In the Xone 1D & Xone 2D Allen & Heath have created two of the most highly regard, professional level controllers for new format digital DJing. Famously used by Richie Hawtin in his touring rig for Traktor Scratch Pro, the Xone 1D & 2D are seriously professional controllers for DJs looking to embrace the laptop as the next stage in electronic music performance.
The Xone 1D is a dedicated MIDI controller that connects to your laptop via USB or conventional MIDI cable. The Xone 1D can send 43 separate MIDI messages. It includes 4x 60mm Allen & Heath Faders, 8 dented rotary pots, 19 push buttons, 5 rotary encoders with push button and a multi-function jog wheel that can be used for both controlling track play and navigation. The Xone 1D comes with a pre-mapped templates for Traktor Scratch Pro & Ableton and is designed to fit nicely in existing setups with height dimensions similar to most major professional grade mixers, including the Xone:92.
The Xone 2D is the big brother to the 1D, offering all the MIDI control mentioned in the 1D with an added built-in 96khz 24bit USB 2.0 soundcard. The Xone 2D includes four separated soundcard output channels, 9 stereo channels – 5 (4 analogue and one digital) inputs from a PC and 4 (3 analogue and one digital) returns. The Xone 2D can handle all the audio routing required to use all four decks in Traktor Scratch Pro. Coupled with a Xone 1D and your favourite mixer, the 2D holds its head high as one of the most powerful solutions for new-age mixing.
Both of these units are available in store or online now.
More Allen & Heath units, including the Xone 4D setup, coming very soon.
Thanks,
