Xone96: You mixed. We listened.
ANALOGUE. REMASTERED. Xone:96 draws on our rich heritage to create our most advanced analogue mixer yet, engineered from the ground up to deliver the legendary Xone analogue sound in the most flexible, powerful format.
Xone:92 users will feel instantly at home with the Xone:96’s layout. All four main stereo input channels feature the latest incarnation of our industry standard Xone 4-band EQ, the choice of countless international DJ artists.
Stereo Return channels A and B are fully-featured, and incorporate an all-new 3-band parametric EQ design, giving you even more control over how you style your sound.
DUAL 32-BIT 24 CHANNEL SOUNDCARD Unlock a world of creative possibilities. Xone:96 features two independent USB connections, each with 6 stereo inputs and outputs giving you a myriad of routing options.
State-of-the-art 96kHz/32-bit processing ensures the highest audio quality is passed between your laptops and the analogue engine.
Additionally the Xone:96 soundcard supports DVS control of Native Instruments’ TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 DJ software right out of the box.
DUAL XONE VCF FILTERS WITH CRUNCH Nothing comes close to the sound and power of the Xone VCF filter. In Xone:96 we’ve refined this classic design, preserving its unmistakable sonic signature while taking its performance to the next level.
Alongside the classic HPF, BPF, LPF, resonance control and frequency sweep layout, there’s CRUNCH, a controlled harmonic distortion that sits pre-filter in the circuit to give you a powerful new effect.
Xone:96 lets you route all six main channels to either filter.
TUNED FOR THE CLUB Underlining the professional club credentials of Xone:96 features two independent headphone CUE systems. Combined with the dual soundcard, these allow for back-to-back performances and smooth set transitions.
Dedicated booth outputs with 3-band booth EQ let you tune the monitor system perfectly.
And artists using complex, hybrid, multi-channel software will benefit from the simplicity of using a single USB to connect their computer to Xone:96.
TOTAL CONNECTIVITY Xone:96’s rear panel is fully-loaded with I/O.
Alongside all the analogue connections you’d expect to find, DJs will welcome the addition of 2 stereo sends, 4 stereo returns and a dedicated master insert.
Send 1 is switchable from Line to Hi-Z level, making it ideal for incorporating instrument level effects, like classic guitar pedals.
X-Link allows you to hook up Xone:K series controllers to the Xone:96 for hands-on control over your software, saving USB ports on your laptop.
MIDI I/O is catered for via the 5-pin connection on the rear panel, and via both USBs.
PREMIUM FADERS Built to last, Xone:96 features custom-designed 60mm linear VCA channel faders. Perfectly balanced, they offer smooth performance and precise control.
In the crossfader position, Xone:96 comes equipped with the industry-favourite Innofader Mini, complete with fader cut adjustment for our sharpest cut ever.
Definitely the most expensive unit in my set-up. But it has elevated everything running through it. I do not DJ, and the only reason I went for DJ mixers in the first place was 1: I needed a phono preamp and 2: I needed an equaliser. High-end audio gear do not have good equalisers. You are lucky to get treble and bass control. I NEED MID. This beast has a 4 band equaliser! More control over my mids then I ever had. But the sound quality? Crisp and clean. Listening to my records in a new light. These phono pre amps do not disappoint. I get 4 separate inputs for my two turn tables, one for my digital, and even one just for my cassette. But the Sound card. Wow. Running digital straight to the mixer sounds amazing. And I can even record off it. And I have been able to rig up to a new MilkDrop 3, so now all my analog music gets this amazing backdrop of colours to go with it. Brings me back to the good old days with Winamp. Messing around with the crunch setting has also been a lot of fun, feels like a guitar amp with the overdrive, and you can even run an effects pedal loop! Also, having a separate EQ for the booth out makes getting that sound perfect, even easier. Three thumbs up!

Best mixer ever
The filters are very playable and fun.
Digital flexibility is tremendous, I can jam 6 stereo DAW channels into the Xone and mix & tweak each channel with 4-band EQ, crunchy or smooth filters, and sweepable mids on the aux channels.
Now I need a delay/reverb unit for the aux bus!
Too much fun. This mixer is excellent for long evolving techno and house DJ mixes, but also fantastic as a mini mixing desk for producing any sound.
Comparing this to my old 1210's - feels like a solid upgrade, the motor and the plater feels great with a lot of power, matching speeds and beat-matching is easy and that was most important to me. The layout of the other controls and ports etc could be better (in my opinion) but I will get use to it. Thanks team for a prompt dispatches and help on these and hope they will last me a lifetime.
Necessary, fits well, but otherwise overpriced piece of plastic.
Hi Maria, the Decksavers are actually made of polycarbonate which is much stronger than regular plastic. They are pretty good value for the protection they offer. We get a lot of repairs back at the shop that have had liquid spilled in the unit - the cost of the repair is much higher than if they had purchased a Decksaver to keep liquid out.
I bought this cable to replace the USB-A to UCB-B cable that came with my mixer. This is more convenient as I can plug it directly into my laptop's USB-C port instead of a hub which I had to do with my previous cable. The bright colour helps me to identify my cable easily. Grant also gave me call before dispatching my item to offer some extra personalised service which was a nice touch. My order was dispatched same day and received on the next business day.
