Xone:92 For Tokyo Club

Friday, 03 June 2005 20:48

One of Tokyo's highest profile nightclubs, Space Lab Yellow, has installed an Allen & Heath Xone:92 professional DJ mixer in the main DJ booth. The addition is part of a refurbishment of the lounge and bar spaces, and adds to the club's existing system, which contains an ML5000 VCA console, Xone:62 and Xone:464 DJ/club mixer.

The venue has hosted the promotional night World Connection since 1991,
bringing top DJs and performers from overseas and developing new talent.

Yellow's sound engineer, Mr. Kikuchi, commented:

"In a nutshell, Allen & Heath's sonic quality is in a different class, and when I installed the Xone:92 it was as if I could actually see the sound. The high frequencies are sharp and clear, while the bass feels like somebody is beating a massive kick drum. I'm astounded by the mixer's huge cosmic sound scale - it's absolutely like no other!"

According to Yellow's PR manager, Ms. Ichikawa, the Xone DJ mixers are the most popular choice for visiting artists, which include John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, King Unique, Futureshock, Monolake, Francois K, Terry Farley, Carl Craig, and Rhythm & Sound.

Ms. Ichikawa concludes:

"The increase in laptop DJ's using Ableton Live and NI Tractor means that our choice in a new mixer not only ensures that we have the best sound quality and professional features available but also that we can provide the right tool for the latest DJ'ing techniques."
