Allen & Heath Xone:92 MK2 — The Legendary Analogue Mixer Returns

Allen & Heath Xone:92 MK2 marks the return of the 4-channel analogue DJ mixer that defined club sound for two decades. Built around a 100% analogue signal path and mix-bus summing, it delivers the warmth and headroom that digital cannot replicate. Purpose-built for serious club, festival, and touring DJs, this mixer treats the craft as a physical, hands-on discipline.

What Sets the Mixer Apart

Mix-bus summing sets this mixer apart, routing any channel to either Mix 1 or Mix 2 on the device. The revised Xone:VCF filter — the same circuit that debuted in 2004 — now features silent switching borrowed from the Xone:96, plus refined tapers for extended frequency precision. Optimised RIAA preamps and a custom mini innoFADER Pro crossfader complete the upgrade.

Filter and EQ Architecture

Filter and EQ architecture is where the unit separates itself from every other mixer in its class. Two independent multimode analogue filters with silent switching allow seamless transitions.

• Filters: Dual Xone:VCF with HPF, LPF, BPF, notch, and all-pass modes — sweep from subtle warmth to wild resonant feedback.
• Channel EQ: 4-band with total kill on HF and LF, dual mid-frequency controls — extreme sonic contouring.
• The Mic EQ section features 4-band control with ±15 dB on all bands for precise vocal shaping.

Connectivity and I/O

Six stereo channels run simultaneously on the hardware, handling the most demanding hybrid vinyl-and-digital rigs.

• Phono Inputs: 4 RCA with optimised RIAA preamps — tailored for techno and house vinyl.
• Line Inputs: 4 RCA stereo — improved source-matching for digital sources.
• Regarding microphones, there are 2 XLR inputs with Clean Feed, and rear-panel switches bypass Booth and Record routing.
• Master Outputs: 2 stereo Mix (XLR), Booth (6.3 mm balanced), Record (RCA).
• MIDI Output: 5-pin DIN — real-time clock and CC signals.

Build Quality and Modulation

Built for night-after-night club and festival abuse, the chassis is rugged and bulletproof.

• Crossfader: Custom mini innoFADER Pro with 3-way curve switch — smoother and longer-lasting than the original.
• Channel Faders: VCA with 3-way global curve switch — variable response for any style.
• Modulation is handled by dual LFOs with Tap Tempo, X2, and MIDI sync, which provides rhythmic movement per filter.
• Dimensions: 320 × 358 × 88 mm — compact 4-channel footprint.
• Weight: 6 kg — solid feel without being a touring burden.

Who the Unit Is Built For

It is the right choice for professional club, festival, and touring DJs who need bulletproof analogue sound and extreme EQ control. Vinyl-only purists will appreciate the optimised RIAA preamps, while hybrid DJs benefit from improved source-matching and dual Aux sends. Onboard MIDI makes it ideal for performers integrating drum machines and synths into synchronized live rigs.

A Legacy of Analogue Excellence

Since the original Xone:92 debuted in 2004, the Xone series has been the manufacturer's flagship DJ line. Drawing on lessons from the Xone:96 and the limited-edition Mk1, the MK2 distills two decades of DJ feedback into a mixer that improves without sacrificing its iconic character.
