Full Description

Internal USB soundcard

Experience amazing sound that's easier than ever to setup. The Allen & Heath Xone 43C Club & DJ Mixer eliminates the need for an external soundcard making it compatible for digital DJ software including Serato and Traktor. There 16 channels of 96kHz, 24-bit sound, this provides premium-grade and provides superb analogue audio quality, and will allow you to connect straight into your laptop with the USB cable. The soundcard allows you to control all 4 channels on Serato with the mixer.

Serato DVS ready and X:LINK

Ready to expand. The Xone 43C Mixer is already DVS upgrade-ready, making it an affordable solution for use with Serato DJ software. You will need to upgrade to the Serato DJ Club Kit to use full DVS control. Conveniently, the Xone 43C is fitted with an X:LINK allowing you to connect up the Xone:K series controllers to your setup.

Just plug in and get mixing. The Xone:K is already pre-mapped to control cues, loops and Serato DJ FX for all 4 decks allowing you to easily connect and get creative. The X:LINK provides you with hands-on control over software when used with Serato DJ. This also allows you to connect directly to the mixer without needing to connect your external FX into the connections on your laptop.

A wide selection of features

Never be stuck for choice. The Xone 43C still features all the functions from the Xone 43 including the legendary Xone filter, 3 band full kill EQ and X:FX for connecting and controlling external FX units. The Xone filter offers low pass, high pass and bandpass filtering, also resonance control. Plus you have the option to route the X:FX to the filter to add layers of FX and filtering.

A clear and intuitve layout is possible thanks to he backlit LEDs shows you which channel the FX filter is applied to. Additionally, you can use the X:FX for connecting up your favourite external FX unit for more hands-on creativity. What the X:FX does is it lets you use the dry/wet knobs on each channel of the mixer to send the amount of the effect from your FX unit to a channel.

Innofader compatible

A handy feature of the Xone 43C is that it is innofader compatible allowing you to upgrade the crossfader to a custom innofader crossfader for the ultimate performance. The stock crossfader on the Xone 43C is already solid and durable but if you are a scratch DJ Allen & Heath highly consider the innofader to be a popular choice among scratch DJs. The crossfader also features 3 different curve settings for you to choose from. Depending on your mixing style you can choose between either a smooth transition or a sharp response to match to your DJing and mixing style.
