The Internet’s Opinion

From 3 professional reviews and 7 owner reviews: a fair amount of evidence.

All three professional reviews recommend it as the Xone:24 with a useful USB-C interface and powered hub, and the seven owners read at Thomann repeat the warm analogue sound, the Xone filter and the solid build. The reservations are one filter shared across channels, no built-in effects beyond a master insert, and sparse channel metering.

What people praise

  • Warm, clean, detailed analogue sound
  • The Xone filter, with high-pass, low-pass and resonance
  • Solid metal build with no play in the knobs
Show 5 more
  • The USB-C interface makes it a hub for DVS, streaming and laptops or iPads
  • Simple, uncluttered layout that is quick to learn
  • The aux channel works as a third source for a mic, a sampler deck or USB audio
  • Phono preamps are louder and cleaner than on the Xone:23 series
  • The mini innoFADER crossfader suits scratching

What to know first

  • One filter shared by every channel rather than one per channel
  • No built-in effects; the master insert cannot send single channels
  • Channel metering is a single LED per channel, with only the main meters showing levels

Our take

Rory TassellWritten from the sources on this page, not from a loan unit.

All three professional reviews recommend it as the Xone:24 with a 96 kHz USB-C interface, MIDI out and a powered hub, and the seven owners read at Thomann repeat the warm analogue sound, the Xone filter and the solid build. The reservations are one filter shared by every channel, no built-in effects beyond a master insert, and little channel metering. Buy it to mix records with a laptop or iPad; for vinyl alone, the Xone:24 does the same.

What it is

Status, October 2026: current. Allen & Heath still lists the Xone:24C beside the all-analogue Xone:24.

What it is

The Xone:24C is a compact 2+1 channel DJ mixer from Allen & Heath that pairs an analogue signal path with a USB-C audio interface (Allen & Heath product page). It was announced in October 2025 together with the Xone:24, and the pair replaced the Xone:23C and Xone:23 (gearnews). The mixing section is the Xone:24's: RIAA phono preamps, a three-band isolator EQ with total kill on channels 1 and 2, one Xone:VCF high-pass and low-pass filter with resonance, a 45 mm mini innoFADER crossfader with three curves, and a master insert for external effects. There are no built-in effects.

The C adds a class-compliant 24-bit, 96 kHz interface with three stereo inputs and three stereo outputs, set at power-up to Stream, DVS Pro or DAW mode, and every channel can play USB audio from a computer, iPad or phone. Two powered USB-C hub ports replace the X:Link socket of earlier Xone mixers and take a Xone:K3 or other class-compliant controllers, and the faders, crossfader, filter and cue buttons send MIDI (Xone:24C User Guide). macOS and iOS need no driver; Windows uses Allen & Heath's ASIO driver. djay Pro has supported it since version 5.6.

The rear panel has two phono and three line inputs on RCA, a combi input for a dynamic mic, a balanced XLR master, RCA booth and record outputs, the RCA insert send and return and an earth post; headphones take 1/4" or 3.5 mm jacks. It measures 190 x 314 x 108 mm and weighs 2.8 kg. The box holds the mixer, a DC power supply with IEC cable, a QR card and a safety booklet.
