About the Allen & Heath Xone:96

The Allen & Heath Xone:96 is a 6+2 analogue DJ mixer built on the legacy of the Xone:92, a booth standard since 2003. It keeps the analogue architecture, the 4-band Xone EQ and the twin VCF filters, and adds two internal 24-channel USB soundcards running at 32-bit/96 kHz. We offer Allen & Heath Xone:96 rental (hire) in Madrid and across Spain for clubs, festivals, back-to-back sets and productions that want the Xone sound without giving up Traktor DVS.

What it is rented for

This is the mixer techno and house DJs ask for when they mix with filters and EQ, and the natural choice for back-to-back sets thanks to its second cue system (PHONES 2). From our catalogue we pair it with Technics 1210 M5G or Technics 1200 MK7 turntables, Ortofon Concorde Club MKII Twin cartridges, Pioneer CDJ 3000 and a Funktion One Res 2 SH or Res 4 rig with F218 MKII bass enclosures. Its sends and returns take external effects like the AlphaTheta RMX Ignite, and the jack line inputs let you add a Roland TR-909 or SH-101 for hybrid live sets.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire the Allen & Heath Xone:96?

The rental price for the Allen & Heath Xone:96 is €60 excluding VAT. Tell us your dates, venue and whether you also need turntables, CDJs or a Funktion-One system and we will send a quote and confirm availability by email or WhatsApp.

What is the difference between the Xone:96 and the Xone:92?

The 96 keeps the 92's analogue architecture, 4-band EQ and VCF filters, and adds two 32-bit/96 kHz USB soundcards with Traktor DVS, the CRUNCH control, a second cue for back-to-back sets and an innoFADER crossfader; the LFO is gone. We rent both models.

Can I run Traktor or record my set on the Xone:96?

Yes. The two internal USB soundcards handle DVS with vinyl or CD timecode (the 96 ships Traktor Scratch certified) and can record or play back up to six stereo channels per USB port. Connect your laptop over USB-B; on macOS the mixer is class-compliant.
