Beat-syncable FX

A useful and powerful addition
to NOX Series mixers is the internal
eects engine. This processor oers 12
high-quality digital eects that can be
assigned to the microphone, channel 1
or 2, crossfader A or B, or the main mix.
Each eect has several parameters that
can be adjusted to suit your purpose. In
general, the TAP button is used to beat­sync the eect to the tempo of the music
by pressing it in rhythm. The INTENSITY
fader usually controls the wet/dry mix
of the eect (how much is blended with
the unaected signal). The FREQUENCY
knob can have various assignments. In
beat-sync mode (engaged by tapping
the rhythm with the TAP button), it will
determine the tempo multiple. It can also
adjust the rate on its own, if beat-sync is
not engaged or not available.

Here’s a brief description of the FX
available in every NOX Series mixer:

• 2XCOPY: Makes a copy of the signal,

which is delayed by a dened time.

• TAPE ECHO: A simulation of the

echo eect that occurs between

two tape reels, which has a warm,

slightly decayed sound.

• ECHO: A more modern delay eect,

which is very useful for juggling beats

and emphasizing musical phrases.

• FLANGER: A anger is a wave-like

eect that modulates the signal.

• PHASER: A sweeping phase shifter

eect. It is similar to a anger,

except that it is enharmonic,

producing a more “swooshing” sound.

• LP and HP FILTER: A Low Pass

lter cuts out any frequency above

its parameter settings. A High Pass

lter cuts out frequencies below its

parameter settings.

• AUTO PAN: Automatically moves the

signal from one side of the stereo

image to the other.

• VOCODER: Creates a robot voice

sound straight from the early days of

electronic music.

• REVERB: This is a classic eect that
adds space and air to the sound.

• REV REVERB: Reverse reverb.

• LMT+DIST: Band-limited distortion

creates a tight, compressed and
distorted sound to any signal.

Total Control

The NOX202, NOX303, NOX404 and

NOX1010 models provide superb tone
control, thanks to a 3-band EQ and full-kill
lters, Gain control and precise level meter
per channel. Meanwhile, the NOX606
features 4-band channel EQ and level
meter for MAIN output, plus a post-fader
mono output to drive subwoofers. All NOX
Series mixers feature extensive headphone
monitoring and cueing options.

NOX202

If the NOX202 had a middle name it

would be “easy.” The NOX202’s intuitive
layout makes it easy to operate right out
of the box. Beneath its elegant exterior
lies the heart of a 2-channel DJ battle
mixer complete with a beat-syncable
FX section, 3-band channel EQ and full-kill
lters. Premium-grade phono preamps,
along with our legendary XENYX mic
preamps, ensure the ultimate in signal
integrity and punch. And thanks to
NOX202’s onboard USB audio interface
you can add your MP3s to the mix with
just the ick of a switch. The NOX202 is a
veritable killer in its weight class!

NOX303

Armed with many of the same

features as the NOX202, the NOX303
features an additional input channel
and VCA-controlled faders with fader
start, which allows you to seamlessly
integrate auto-start capable CD players.
You get our outstanding phono and
XENYX mic preamps, renowned for
their superior sonic integrity and wide
dynamic range, along with built-in USB
connectivity. State-of-the-art, beat­syncable FX processing and balanced
XLR Master Outputs round out this
mighty middleweight.
