DESCRIPTION

product-dropdown icon to expand accordian

Any DiGiCo SD or Quantum range console can integrate with any KLANG processor for a fully streamlined workflow. It allows to control all KLANG mix parameters from the console and KLANG mix parameters are stored and recall with the powerful DiGiCo snapshot management. Faders on the console can control the KLANG levels and rotaries as well as the KLANG GUI on the console allow to adjust 3D panning, mute, solo and more.

Channel names from the console will automatically be synced to the KLANG processor and musicians can control their mixes with KLANG:app or :kontroller at the same time – working hand in hand with the monitor engineer if required.

It depends. Details can be found here: KLANG DiGiCo Console Link

Is KLANG a Personal Monitoring System or is it a tool for Monitor Engineers?

faq icon to expand accordian

Both.

The KLANG system is designed to be very easy to use especially if you don’t have years of experience in mixing monitors. The 3D in-ear mixing functionality enables musicians to get a very transparent and natural in-ear / headphone mix and a very short time.

At the same time, our products and especially KLANG:app offers all features experienced sound engineers or monitor engineers expect when working with a mixing tool for the live or studio market. Especially features like CUE mixing for musicians is a feature you want to use at mixing monitors constantly.

What do the red or green icons above CONFIG stand for?

Can I remote control the system via MIDI or OSC?

faq icon to expand accordian

Yes, that is possible.

KLANG:app, all KLANG processors and :kontroller exclusively communicate with each other via OpenSoundControl (OSC) messages. Find all details about the OSC messages in the OSC Reference Guide.

KLANG:app can further be controlled via MIDI / MCU.

There are also flexible third party converters from OSC to OSC or MIDI to OSC available, such as OSCulator. In this way, mixing console commands like snapshot recall or fader comnands can be converted. Additionally, tools like touchOSC can be used to design specific graphic interfaces if required.

Testimonials

“It’s very user friendly and takes just a few minutes to get set up. Once it’s patched, I’m basically unaware of it. I have the icon on my computer screen showing where everything is but it doesn’t actually affect the way I mix – it’s just there, set, creating lots of lovely space!”

Becky Pell – Monitor Engineer, The War of the Worlds

“The KLANG 3D In-Ear Monitoring is a great concept and the iPad app is very intuitive and natural way of controlling what just might be the next leap in In-Ear Monitoring.”

Pasi Hara – Monitor Engineer (System Of A Down, SLASH Feat. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators)
