Citation : VCF LINK 2-1. Press this switch to link
FILTER 2 VCF to FILTER 1VCF. FILTER 2 FREQ
can now be controlled by the FREQ VCF sweep
control of FILTER 1. This can be used to
synchronise the cut-off point of both filters. For
instance, assign Channel 1 to Filter 1 and Channel
2 to Filter 2. Select a low pass filter on filter 1 and
a high pass on filter 2. With both filters ON and the
link switch selected, the low frequencies of channel
1 will be accurately joined to the high frequencies of
channel 2. This can be used to produce to
incredibly smooth mixes or to mix tracks that would
otherwise clash when mixed conventionally.

Citation : Is it true that Xones are made in China, and if so, why are you doing this - is it a cost-cutting exercise? Are the UK-built Xones better quality and more reliable than the Chinese built versions?

A. We have been building the Xone:62, 32 and 02 models in China since summer 2004. They are built to exactly the same standard as the UK ones, using the same components, and tested on our own test equipment in the same way. As the Xone range grew and orders increased we had to look for an additional assembly plant in order to meet demand, as our UK factory was already operating at full capacity. We were keen to supply the demand for our products, but we were concerned about the rumours about exploitation in China, so we needed to find an internationally respected manufacturing partner with whom we could work to arrive at an acceptable production process. So, our engineering team in the UK designs the product, we specify the components to be used (the same as in our UK-built products - i.e. Alps pots and switches, P&G faders, Analog Devices IC etc.), specify the test stages and provide the test gear to ensure our standards are met. We regularly audit the production processes along with the standards accreditation bodies such as ITS to certify the standard safety and quality issues. The only difference is the direct labour content, and we're pleased to confirm that the working conditions and environment are exceptionally good in the factory we use. Finally, we're glad to say that we're very pleased with the quality of product the Chinese factory is achieving - there is NO discernible difference between the mixers built in China and those built in the UK.
