systems. The Xone:3D comprises three main sections:

MIXER— The mixer is based on the award winning Allen & Heath Xone:92. It
lets you mix a combination of vinyl, CD and other sources through 4 stereo
channels to its main mix and monitor outputs. It provides 2 effects send/return
loops, 3-band EQ isolators, 2 analogue VCF filters with LFO, VCA crossfader and
channel faders, DJ mic and cue monitoring system. A BPM counter can be set for
tap tempo or automatic beat detection.

MIDI CONTROLLER— Two dedicated control strips provide a total of 105
MIDI messages from a combination of switches, rotary and fader controls, multi­function jog wheels, foot pedal and game controllers. In addition, several mixer
functions generate and respond to MIDI, and the BPM counter provides MIDI
start/stop and clock. The Xone:3D provides full control of external MIDI devices
including the most sophisticated DJ performance computer environments.
Overlays are available to identify the control function for popular software
applications.

SOUNDCARD— A high performance 8 channel USB soundcard is built into the
mixer. This is arranged as 4 stereo signals which may be configured as either
1in/3out or 2in/2out. It uses USB to interface the mixer audio and MIDI to a PC
where the sound may be manipulated in real time using one of the several exciting
new DJ performance programs. The soundcard also produces SPDIF coax and
optical digital inputs and outputs. A PC utility program is used to configure the
soundcard operating mode, its digital signal sources and MIDI parameters. A low
latency ASIO driver is provided for audio streaming between mixer and PC.

Allen & Heath 9 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

Allen & Heath 10 XONE:3D User Guide

DESCRIPTION

BPM COUNTER— Displays the BPM (beats per minute) of a music track

entered manually by tapping a button in time to the music, or automatically by
analysing the signal routed to it. The signal may be routed from the main mix or
from an individual channel via the pre-fade FX2 mix so that the beat may be
calculated and checked before the track is routed to the mix.

The BPM counter outputs MIDI clock so that a slave device such as a hardware or
software sequencer can be synchronized to the timing of a track playing through
the Xone:3D. To aid synchronization the MIDI clock can be momentarily speeded
up or slowed down by operating the PUSH/PULL lever.

MIDI CONTROL— MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) is a standardized
protocol for communication between electronic music devices as well as between
those devices and computers. Two identical banks of MIDI controls are provided
on either side of the mixer section. These bring control of remote performance
equipment such as computer based sound manipulation and sequencing, samplers,
effects and even lighting right to the mixer control surface. The function of the
controls may be identified using overlay sheets, samples of which are supplied
with the Xone:3D.

The control banks comprise both linear and rotary faders, rotary encoders with
integrated switches, push button switches with and without light ring indicators,
and large dedicated jog wheels with four position switches. A footswitch socket
and the 15-pin Game port provide control voltage input which produce further
MIDI output from foot pedal, joystick and custom wired controllers. Operation
of these controls does not affect any audio signals directly, but is automatically
translated into MIDI messages according to a pre-configured MIDI ‘map’. The
MIDI channel number and map is selected using the Configuration Utility software
running on a computer. Two MIDI maps are available to suit the various
performance software applications currently available. Further details are
provided later in this guide.

In addition to the dedicated MIDI controls some of the DJ mixer functions also
output MIDI messages when operated. These include all switches with light rings,
the filter frequency controls, the crossfader, and BPM start/stop and clock. The
MIDI data is sent out of the mixer via the rear panel MIDI out and Game port
sockets, and is simultaneously transferred to a connected computer via the USB
interface.

SOUNDCARD— The 8 channel soundcard is built into the mixer to ensure the
highest performance and lowest noise. 24-bit converters are used together with
low latency ASIO drivers supplied by Allen & Heath. The USB V1.1 port
interfaces with both V1.1 and V2.0 devices.

The soundcard can operate in one of two user selected modes. The default Mode
1 shown in the diagram opposite routes one stereo source to the computer and
returns three stereo signals back to the mixer channel input selectors. These
signals also appear at the rear panel soundcard output sockets. Note that return
1-2 is duplicated on input channel 4.

The Configuration Utility software is used to select the source to the computer,
one of the mix, FX1, channel 2 phono input preamp, SPDIF coax or optical input.
It is also used to select which signal appears on the SPDIF coax and optical
outputs, either the mix, FX1 or channel 3 phono input preamp.

Mode 2 may be selected using the Configuration Utility software. This routes two
stereo sources to the computer and returns two stereo back to the mixer
channels. Further details are provided on the next page.

Allen & Heath 11 XONE:3D User Guide

SOUNDCARD OPERATING MODES

The Xone:3D soundcard can be configured to operate in one of two modes.
Choose the mode that best suits the audio requirement of the computer

Configuration Utility software provided on the Xone:3D Utility CD.

TO CHANGE THE SOUNDCARD MODE
Important Note: Close all audio and MIDI

applications running on your PC before starting
the Configuration Utility. Failure to do this may
result in the PC losing connection with the mixer
and both requiring a reboot.

After closing the PC applications, start the
Configuration Utility. The current operating

Mode 1

mode is displayed. Use the pull-down menu to
select the mode required.

Mode 2

TO CHANGE THE IN/OUT SETTINGS
The available settings depend on the mode

currently selected. These are listed on the
previous page. The soundcard sources and what
signals are routed to the SPDIF connections are
set using this utility. These may be changed while
the PC is connected.

Soundcard In = signal sent to the PC
3D Digital Out = signal to the SPDIF outputs

TO CHANGE THE MIDI SETTINGS
Choose which MIDI channel is used to transmit

the mixer MIDI messages between the Xone:3D
and the rest of the system.

The MIDI messages associated with the mixer
controls are configured in a MIDI ‘map’. Two
maps are available— Map1 and Map2. Map2 is
the default for most applications.

More information on MIDI is provided later in
this user guide.

SPDIF DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Note:

The current firmware version is
displayed in the bottom left hand
corner when the utility detects
that the mixer is connected.

Allen & Heath 13 XONE:3D User Guide

SPDIF is a popular digital audio interfacing
standard for connecting two channel (stereo)
audio using a single coax (RCA phono socket) or
optical fibre (Toslink socket) cable.

The SPDIF inputs and outputs are available only
when your computer is connected via the USB
port. The computer provides the clocks needed
for the soundcard to function.

Sample rates of 44.1 and 48kHz are supported
with the ability to interface with any digital source
up to 192kHz.
