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 dual-soundcards, 2 stereo sends, 4 stereo returns and dedicated master insert.
SND/RTN A is switchable between Line and Hi-Z levels, making it ideal for incorporating instrument level effects,
like classic guitar pedals, or legacy outboard hardware.
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 Output to external hardware is catered for via the 5-pin connection on the rear panel, and to computers via
USB 1 and USB 2 ports.
