Allen & Heath is introducing a
new product, part of the Xone range of DJ mix products, the Xone VF-1. This latest Xone product is a single
rack-space, universal analog stereo filter intended for live and studio use
that can interface with any mixer to create and manipulate sophisticated
audio filtering.
Styled similarly to the flagship Xone:V6 valve rotary DJ mixer, the VF-1's
circuitry is an enhanced version of the filters built into Allen & Heath's
Xone mixers, and offers three basic 24dB/octave valve filter types:
high-pass, band-pass and low-pass. The basic filter types can be combined to
create further filter types such as 'notch.'
The Xone VF-1 additionally offers MIDI capability, and also contains an
envelope follower and an LFO with both triangle and square wave outputs. A
resonance control with automatic limiter circuits enable high levels of
resonance to be used without causing the system to overload. One unique
feature of the VF-1 module is the inclusion of valve overdrive circuitry,
whereby a single control enables the user to dial-in an amount of valve
"warmth" while maintaining a constant output level.
