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.
INPUT CHANNEL CONTROLS Input level control Adjust so that the average music level lights the 0 LED on the meter, with the beats lighting the +3 to +6 LED. Turn down if the +9 Red LED is illuminated Input selector Switches between Phono (turntables) and Line (CD) 3-Band full kill EQ Turn anti-clockwise to kill a frequency band or clockwise to boost. If all bands are fully clockwise the signal will be muted Channel Meter Indicates the signal level through the channel.
MASTER CONTROLS FX loop on switch Press this switch to activate the external effect loop. Leave switched off if an external effects unit is not connected Master output Level Sets the signal level to the main XLR mix output Monitor output Level Sets the signal level for the local monitor (booth) output Filter Resonance control Changes the “Q” or sharpness of the VCF.
MASTER CONTROLS continued Headphone level Sets the level of the headphone output. Warning! Very high level can cause hearing damage! Cue/Master Switch In the up position (Cue) the headphones will monitor the channel signal before the faders, and the meters will display the pre fade channel signal level. Press to listen to the main mix output, pre the Master Level control. In this mode, the channel meters will display the stereo mix level, Left = 1, Right = 2.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS Line input Phono inputs Line input For connection to a line level device; (CD players etc) For connection to turntables only; this input has RIAA equalization for moving magnet cartridges. For connection to a line level device; (CD players etc) Note: these inputs can be converted to Line with internal jumper links Effects SND output Effects RTN input Connect this output to the input of an external effects unit. Connect this input to the output of an external effects unit.
FRONT PANEL CONNECTIONS Microphone EQ Headphone output 2 band EQ for adjusting the tonal balance of the DJ mic 1/4” jack headphone output socket. Use phones with a 30 to 70 ohms impedance. Microphone input Microphone Level Professional XLR balanced mic input. Use a low impedance dynamic hypercardioid Mic for best results. Adjusts the signal level of the mic input. If you are not using the mic, turn to minimum to prevent noise pick up.
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. Filter Type Select The filters provide two simultaneous filter types: high-pass, and low-pass. illuminated switch selects which type is active.
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. Peaking simply results in signal distortion, not more volume.
EARTHING The connection to earth (ground) in an audio system is important for two reasons: SAFETY - To protect the operator from high voltage electric shock, and AUDIO PERFORMANCE - To minimise the effect of earth (ground) loops which result in audible hum and buzz, and to shield the audio signals from interference. For safety it is important that all equipment earths are connected to mains earth so that exposed metal parts are prevented from carrying high voltage which can injure or even kill the operator.
SERVICING AND JUMPER SETTINGS How to replace the channel faders or crossfader If the faders, especially the crossfader, are subject to a lot of use they will, in time, wear out and need replacing. Intermittent or noisy operation is an indication that they are becoming worn. Using a propriety fader cleaner such as CaigLube might temporarily restore them, but DO NOT use on a new fader as it will wash away the factory applied grease.

FAULT FINDING No sound from mixer Check that the unit is powered on, and that an audio signal is connected to a channel input. Check that the PHONO/LINE switch is in the correct position for the type of music source connected, (PHONO for turntables, LINE for CD players. Check that the EQ controls are in the centre position. Raise the input channel LEVEL control until you see the meters displaying the music signal (also check that the CUE/MASTER button is up).
