Allen & Heath - XB-14-2
10-Channel Compact Broadcast Mixer
A Perfect Broadcasting ToolThe Allen & Heath XB-142 provides a wide range of specialised broadcast features that often come at a much higher cost, including telephone communication (telco) channels, mic channel ON switch sensing, stereo channel start/cue outputs for playback device control, automatic muting of speaker outputs and much more.
The XB-142 mixer utilizes new features and styling based on feedback from the many broadcasters who have built their operations around the original XB-14. With a vast range routing options, dual stereo channels for up to 7 stereo sources, and a dedicated Audition bus included. Enhanced microphone preamps and stereo channel gain range means the XB-142 satisfies the needs of small radio and internet broadcasters along with larger studios with multiple rooms. With no less than 27 logic I/O for remote control and 15 configuration switches, XB-142 is an impressively flexible solution.
At A Glance
• 4 mic/line channels, 4 dual source stereo channels & 2 Telco channels
• HPF and 3-band, swept mid EQ on mono channels, 2-band EQ on stereo channels
• Variable high pass / low pass filters on Telco channels
• 2-stage, padless pre-amp design
Self / Producer Operated
Features To FitIf you're looking for a mixer for a self-operated broadcast situation, or you have a separate studio and engineer, the XB series has features to fit. Individual monitor mixes can be created for operators, guests or presenters, so the engineer can check levels and cue sources while the presenter or guest can listen to a different source.
The engineer/producer can communicate to the guest or presenter using the Talk feature and speaking off-air with telephone callers. The facility for remote control of channel mutes from the studio using the remote interface connectors, perfect for studio situated mute or ‘cough’ switches.
Built With Convenience In Mind
DUOPRE PREAMPSThe XB-142 pre-amps employ a two stage design, with carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain is a huge range of 69dB and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, allowing for better control of signal level. There is no “pad” switch, or pad circuit, line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket, offering the great advantage of lower noise when using the line input.
USBXB-142 comes with a full duplex USB soundcard built-in and several useful routing options for recording and broadcast applications.
AUDITION BUSThe dedicated stereo audition bus can be used for auditioning or off air recording. Pressing the button marked AUD on the channels required transfers the mix from the program feed over to the audition bus.
TELCOBoth Telco channels provide a selectable clean-feed output (LR PGM, Aux or Audition bus), variable high pass and low pass filters to reduce the frequency range of the channel when used with a telephone caller, and TALK button.
