The Allen & Heath XB2-14 Broadcast Mixer is a professional broadcast audio console designed specifically for radio stations, internet broadcasters, podcast studios, educational institutions, community broadcasting facilities, and professional production environments. Built upon Allen & Heath’s renowned audio engineering expertise, the XB2-14 combines exceptional sound quality, reliable operation, and purpose-built broadcast functionality into a compact and highly capable mixing platform.

Designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern broadcasting, the Allen & Heath XB2-14 Broadcast Mixer provides a flexible configuration featuring four microphone channels, two dedicated telephone (Telco) channels, and four stereo input channels. This versatile architecture allows broadcasters to manage multiple audio sources simultaneously while maintaining superior audio clarity and precise control over every broadcast element.

One of the standout advantages of the Allen & Heath XB2-14 Broadcast Mixer is its dedicated broadcast-focused workflow. Unlike traditional live sound mixers, the XB2-14 is engineered specifically for on-air applications. Every control, routing option, and feature has been optimized to support radio presenters, podcasters, interview hosts, and production teams who require fast, intuitive operation during live broadcasts.

The mixer features four professional microphone inputs with high-quality preamps that deliver clean, detailed, and low-noise audio performance. Whether broadcasting voice content, interviews, discussions, news programs, or talk shows, the Allen & Heath XB2-14 Broadcast Mixer ensures excellent speech intelligibility and professional-grade audio reproduction.

The inclusion of two dedicated Telco channels makes the Allen & Heath XB2-14 Broadcast Mixer particularly valuable for radio stations and live talk programs. Telephone callers can be integrated seamlessly into broadcasts, enabling audience interaction, remote interviews, and call-in shows. This functionality streamlines production workflows and enhances audience engagement without requiring complex external routing solutions.

In addition to microphone and telephone connectivity, the Allen & Heath XB2-14 Broadcast Mixer offers four stereo input channels suitable for music playback systems, computers, media players, streaming devices, automation systems, and external audio sources. This flexibility enables broadcasters to manage music, advertisements, jingles, sound effects, and prerecorded content from a single console.

A major feature of the Allen & Heath XB2-14 Broadcast Mixer is its integrated start/stop functionality. This capability allows compatible playback systems and automation software to be controlled directly from the mixer, simplifying studio operations and improving workflow efficiency. Broadcasters can trigger audio playback with confidence while reducing the need for manual intervention.

The Allen & Heath XB2-14 Broadcast Mixer also incorporates dedicated monitor and studio output sections that provide comprehensive control over listening environments. Presenters and producers can independently manage studio monitors, headphone outputs, and control room monitoring systems to ensure optimal audio monitoring during live broadcasts and recording sessions.

Premium analog circuitry ensures low distortion, excellent dynamic range, and consistent audio performance across all channels. The result is a polished, professional broadcast sound that meets the expectations of modern radio audiences and digital content consumers.

Constructed using professional-grade components and a robust chassis design, the mixer is engineered for continuous daily operation in demanding studio settings. Its dependable performance minimizes downtime and supports uninterrupted broadcasting.

The intuitive control layout allows operators to manage complex broadcasts efficiently.
