Features

Twin DSP FX Engines

The Xone:DB range exploits the potential of

digital mixer technology to bring you maximum

DJ creativity. A key element is what we believe

to be the highest quality and most

sophisticated FX engine in the DJ market.

Originally developed for the iLive pro touring

system and rated by some of the best ears in

the business, the FX algorithms have been

the business,

painstakingly optimised for DJ use. The first

mixer to get the new FX engine was the

Xone:DB4 – an unapologetic m onster of a

mixer with an FX engine on each channel. Now

the Xone:DB2 captures the essence of DB4

in a stylish, accessible, affordable format.

DIGITAL DJ FX M IXER

Input M atrix
EaEach of DB2’s four input channels has a full input matrix
that can select from four analogue (Line or RIAA), four
USB, or two digital sources, allowing for a wide variety of
audio sources to be connected sim ultaneously. The same
source can also be selected on multiple channels.

Trimodal EQ
Xone:DB2 adopts the fresh approach to creative equalisa-

X
tion introduced on DB4. The EQs can be used in three dif-
ferent modes - standard asymmetric EQ (+6/-25dB),
total Kill (+6dB/OFF with a 24dB/octave slope), or
High-Pass/Low-Pass filter with adjustable resonance.

M ic/Line Input

W ith 2 band EQ, gain, cue and mix level and with full

access to FX.

High Visibility OLED Display

Tested for maximum clarity whether playing on a sun-

drenched Balearic beach or in a Berlin basement, the

high contrast display shows FX selection, BPM and

menu setup functions.

Lightweight chassis

M ade for life on the road, Xone:DB2 is robust enough

for touring, and its lightweight aluminium chassis helps

ease the arm-ache.

Integral soundcard

The built-in, multi-channel USB2 soundcard allows replay

The built-in, multi-
and recording from computer-based audio software for
4 stereo sends and 4 stereo returns.

M IDI control
All controls (except M ic and Phones level) send M IDI data.

All cont
The mixer can double up as a M IDI controller for DJ
software such as Traktor Pro and Ableton via the M IDI
shift button, which allows the FX selection controls to
send M IDI data without changing the mixer settings.

:: M assive FX Library

X

Xone:DB2 has m ore than 50 FX presets divided into
5 FX types: Delays/loopers, Reverbs, Resonance,
M odulation and Damage. These are studio grade FX
– in fact several legendary producers already use the
DB range FX in their recordings. There are plans to
continue building the FX library in future firmware
updates.

:: Exp

:: Expression + W et / Dry

The Expression and W et / Dry controls give intuitive,
hands-on control for everything from subtle FX
washes to total transformation.

:: Editable FX Parameters.

For those who want to drill down further, individual FX
variations can be further modified via the rotary
controls under the screen.

X:LINK
Xone:DB2 can integrate smoothly with the new Xone:K2

X
software controller via Allen & Heath’s proprietary
X:LINK protocol.
