3:39 you pointed out a slight discrepancy on the meter... You mentioned that you were going to explain why later in the video, but i dont think you did. Can you explain the reason as i have a similar occurrence on my PX5... Thanks!
Hi Sebastian, Thanks for the message. For the optimum S/N ratio of your system. It’s best to have the mixer running at unity with master set around ‘7’, then turn up the amplifier to a comfortable listening level. You may need to check or adjust for the amplifier’s input sensitivity to ensure that you’re not overloading the input. This will either be refrenced in the product user guide or the equipment itself. FYI, 23C like most pro audio will run at +4dBu (nominal) +28dBu (max). More specs listed on page 22 of the UG; www.allen-heath.com/media/AP9433_5_X23C_UG.pdf Thanks, Luke
I've just got my PX5 through and it's a beautiful sounding mixer. Are the components the same as the 96/92. I've used all three in club and home environments and to my ears they sound very similar, absolute quality. What is the best way to set up unity gain on the master, 7 like on the 96?
Hi Antonio, Thanks for the message. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your new PX5. This mixer is a professional analogue device, which is built upon the sonic heritage of the A&H sound. All our Xone products are built from the same communal stock components, with variation on design and components here and there. Which does give each Xone mixer its own unique coloration. But it’s always to a level that is pleasing to our evaluation engineers’ hearing when in development. We are just glad to know that you are also happy with it. All the best, Luke
great video. There is something not clear to me. When the master meter shows 0dB that means we have a 4dBu at the master output. What does correspond the 0dB on the individual channel meter?
Hi, Thanks for the message, +4dB is the standard for professional equipment. This, however, is only local to the main output stage. The channel meter and main mix bus operate at 0dB for unit, this is so the user can clearly see the headroom of the stages and system. Furthermore, this is also only relative to where you have the master level control set. This can vary between Xone models. Best regards, Luke
@@xonedjofficial thanks for your reply. I think you meant +4dBu. That is clear for the master meter and I guess that the same metering circuit is used for both master and channel meter. As we know dB does not mean anything since it is a relative quantity. This is the reason why I was wondering to what 0dB corresponds on the channel meters. Unity gain ok, but it still depends on the actual voltage level coming out of the GAIN and EQ stage.

The refence is unloaded for analogue hardware, yes. The channel VU is post-EQ, the master VU is post-channel fader. Therefore, the Channel VU will display the exact voltage that is hitting the channel VCA. The master VU will show the exact voltage of the summation of all channels that are being routed to the master bus. Best regards, Luke
RME was able to convert their FF800 interface to be class comPliant. I understand you couldn’t update the db4 for the new Mac OS. So, it makes users feel abandoned with an expensive unit and no course for action. I understand that everything can’t be supported forever, but if other companies can convert their sound cards to be class compliant can the db4 be converted? Alternatively, can the sound card be upgraded to a newer version that is class compliant. I believe users would pay for that. Or can the audio routing be disabled and Convert the usb to midi instead? I think that would have been a good work around since djs can get a different sound card.
The LFO was a great feature that made the 92 stand out, i don't get it why a Crunch in the filter, but anyway.. It has two filters, so it could have had a Crunch in one filter and the LFO in the other
because when i record a dj set it doesnt matter if i use usb output or rca rec output, it seem like you record to very low level and even doing a master after record cant get proper levels like the set i heard from the people, can yo explaing in detail how you shold record a dj set with the xone 96 properly please

Thank you for this excellent video! As a semi-experienced DJ I learnt a lot!
Thanks for posting this series of q&a. I've had my 96 for 2 weeks and this really helps
Thank you! Always very helpful.

Hi, i have a XOne 23C. Is it always better to have the Master around 7 and to turn down (or up) the volume on the PA?
