Master Mix and Monitor System

The XONE:62 provides a stereo main mix output with fader control and balanced XLR

connections to drive the house PA amplifier system. It also provides a mono output that

sums the left and right mix signals to feed an additional mono zone, sub bass or sound-

to-light controller. You can make a music only recording by connecting to the

independent record output. Full DJ monitoring facilities are available with independent

headphones and booth monitors, together with stereo metering system. Every signal

can be checked individually or within any mix, ideal for system setup and performance

cueing. Facilities such as Mono and Split-Cue switching are well suited to the way the

professional DJ works.

1 MIX MASTER. A rotary master control adjusts

the output level feeding the house PA. This is a

stereo control which adjusts the left and right signals

at the same time. It affects the stereo mix and

mono outputs. Note that it does not affect the

record and booth outputs. The maximum position

represents unity (0dB) gain. If you find yourself

normally setting the control in the lower part of its

travel then the connected equipment may be too

sensitive for the operating level of the console. With

the control set to its maximum position adjust the

input level trim of connected equipment for the

loudest level allowed.

In a club or similar installation strict sound

level and noise regulations may apply. Check

that your system levels are set up to comply.

2 MIX / MONITOR METERS. A pair of meter bars

displays the level of the selected headphones

monitor source in. This is either the main mix, the

Aux mix or Cue. When SPLIT CUE is selected the

left meter displays the active CUE signal, the right

displays PRG (program), both in mono.

Each meter has 12 leds to indicate signal levels

from a low –20dB. Green and yellow leds indicate

normal operating levels. The top red led lights at

+8dB still providing a healthy 13dB before clipping.

Meter ‘0’ represents +4dBu at the XLR outputs. The

meters are peak responding with a fast attack and

are therefore able to display fast transients

accurately. The top five leds are ‘peak hold’ which

means that the highest remains lit for a short time

after the signal has gone. This makes it easier to

keep track of the highest levels.

3 CUE indicator. A large red led lights when a

channel CUE is active. This indicates that the

selected channel CUE signal is heard in the

headphones and displayed on the monitor meters.

It is important to use CUE to set the channel gains

correctly to maintain the wide dynamic range

achievable with this console. Reduce the gain if the

red PK leds flash.
