Do I need a KLANG processor or can a :kontroller be used stand-alone?

In order to create an immersive mix you always need a KLANG processor. KLANG:kontroller can control a mix on that processor and will connect to it via Dante.

How many KLANG devices can be connected?

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.

The CONFIG menu on :kontroller can be deactivated / locked to prevent accidental changes of critical :kontroller settings. This setting can be changed via KLANG:app (Admin mode) > login to :kontroller > CONFIG > INFO > Set Menu > Config Menu

A long button press (>3sec) on AMB/AUX activates CONFIG menu access if one of the following criteria is met:

  • AMB/AUX menu is currently shown
  • Within the first 10sec after :kontroller is booted
  • :kontroller is currently not connected to any mix
