Allen & Heath XONE:92 MK2 - Harmony Audio HC12MIXLT Bundle

The Allen & Heaths Xone:92 mixer has been a staple of DJs across the globe, from vinyl-only OGs to aural innovators and nightclub basements to six-figure crowds at your favorite festivals. Renowned for its adaptability and all-analog character, the Xone:92 has endured as the leading choice of premium performance for 20 years. Due to the distinctive sonic character of its predecessor, designing the Xone:92 Mk2 required a meticulous approach to preserving its hallmark sound while updating and upgrading core features and capabilities. To strike this balance, Allen & Heath turned to their Xone:96 and limited-edition version of the original Xone:92, revamping the lauded Xone:VCF (Voltage-controlled Filter) and phono preamps to capitalize on the strides made with each respective mixer, distilled for the Mk2. A custom innoFADER Pro features a methodically tuned crossfading curvature while across-the-board improvements and enhancements to the 4-band EQ, faders, switches, source-matching, and stereo-trimming ensure your mixes are seamlessly supported. With extensive modulation and MIDI capabilities supplementing the Xone:92 Mk2s versatile auxiliary architecture, Allen & Heaths masterclass mixer illustrates why improving upon a performance powerhouse might take 20 years. And its been worth the wait.
The original Xone:92 was celebrated for the distinctive output of its analog architecture, Xone:VCF, multimode filtering, and flexible 4-band sonic contouring. The Xone:92 Mk2 perfects the iconic Xone:VCF twofold. Optimizing the control curve and refining the VCFs tapers significantly increases the precision of its frequency position, with a detailed resolution to nail your sound shaping. Moreover, the Xone:92 Mk2 draws from Allen & Heaths Xone:96 mixer to introduce silent switching to the Xone:VCF a lauded mixing tool that makes sound design, expression, switching filters, and mixing a seamless, unobtrusive experience. The Xone:92 Mk2s mini innoFADER Pro crossfader was painstakingly developed and custom-tuned to match classic P&G-style faders, ensuring greater accuracy across an expanded, smoother range of mixing. Whats more, the phono preamps were updated to utilize the enhanced topology that the limited-edition Mk1 model used. These RIAA preamps reinforce the aural aesthetics that defined the original while bolstering the sweet spots to faithfully preserve and reproduce every nuance of vinyl-only DJ sets. Finally, the Xone:92 Mk2 implements a Clean Feed bus for its dual mic inputs, adding switches to the mixers rear panel that let you toggle whether the microphone signal is routed to both the Booth and Record outputs or skips them altogether. While the Mk2s expanded performance capabilities owe to new features and components, the 20-year tenure of the Xone:92 Mk2s predecessor gave Allen & Heath plenty of time to discern which updates, upgrades, and enhancements would support the mixers continued rein without sacrificing whats made it so special to DJs around the world.
