Introduction
The DATEQ XTC II is a battle mixer with some unique additional functions.
The XTC II has five channels: four fader channels, and one separate microphone channel.
Various sources like CD-players, computers and turn-tables can be connected to the fader
channels.
The XTC II has four 60mm ALPS faders to make very fast mixes. All faders are VCA-controlled.
The tone-controls are tuned for the DJ: sparkling high, a clear mid and a groovy bass. All
frequency bands have a range from -32dB to +8dB. This makes it possible to attenuate certain
frequencies almost completely.
Besides the equalisers, two filter-banks are included. Some very spectacular effects can be
created with these filters. The two filters can be linked to make some very astonishing mixes!
Furthermore the XTC II is equipped with a digital routing circuitry. This digital router makes it
possible to connect an effect processor in a very flexible way.
The dual headphones connector has a split-function to listen to the mix and the CUE signal
simultaneously.
The master outputs are on cinch and on balanced XLR connectors.
Optional 19-inch brackets are available to make it possible to mount the XTC II into a 19-inch rack.
Contact your dealer to obtain the brackets.

EN DATEQ XTC II manual Connecting 5
Connecting the XTC II
All connections can be made at the rear and the front of the XTC II. Below we will explain
the function of the connectors.
Connecting
Master left/ right The electronically balanced XLR outputs guarantee a perfect audio quality, even with long cable
runs. The same signal is available at the unbalanced cinch connectors.
Monitor output The electronically balanced XLR outputs guarantee a perfect audio quality, even with long cable
runs. The same signal is available at the unbalanced cinch connectors.
This output can be used to connect a monitor amplifier. This output has the same mix as the
master outputs, but it has it's own volume control.
Internal jumper settings make it possible to eliminate the microphone signal from the monitor
outputs. This prevents an acoustical feedback.
Record output A recorder, for example a computer, can be connected to this output. The record output has the
same signal as the master outputs, without a volume control.
Sub output A extra amplifier for Bass-speakers can be connected to this output. The record output has the
same signal as the master outputs.
FX Effect insert
send
Connection to input external effect-device. When on a channel FX is chosen it pre-fader signal
is available here.
FX Effect insert
return
Connection from output external effect-device. When on a channel FX is chosen the connected
return signal will be available on its fader.
Line/ line 1/ line 2 Connection for audio sources at line-level, like CD-players, computers, MD-players, DVD-
players etc.
Phono Connection for turn-tables. The turntable can be earthed with the earth connectors at the rear.
Microphone Input for a dynamical microphone.
Gain Microphone pre-gain setting.
Phones Output for headphones.

Operation
Microphone channel
Besides the four fader channels the XTC II is equipped with a extra microphone
channel. This DJ channel uses a volume potmeter (LVL) instead of a fader.
The microphone input comes with a (low-voltage) phantome supply, controlled by a
internal jumpersetting.
To prevent from an acoustical feedback it is possible to filter out the microphones
signal (Cleanfeed) from the monitor speakers. This controlled by internal
jumpersettings.
Both a microphone and a line-source can be connected to the back as well as the
front and selected with the input source selector (top button).
This channel has a 3-way tone control. All the equalisers have a +/- 15dB range.
The overload detector (OVL) for input and pre-fader is situated on the front-panel.
Pre-fade listening is controlled by the CUE-switch.
Fader channels
The XTC II has four identical fader channels. The first three can be connected to a
stereo line source, and a turntable. The fourth channel can be connected to two
stereo line sources. The source can be selected with the input-source selectors (top
switch) The three phono-level channels can be changed to line-level by internal
jumper settings.
The three-way tone control ranges from -32dB ... +8dB. This means that certain
frequencies will be almost completely suppressed when the equaliser is set to a
minimum.
With the FX effect button it is possible to route a channel very quickly to the
connected effect device. Pushing the effect button sends the pre-fader signal to the
effect unit. The processed signal (so with the effect) becomes available at the
channels fader and can be added to the mix.
If the effect return signal is NOT present the XTC II 's own send signal is being used
instead, shown by a blinking FX indicator.
Pre-fade listening is controlled by the CUE-switch. This will feed the channel pre-
fade or effect return signal depending on the FX button
Just above the fader there are indicators for cross fader routing and source signal
presence.
Note: for all jumper settings see the Setup chapter.

Master section
The XTC II master section holds a 2x30 segmented VU-meter showing
the master mix or cue level accurately.
The master volume control can adjust the master-mix volume. The
balance adjusts the master left-right balance.
The monitor control adjusts the volume of the monitor speakers. This is
completely independent of the master volume and balance settings.
The Phones control adjusts the volume for the headphones. The SPLIT
button controls the split button, its status shown by the front indicator.
Split ON means that the left channel holds the mono Cue signal and the
right channel the mono Master signal, audible on the headphones as
well as visible on the VU-meter.
Split OFF means that both the left and right channel hold the Cue signal,
audible on the headphones as well as visible on the VU-meter.
The headphone signal is available on the top as well as the front
connector.
Cross fader
The Cross(X) fader function can be routed to any fader channel and can
be disabled by means of the Setup-Xfader button.
Channel 2 and 3 can be routed to the left (A) side and channel 4 and 5
can be routed to the right (B) side of the cross fader. (see the Setup chapter).
The X-fader has a fully adjustable curve, with which the operational range can be trimmed from
super short (5mm) to full fader-lenght and everything in between, controlled by the red CURVE
trimpot.
