Twin
DSP FX Engines
Massive
FX Library
Boasting a massive FX library of more than 50 FX presets divided into 5 FX
types: Delays/loopers, Reverbs, Resonators, Modulators and Damage, Xone:DB2
allows you to dig deep and get hands-on with your music. From subtle FX washes
to total transformation of your sound - you’re in control.
FX Cascade
The two FX engines can be cascaded, or chained, to
run the output of FX-X to the input of the FX-Y, allowing the audio to be
processed by any combination of two different effects. Additionally any channel
routed to FX-X can be processed by both engines, but the single effect on the
FX-Y engine can still be accessed by routing the channel to Y.
Editable
FX Parameters
Each FX engine has a dedicated expression control and a rotary pot to set the
wet/dry level, whilst further tweaking can be performed using the global
controllers under the screen.
Input Matrix
Each of DB2’s four input channels has a full input matrix that can select from
four analogue (Line or RIAA), four USB, or two digital sources, allowing for a
wide variety of audio sources to be connected simultaneously. The same source
can also be selected on multiple channels.
Trimodal EQ
Xone:DB2 adopts the fresh approach to creative equalisation introduced on DB4.
The EQs can be used in three different modes - standard asymmetric EQ
(+6/-26dB), total Kill (+6dB/OFF with a 24dB/octave slope), or
High-Pass/Low-Pass filter with adjustable resonance.
Mic/Line Input
With 2 band EQ, gain, cue and mix level and with full access to FX.
High Visibility OLED
Display
The OLED display is clearly visible, even in bright sunlight, and displays
channel FX selection and current BPM, as well as being an easy interface for
the Menu setup functions.
Lightweight chassis
DB2’s lightweight aluminium chassis is designed to make touring with the
console easy.
Integral soundcard
The built-in, multi-channel USB2 soundcard allows replay and recording from
computer-based audio software for 4 stereo sends and 4 stereo returns.
MIDI control
All controls (except Mic and Phones level) send MIDI data. The mixer can double
up as a MIDI controller for DJ software via the MIDI shift button, which allows
the FX selection controls to send MIDI data without changing the mixer
settings. DB2 can generate internal MIDI clock which can be used to control the
tempo of a connected DAW via USB and the ability to change the mixers MIDI channel.
X:LINK
X:LINK uses a standard RJ45 connector and distributes power and data, allowing
connection to X:LINK compatible devices, saving USB ports on your computer.
Spatial Xover
Useful
output processing tool for dealing with poor room acoustics, less than ideal
speaker placement, as a diagnostic tool for phase imbalance, or as an effect to
change the bass sound focus
Pro-X Fader Option
Retro-fit
Pro-X Fade option kit for Xone:DB2. Pro-X Fade uses 100% conductive
plastic tracks and a wider stem for extended fader life. Pro-X Fade also
allows the DJ to adjust both the feel of the fader and the cut-in point to suit
their personal style. Speak to your approved Allen & Heath dealer or
distributor for purchasing and fitting information.
