[. . . ] The equipment has not been subject to misuse either intended or accidental, neglect, or alteration other than as described in the User Guide or Service Manual, or approved by ALLEN & HEATH. Any necessary adjustment, alteration or repair has been carried out by ALLEN & HEATH or its authorised agent. This warranty does not cover fader wear and tear. The defective unit is to be returned carriage prepaid to ALLEN & HEATH or its authorised agent with proof of purchase. [. . . ] That is your art. . . Overview of the Application This diagram shows an example hook-up to demonstrate how the XONE:02 can be connected in a typical DJ application. Note that the connector types on the equipment you connect to may be different to that shown. Use cables appropriate to your application. Please read the INSTALLATION section before connecting to your equipment. The following describes this example application: DJ Microphone and Headphones: The DJ plugs in the preferred headphones and microphone. A second mic for the MC may also be required. The console cue system works with the headphones to let the DJ cue tracks and preview the mix before going live. Mix music sources: Two dual input channels are used for the mix music sources. Here, both a turntable and a CD deck are plugged into each, one for each side of the crossfader. The turntable magnetic cartridges plug into the RIAA equipped phono inputs, the CD into the line inputs. This gives the DJ the choice of vinyl or CD mixing. Adjust this so that the CUE METER averages 0dB with loudest moments reading +6. Adjust the VCA MASTER LEVEL so that it normally operates near the top of its travel. Make sure the amplifier/speaker system has been correctly calibrated for the loudest volume required at the channel fader top position. Boosting the EQ also adds gain to the system. Reduce by turning back the LEVEL control if the meter red peak LEDs flash. Adjust the HEADPHONES and BOOTH monitor controls for safe listening levels. The diagram illustrates the operating range of the audio signal. For normal music the signal should range between ­6 and +6 on the meters with average around 0dB. This allows enough HEADROOM for unexpected peaks before the signal hits its maximum CLIPPING voltage and distorts. It also achieves the best SIGNAL-TO-NOISE-RATIO by keeping the signal well above the residual NOISE FLOOR (system hiss). The DYNAMIC RANGE is the maximum signal swing available between the residual noise floor and clipping. [. . . ] Also check that the turntable headshell and cartridge are correctly aligned and plugged in. ? J The MIX meters reads fine but the signal is distorted. Switch the meters to CUE and check that the channels are not peaking red. If they are, the output meter may still read fine if the fader or master level control is not set fully up. Reduce the input level control if the channel meter reads too high. ? Only one side of the stereo mix is working. [. . . ]
