Allen & Heath Xone 4D
The XONE:4D has evolved from our class-leading, revolutionary XONE:3D, the unique performance DJ controller.
The Xone:4D enables the seamless integration of computer-based digital media into the traditional DJ workspace, with an
enhanced feature set. It combines a fully featured, high specification professional analogue DJ mixer with 105 MIDI
controls with a completely new, 96 kHz / 24-bit, 20 channel Allen & Heath-developed USB 2.0 soundcard. The progressive
XONE:4D has been developed in conjunction with some of the worlds most cutting-edge DJ/producers
Mixer
The mixer section is based on the award-winning Xone:92
and features 4 triple-input stereo channels, 3 band total
kill EQ, 2 stereo effects sends, 2 VCF filters with LFO, VCA
crossfader and dual-rail channel faders, DJ mic and cue
monitoring system.
The assignable LFO has an editable step-filter function,
encouraging creative combinations of the tempo-detecting
BPM counter and tap tempo. Each MIDI fader becomes a
filter cut-off frequency, enabling users to draw their own
tempo-locked LFO waveform.
A new BPM section includes a 16-bit tempo detecting
circuit, which constantly monitors the BPM and outputs a
MIDI clock to help synchronize MIDI-controlled music
replay software with external source program material.
Stereo FX sends can be used with external equipment
such as effects units and samplers and both FX sends can
be routed to the USB audio system and sent to the PC.
The FX2 hardware output can be switched to act as a Main
Mix record output.
MIDI controller
The Xone:4D provides full control of external MIDI devices
including the most sophisticated DJ performance
computer environments. There are 105 MIDI controls on
the mixer surface, and with the use of the shift function,
they allow 227 mappable MIDI messages to be sent. The
BPM counter provides MIDI start/stop and clock, while a
fader pickup algorithm allows seamless movement
between the layers.
USB soundcard
Xone:4D features a 20-channel USB2.0 soundcard, featuring
4 analogue stereo inputs and outputs, transmitting audio at
up to 96kHz with 24 bit resolution. It uses USB to interface
the mixer audio and MIDI to a PC where the sound may be
manipulated in real time using any music software
application.
The soundcard also produces SPDIF, COAX and optical
digital inputs and outputs. A low latency ASIO driver is
provided for audio streaming between the 4D and PC, and
each mixer channel has its own soundcard input routing
switches, allowing flexible output to or from the PC.
