12 XONE:62 User Guide

Quick Start 

We recommend that you read through all sections of this User Guide before starting. However, we

provide these notes so that you can plug up and experiment with sounds from your XONE:62

immediately if you prefer to read the full guide later. Please note that you should first read and

understand the Important Safety Instructions printed at the beginning of this guide. The following

simple procedure requires a CD player and headphones. Alternatively you can connect a pair of

turntables and start mixing right away. Please read the rest of this guide before connecting to your

amplifier and speaker systems.

1 Set all controls to their starting condition. Set all

FADERS, GAIN, AUX, VCF, RESONANCE, HEADPHONES

and BOOTH MONITOR controls minimum. Set PAN and EQ

controls to their detented centre position. Set all switches to

their up position.

2 Plug in a CD player. This provides a good stereo audio

source as a starting point. Plug into CH3 line input as shown.

Do not use the phono input for CD or other line level sources as

this is intended for turntables with magnetic cartridges requiring

RIAA equalisation.

3 Plug in the headphones. Plug into the top panel

PHONES socket. Use the best headphones you can afford for

your application. We recommend the professional grade

closed-ear type of 30 to 100ohms impedance, and with ¼” TRS

jack plug. Avoid using the popular mini jack to ¼” adapters as

these can quickly prove unreliable.

4 Connect AC mains power. Check first that the correct

mains lead with sealed plug suitable for your local supply has

been provided with your console. Plug into the AC MAINS IN

socket making sure the connector is pressed fully in.

5 Switch the console on. Press the rear panel ON/OFF

switch. Check that the green and red XY leds above the

crossfader both light. You may notice that the console meters

flash briefly. This is normal during power up.

6 Select the line source. Press the CH3 source select

switch. This lights red to indicate that the line source is

selected.

7 Adjust the channel gain. Start the CD player. Adjust

CH3 GAIN control until the average music level lights the

channel meter green 0 led with loudest peaks lighting the yellow

+6 led. If no signal is present check that the music source is

playing and the correct input is selected.

. Reduce GAIN if the red PK Led lights. This indicator

is a warning that the signal is approaching clipping and

that distortion may result if the level increases further.
