Technical details and features of the Allen & Heath Xone 43

The Xone 43 is a 4-channel mixer with separate phono and line inputs, offering a wide range of connection options for turntables and CD players. It also has a flexible mic/aux channel with XLR and RCA connections so that both microphones and additional audio sources can be easily integrated. The microphone channel is equipped with a 2-band EQ that enables precise adjustment of the microphone sound.

The heart of the Xone 43 is the VCF filter system, which offers DJs three filter modes (Low Pass, High Pass and Band Pass) and separate controls for frequency and resonance. This analog filter can be used to create dynamic and creative effects that add a special touch to any DJ set. The 3-band equalizers per channel allow for flexible sound shaping and offer a total kill on the frequencies so that DJs can adjust their tracks optimally.

Crossfader and faders for different DJ styles

The Xone 43 has an interchangeable crossfader that can be configured with three different curves for blending and scratching styles. This can also be replaced by an Innofader, which is particularly advantageous for scratch DJs. The VCA faders offer smooth, highly dynamic volume control and are ideal for fine, precise fades. The length of the faders is 45 mm and the crossfader is designed for easy customization or interchangeability, allowing DJs to configure the setup that suits them at any time.

Output options and connectivity

The Xone 43 offers a variety of balanced and unbalanced output connections, allowing seamless integration into different DJ setups. The balanced XLR main mix output provides professional audio quality and can be connected directly to a PA system or mixer. For added flexibility, a dedicated booth output and a record output are available to record the mix separately or adjust the booth volume independently.

Thanks to the external FX loop (send/return) function with a dry/wet control per channel, the Xone 43 can be easily integrated into complex setup chains. DJs can easily use external effect devices and control their intensity for each channel, allowing for individual and creative sound design.

Robust design and ease of use

With a size of 320 x 110 x 370 mm and a weight of 5.1 kg, the Xone 43 is compact yet extremely robust. The build quality is designed to withstand the rigors of touring. The mixer is equipped with rubber feet to keep it stable on any surface and features a 9-section signal level meter for precise level control. The channel equalizer offers adjustment from +6dB to total kill, while the microphone EQ function offers +/- 12 dB of adjustment.
