\"Xone:96\"<\/p>\n

After weeks of teasing, Allen & Heath have announced its new Xone:96 club mixer.<\/p>\n

The successor to the much-loved Xone:92, which has been on the market for 15 years, the 96 sticks to the template set by that classic model. However, it includes many new features aimed at integrating it into today\u2019s digital DJ world.<\/p>\n

The 96 retains the analog sound, four band EQ, and filters of the 92, but adds a pair of 32 bit 96 kHz soundcards, which are DVS compatible. The mixer is already supported in the latest version of Traktor Scratch.<\/p>\n

There is a second independent headphone cue circuit, allowing two DJs to perform on the mixer at the same time, and extra return channels for advanced effects routing.<\/p>\n

Crossfader users will be pleased to hear that the 96 ships with a Mini innoFADER, which means the mixer is a lot more usable for scratching than the 92.<\/p>\n

The 96 will be available in August with a suggested retail price of $1,999. More details can be found on Allen & Heath’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
