It comes in a compact package and is packed with radio-friendly options usually found on large-format broadcast consoles.
This Mixer allows for an efficient and flexible workflow with features such as telephone-communication (Telco) channels, fader-start sensing, automatic muting of speaker outputs, stereo channel-start/cue outputs for CD deck-transport control, separate headphone mixes for guests, an audition bus, and more.
Separate monitor mixes can be created enabling the operator to check levels and cues without interfering with the listening sources of the presenter or guests. Using remote-interface connectors, mono channels can be remotely muted from studio-located mute or cough switches (available separately). In addition, the Talk to Guest switch allows for the operator to communicate off-air with guests, presenters, and telephone callers.
The audio circuitry of the XB-142 features four mic/line channels equipped with high-gain DuoPre preamps and 3-band EQs to help cut sibilance & mic popping, and 2-band EQs on stereo channels for use with music. The full-duplex USB sound card offers playback and record to & from a computer as well as voice over IP (VoIP), and is compliant with Mac & Windows core audio drivers.Flexible Routing OptionsFour mic/line mono channelsFour dual-source stereo channels and a total of up to seven stereo sourcesAux bus for external processing, effects, recording or auditioningMix B for recording an independent mix to the main program mix, or creating a clean feed source from selected channelsAudition bus for auditioning or recording telephone conversations27 logic I/O for remote control15 configuration switchesOutput matrix with three headphone outs allows separate mixes for engineer/producer and two guestsTalk button for off-air conversation with guestsDuoPre PreampsThe four mono channels feature DuoPre technology which employs a two-stage design to control the input gain structure of the channel. The first stage provides 69 dB of gain for the signal at the XLR input. The second stage is activated by plugging the signal into the TRS line-input jack. This gain-staging eliminates the need for pad circuit & pad switch, and ensures that the signal remains in the optimum region of its dynamic range for lower noise and distortion.USBThe XB-142 is equipped with a stereo bi-directional sound card for playback, recording, or voice over IP (VoIP) to and from a computer. Its USB 1.1 audio codec is compliant with USB 2.0 ports and Windows & Mac core audio drivers.TelcoTwo Telco channels provide a selectable clean-feed output (L/R PGM, Aux or audition bus), variable high-pass and low-pass filters which are useful when a caller is connected via a low-quality
telephone line, and a talk button that allows for communication with a telephone caller without the presenter’s voice going to the program mix.Remote ControlThe mono mic/line channels feature fader-start sensing to control external devices or to automatically mute speaker outputs to prevent feedback. The stereo channels are equipped with start & cue logic outputs used for CD deck transport control. Mic/line input channels can be remotely muted using an external “cough” switch (available separately).Robust ConstructionThe XB-142 features individual vertically-mounted channel circuit
boards with rotary controls fixed to the front panel using metal nuts. This robust construction allows for removing channels from the mixer one at a time and for easily changing faders, making servicing minimally disruptive.Additional FeaturesHPF and 3-band, swept-mid EQ on mono channels2-band EQ on stereo channelsSmooth-ride 100mm fadersAuto-mute on control-room outputsXLR main outputs with insertsExternal-meter socketInput-signal and peak metering?In the BoxAllen & Heath XB-142 Compact Broadcast MixerAC Power CordType A-B USB CableLimited 1-Year WarrantyUser Manual7.7 MBTable of ContentsDescriptionFlexible Routing OptionsDuoPre PreampsUSBTelcoRemote ControlRobust ConstructionAdditional FeaturesAllen & Heath XB-142 SpecsMixerNumber of Analog Input Channels14 (6 Mono / 4 Stereo)Number of Mic Preamps4Analog Output Channels1 x Stereo Master Output1 x Mono Master Output1 x Stereo Control Room/Monitor Output2 x Stereo Foldback/Cue Output1 x Stereo Headphone OutputSignal ProcessingBuilt-In EffectsNoneDigital AudioSample Rates32 / 44.1 / 48 kHzBit Depth16-BitPerformanceHeadroomAnalog Output: +21 dBMain Mix: +24 dBFrequency ResponseMic Input to Main Output:10 Hz to 30 kHz +0.5/-1 dB (30 dB Gain) Line Input to Main Output:10 Hz to 20 kHz +0.5/-1 dB (Unity Gain) Stereo Input to Main Output:10 Hz to 30 kHz +0.5/-1 dB Max Input LevelXLR Mic Input:+17 dBu 1/4″ TRS Line Input:+30 dBu 1/4″ TRS Insert:+21 dBu XLR Line Input:+30 dBu (max) Output LevelXLR Main Output:+4 dBu (Nominal) +25 dBu at Max Gain RCA Mono Output:0 dBu (Nominal) +21 dBu at Max Gain Main/Insert Send:-2 dBu (Nominal) +21 dBu at Max Gain Aux Output:0 dBu (Nominal) +21 dBu at Max Gain RCA Alt Output:0 dBu (Nominal) +21 dBu at Max Gain Crosstalk-95 dB (+10 dBu, 1 kHz to 10 kHz) EIN-124 dBu at Max Gain (150-Ohm Input)Noise FloorMain Output:< -100 dBu (at Unity Gain, 22 Hz to 22 kHz) Alt Output:< -100 dBu (at Unity Gain, 22 Hz to 22 kHz) Aux Output:< -85 dBu (at Unity Gain, 22 Hz to 22 kHz) THD+NMic Input to Main Output:< 0.01% at Unity Gain (+10 dBu, 1 kHz) Mic Input to Main Output:< 0.01% at +30 dB Gain (+10 dBu, 1 kHz) Line Input to Main Output:< 0.01% at Unity Gain (0 dBu, 1 kHz) Stereo Line Input to Main Output:< 0.01% at Unity Gain (+10 dBu, 1 kHz) ConnectivityUSB1 x USB Type-B (USB 1.1, I/O)PowerAC Input Power100 to 240 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz (T 10 A 250 V) Power Consumption30 WPhysicalRack MountableNoDimensions15.2 x 4.1 x 18.3" / 385 x 103 x 465?mmWeight16.5?lb / 7.5?kgPackaging InfoPackage Weight20 lbBox Dimensions (LxWxH)20.5 x 17.2 x 9.5"Allen & Heath XB-142
