:konductor

KLANG:konductor is the most powerful and versatile KLANG processor ever created and heralds a new era of Immersive In-Ear Mixing.

DESCRIPTION

product-dropdown icon to expand accordian

With maximum flexibility in mind, KLANG has created the KLANG:konductor, its most powerful and versatile immersive in-ear mixing processor to date, delivering connectivity that is ready for today and tomorrow. Designed with monitor engineers and fixed installations in mind, the high end mixing system delivers 16 immersive mixes and processes 128 input signals at up to 96kHz at an astonishing internal processing latency of less than 0.25ms.

KLANG:konductor is equipped with three DMI slots, which provide unrivaled IO freedom and guarantee flawless integration into any existing setups. Paired with the included single channel routing capabilities, it also allows the user to freely route between the immersive mix engine and convert between different DMI formats, e.g. Optocore, Dante or MADI, with each DMI card offering up to 64 input and output channels at both 48kHz and 96kHz.

Seamless integration into DiGiCo’s control interface and the intuitive KLANG:app give engineers direct control, with KLANG:kontroller allowing musicians to control their own mix. This combination ensures maximum flexibility, with mixes always quickly accessible, along with fast access to system and mix settings.

Offering the same studio grade amplifier circuit as KLANG:quelle, the front mounted headphone port enables the engineers to directly connect their headphones and even low-impedance in-ears and route their console’s cue output to it and seamlessly switch to a KLANG cue via the app.

The device also has a front mounted 7-inch colour touch display to allow for direct mix control, audio setup, routing and monitoring meters. A network port on the front of the unit provides power over ethernet to directly connect a KLANG:kontroller or KLANG:quelle, and dual redundant power supplies offer maximum reliability.

How many KLANG devices can be connected?

faq icon to expand accordian

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 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 limitation 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.

How many :apps can be connected to KLANG immersive processors?

faq icon to expand accordian

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

How do I back up all settings and collect log files from my KLANG system?

faq icon to expand accordian

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.

How do I protect mixes with a password?

faq icon to expand accordian

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.

Can I protect channels from changes?

faq icon to expand accordian

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.

What’s the difference between 1st and 2nd generation KLANG devices?

faq icon to expand accordian

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.

How do I cascade KLANG processors for more mixes?

faq icon to expand accordian

Multiple KLANG immersive processors can be linked in KLANG:app to act as a single unit. This cascade of units will be defined by the unit name followed by an alphabetically sorted index in braces ().

While it is possible to cascade different types of processors, this feature is intended to be used with the same type of processor, e.g. cascade two :vokal devices.

Can I change the panning laws?

faq icon to expand accordian

With KOS 5.4 it became possible to change the stereo panning laws on 2nd Generation KLANG processors.

The panning law used before KOS 5.4 is KLANG1. Along with the auto mapping feature for the DiGiCo console integration, the panning types D1 and D2 are introduced, these are identical to the type 1 and type 2 panning laws on a DiGiCo. By creating a new KLANG show file from scratch (Load default/defaultOff) panning law D1 is used. Mixes created on a DiGiCo with panning law type 1 while therefore sound identical when imported to as a starting point to KLANG.

The STEREOK3 panning laws are pseudo binaural pannings with different head geometries. Use these panning laws when some signals need to remain in Stereo (e.g. because less coloration is required) and still get improved sound transparency.

Set Stereo Panning Law is stored in a KLANG show file and will be recalled when loading a show file. It affects all mixes.

How do I change mixing parameters for many channels or mixes at the same time?

faq icon to expand accordian

You can set values for specific parameters for channels in all mixes. Follow this link for more details.
