Allen & Heath Xone V6
Rotary Club Mixer
Xone:V6 is an echo of the earliest days of pro audio, when idealistic
individuals created outstanding products free from cost or time constraints.
Such creations were never cheap. Nor did they sell in their thousands.
But they did become landmark design classics.
Allen Heath's mission for Xone:V6 was simply to build the highest quality
club mixer ever. They painstakingly refined the signal paths to optimize
audio transparency. Hundreds of the best quality components were evaluated
and of these only the very finest were approved for the project. The result
is a mixer that gives great recordings the space and freedom to express
their full warmth and clarity.
Input Channels
6 dual stereo channels with switchable sources [RCA]. CH1-4 are RIAA /
Line, CH5-6 are Line / Line [RIAA inputs can be internally configured
to line level if desired]. A rotary gain trim control knob is located
in the meter housing on each channel - internal options for 0 /+6 / +10
dBu matching
EQ
A large rotary control for high pass filter is provided on each channel,
which sweeps from 30Hz to 600Hz - this is usually the only EQ needed as
low end program can be filtered out as channels are mixed, thus preventing
phasing and overload. The filter can be switched out using the hi-pass
toggle switch. Insert points on each channel [rear - RCA] provide external
processing access
Cue
Intelligent cue system. Large chromed push buttons on each channel - illuminated
by blue LED. Single push operation and auto-cancelling. Headphone monitoring
incorporates a 'mix/cue' preview control, headphone level, and bass-cut
/ HF-lift tone control. Front and rear headphone jacks are provided
Microphone input
High quality mic input. Metal shrouded balanced XLR connector on rear
panel. Phantom power can be internally selected. A level control and 2
band EQ [120Hz / 2.5kHz] are on the front panel. A toggle switch selects
mic on [when off, mic can be cued in headphone monitor]. Rear panel switch
routes the mic to the booth output if needed. An insert point [TRS] jack
is provided for external processing
Insert
Stereo Insert points [RCA] for each channel provide access to use external
processing such as FX or EQ. Possible future options for V6 may interconnect

Valve [Tube] Section
Channels 5-6 each have a stereo valve [tube] preamplifier - ideal for
mellowing harsh digital music sources
Master Out
Rotary control for level. 2 band EQ providing +/- 6dB @ 80Hz and 10kHz.
Balanced XLR outputs [+4dBu]. Insert points [TRS] & additional [TRS]
jack -2dBu outputs and recording [RCA, -10dBV] outputs are also provided.
Twin 1950s design illuminated VU meters provide accurate output level
monitoring
PSU
Custom - external, wallmount power supply with unique intelligent circuitry
which checks and monitors the mains AC voltage, and automatically configures
the supply to suit. Voltage ranges from 100-265V @ 50/60Hz can be tolerated.
Output is 60V up to 2 Amps with very low noise.
