Allen & Heath 6 XONE:DB4 User Guide

INTRODUCTION TO THE XONE:DB4

Congratulations on the purchase of your new XONE:DB4

The XONE:DB4 is a ground-breaking mixer featuring studio quality effects and performance

features that blur the boundary between DJ’ing and live production. Every feature has been

meticulously researched with a view to providing you, the DJ, with the ultimate creative tool.

The DB4’s quad FX core is based on the Allen & Heath iLive pro-touring console, but with FX

algorithms further developed for BPM conscious parameters and tight spectral control. Many of

the FX are new and unique to the DB4, and have been specifically designed to perfectly fit the DJ

environment.

All the loops and FX are automatically synchronised to the tempo of the song, so it is very easy

to build some amazing grooves and soundscapes without the problems of latency, low fidelity

and general hassle often associated with using software and laptops.

With the flexible input matrix, any audio source can be selected on any or all of the channels;

this allows for different processing to be applied to the same track on separate channels, or a

phrase sampled in the looper on one channel can be added to the mix later in the track.

The XONE:DB4 is more than a mixer with an effects unit; many parameters of each effect can

be altered and, along with the built in library of effects, this means that the scope for audio

manipulation is almost unlimited, allowing you to develop a totally unique sound in your mixes.

It is also perfectly at home in your production studio, where it can be used as a stereo multi-

channel effects processor, digitally inserted into your chosen DAW, using the flexible routing

options available on the built in 16 channel USB2.0 soundcard.

The XONE:DB4 is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. However, it is worth spending time

reading this manual to ensure you get the maximum from it.

We have had a lot of fun designing the DB4, and we are sure you will have even more fun using

it.

Best wishes

The XONE:DB4 design team
