INTRODUCTION TO THE XONE:22 The Xone:22 has been designed to meet the requirements of those users who want a high quality, affordable, compact DJ mixer. Its feature set has been kept to the essential elements needed to produce professional quality mixes, without compromising the design by adding superfluous gimmicks.

FILTER REFERENCE The VCF Filters A voltage controlled filter is an audio filter where the cut-off frequency is altered by a DC control voltage rather than a variable resistor. This produces a much wider operating range and more control over the filter response to create unlimited combinations of tonal effect.
OPERATING LEVELS It is most important that the system level settings are correctly set. It is well known that many DJs push the level to maximum with meters peaking hard in the belief that they are getting the best from the system. THIS IS NOT THE CASE ! The best can only be achieved if the system levels are set within the normal operating range and not allowed to peak.
Do not unbalance the Xone:22 XLR outputs by shorting pin 3 to ground as this may damage the circuitry; for unbalanced operation connect the hot signal to pin 2 and the ground to pin 1.
Take great care to ensure that no harnesses become trapped and that all connectors are fully pushed home. Replace the screws and test the mixer for correct operation.
