Allen & Heath launches the Xone:3D DJ controller
12 09 2005The Xone:3D is a combination of 4-channel DJ mixer, a multi-channel USB sound-card and MIDI controller with automatic BPM synchronization. It looks like this is the perfect tool for laptop-DJs and producers who are working with software like Ableton’s Live or Native Instruments’s Traktor DJ.
Features
- 4 multi-input channels – for phono, line, or soundcard
- 3 band, full cut EQ isolator (+6dB/off)
- 2 FX sends with pre/post selection (internal on FX2)
- Crossfade and filter assignment
- Comprehensive cue system
- High quality dual rail VCA faders
- 2 analogue VCF filters with low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, resonance frequency, and filter ‘on’ switch
- Assignable LFO with depth control
- 2 stereo returns - can be routed to main mix or either of the filters
- Main mix and booth outputs
- Headphone monitor with mix/cue level control
- VCA crossfader
- MIDI mapping from several mixer functions

looks like a perfect mixer for me. (as my laptop soundcard is too noisy). have you found any information about prices (list/street prices), or when they put in on the market ?

Hi Mich,
keep an eye on the xone:3d forum:

Instead of the laptop soundcard you could use a PCMCIA or external USB/Firewire audio interface. I am using the Firewire Audiophile from M-Audio.
