It’s an automatic IP address in the range 169.254.x.y/16, assigned when no DHCP server is available. Devices can still communicate with each other on the same subnet.

If your KLANG system can’t find a network with a DHCP server (the box that normally hands out IP addresses, e.g. a WiFi router), it will just give itself a number automatically so everything can still talk to each other. These self-assigned numbers always start with 169.254… and are called link-local addresses (sometimes also called “zeroconf”). It’s nothing to worry about — your devices will still connect and work together. For bigger setups, engineers might introduce a DHCP server or may switch to fixed IPs, but for a quick jam or smaller shows, link-local works fine out of the box.

Depending on your input channel requirements and the number of mixes required, more than one KLANG device can be connected to the same control network. Input channels arriving on KLANG:fabrik e.g. via MADI, can be routed to other KLANG:fabrik’s and KLANG:vier (48kHz only). Dante input channels can be routed to as many receiving devices as needed. Depending on the network load Dante Multicast flows have to be used and managed switches with proper IGMP snooping and QoS configuration should be used.

Most KLANG immersive processors can be configured to work in a cascade of units.

There is no limit other than your network limitiation as to how many KLANG:fabrik and KLANG:vier can be added to your network. KLANG:app will show each KLANG device available on your network.

Our products are designed and tested to be used with at least 1 :app or :kontroller per mix, plus 2 :apps for engineers. In most cases is is possible to use even more apps, there is no fixed limit.

To back up all internal settings, presets, and log files from every KLANG device and connected KLANG:app instance:

1. Open KLANG:app

2. Go to CONFIG > INFO > Collect All Logs

3. Wait until the button turns green

4. Click Save Logs as ZIP

5. Send the ZIP file to KLANG support if needed

This creates a full backup and troubleshooting package for your entire system.

Yes. KLANG:app has a built in offline editor. Follow this link for more details.

It is now possible to enter a KOS Login Password. Users need to know this password to connect to the processor in Show or Admin mode. Follow this link for more details.

Yes, channels can be hidden in KLANG:app running musician or personal mode and on kontrollers and therefore be protected from changes. Follow this link for more details.

The first two KLANG processors, namely :fabrik and :vier used the same hardware platform. These are the first generation (1st gen) KLANG processors and they both use the same KOS update files.

All processors developed after – :vokal, :vokal+, :konductor, DMI-KLANG – use a different hardware platform and are therefore called second generation (2nd gen) KLANG processors. The KLANG:kontroller is based on the same platform and uses the exact same KOS update files. The KOS firmware files for the 2nd generation processors are the same.

KLANG:quelle XDM uses a completely different firmware and hence update files.

KLANG:app has a built-in update system for Over-the-Air updates. It automatically downloads the correct firmware files from the internet and installs it on the device.

Both generations are compatible with the same KLANG:app and Show files can be exchanged between 1st and 2nd generation processors as well.

It supports all sample rates that are supported by the host (console or Audio DMI card in slot 1 of an Orange Box) and it will follow automatically.
