Allen & Heath XONE:96 — The Club-Standard Analogue Mixer, Reimagined

The Allen & Heath XONE:96 is a 6+2 channel analogue DJ mixer that takes the soul of the acclaimed Xone:92 and rebuilds it for the modern hybrid booth. Two USB connections each carry six stereo I/O at 24-bit / 96 kHz with Traktor Scratch certification. It is the right choice for working DJs needing hybrid routing flexibility.

What Sets this mixer Apart

Two Xone:VCF analogue filters now include the new CRUNCH harmonic-distortion circuit, which sits pre-filter to add controlled warmth and edge. The four main channels use the latest Xone 4-band EQ, while stereo return channels A and B introduce an all-new 3-band parametric EQ, a dedicated master insert, two stereo sends with Send 1 switchable to Hi-Z, and X-Link for Xone:K controllers.

Dual USB Soundcard and Hybrid Connectivity

Two USB ports each carry six stereo I/O at 24-bit / 96 kHz for two-laptop setups, with MIDI over USB and 5-pin DIN plus X-Link over RJ45 for Xone:K controllers. Traktor Scratch certification means DVS users can plug in and play without additional drivers.

• USB Soundcards: Dual 24-channel at 24-bit / 96 kHz — two laptops in parallel with Traktor Scratch
• The unit also features 1 x RJ45 X-Link port, allowing for seamless integration of Xone:K controllers via a single cable.

4-Band EQ, Parametric Returns, and Dual VCF Filters

The four main channels use the latest Xone 4-band EQ with separate high-mid and low-mid controls, while stereo return channels A and B add a 3-band parametric EQ with a sweepable mid. Two fully analogue Xone:VCF filters with HPF, BPF, LPF, and resonance can be assigned to any of the six main channels, with CRUNCH adding controlled harmonic distortion before the filter.

• Main Channel EQ: 4-band with separate high-mid (~1.1 kHz) and low-mid (~300 Hz) — surgical separation between layered tracks
• The 2 x Xone:VCF filters support HPF, BPF, LPF, resonance, and CRUNCH, offering assignable dual-filter layering across all six channels.

Faders, Headphone Systems, and Club-Grade I/O

The 60 mm linear VCA channel faders are custom-designed and replaceable, while the crossfader slot ships with the industry-favourite Innofader Mini for sharp cuts and confident scratching. Two independent headphone cue systems with split-cue monitoring support back-to-back sets, and the booth output carries its own 3-band EQ.

• Channel Faders: 60 mm linear VCA, replaceable, 3 curve types — smooth, durable control for long sets
• An Innofader Mini (45 mm VCA, replaceable, 3 curve types) provides the sharpest cut and scratch response in its class.

Built for Working DJs, Club Booths, and Hybrid Live Performers

This model is the right choice for professional club DJs who need to host two laptops and outboard gear without compromise. Resident DJs benefit from the dual headphone cue systems and the dual soundcard that lets a second DJ prepare the next set silently, while hybrid performers gain Send 1's Hi-Z switching.

Heritage and the Xone Series

Designed in Cornwall, England, the Xone series is a reference standard in club booths worldwide. Released in 2018 as the direct successor to the Xone:92, the YRS-23 preserves the unmistakable Xone analogue sound while adding digital connectivity and routing flexibility.
