Allen & Heath Xone23C

The Allen & Heath Xone:23C is a mixer that adapts to the needs of the DJ who doesn't want to give up the vinyl tradition while using mixing software. The integrated USB audio interface can be configured in two different modes: DVS for use with timecode vinyl, or the default mode for receiving/recording on computer of the Master signal (1/2) and FX Send (3/4). The X:Link connector allows you to connect and power MIDI controllers from the XONE K series without occupying additional USB ports on your computer. The analog VCF filter is essential, configurable in low or hi-pass, with independent cut off and resonance controls. Stereo RCA connections for send and return allow you to integrate an external effects processor into your setup. Another feature of the XONE:23 is that thanks to separate gain on all 4 inputs it is possible to simulate a 4-channel mixer, instead of switching line/phono as in classic mixers.

Xone:23C combines the best of digital DJing and traditional mixing in an accessible and compact format with audio interface compatible with Traktor Scratch software.

This high-performance DJ mixer features a premium internal sound card at 24bit-96kHz with 4 stereo channels and offers plug n' play connection via X:LINK for controllers in the Xone:K series; it is perfect for artists looking to combine the convenience of DJing and digital recording with real control and the visual impact of a true mixer.

Xone:23C includes an improved version of the legendary Xone filter with resonance control, VCA fader, 3-band Total Kill EQ, illuminated buttons, crossfader curve selector and design inspired by the flagship Xone:DB4.

The heart of the mixer is the famous analog system Voltage Control Filter (VCF) that offers Low-Pass and High-Pass filters, frequency sweep and 'mild to wild' resonance control. There is also an FX Loop for connecting to external effects units.

Xone:23C is characterized by 2+2 channels with dual levels for Phono and Line inputs that allow you to connect four audio sources simultaneously, including turntables and CD/multimedia players. Furthermore, the internal sound card enables playback and recording from DJ software, offering users all the advantages of digital DJing while using real mixer controls.

The main mix output and microphone input are standard balanced professional XLR. There is also a dedicated recording output. Xone:23C features comprehensive monitoring facilities, including a dedicated monitor output with its own volume control, a cue mix control and signal levels clearly displayed on the 9-segment meter with peak-hold.

Drawn from the flagship Xone:DB4, Xone:23C features soft-touch, backlit controls, light-piped indicators and a new distinctive shaped steel front panel. The mixer can also be upgraded with the latest Innofader, available as an accessory, for advanced scratch performance.

Xone:23C comes equipped with Mixvibes Cross LE Software, which provides DVS control and plug n'play mapping for Xone:K series controllers.
