Xone:K2 is an elegant, compact controller for any DJ software. With no fewer than 52 hardware controls providing up to 171 MIDI commands across 3 layers – plus the ability to link multiple units – Xone:K2 has the power and flexibility to put you in touch with everything from the essential functions to the fine nuances of your chosen software.
Quick and simple mapping lets you create a unique layout that mirrors your style and puts the functions that matter at your fingertips, whilst 3 colour illuminating switches give at-a-glance feedback.
Xone:K2 comes packed in a robust black padded case as standard. The case doubles as a stand, bringing the K2 up to the same height as most pro DJ mixers.
Universal
Xone:K2 is a universal controller and is perfect for use with
all leading DJ software, such as Traktor Pro, Ableton,
Virtual DJ, PCDJ and M ixVibes. Xone:K2 can even be used
to control lights or VJ software – if it can receive MIDI data
it can take commands from K2.
MIDI Control
Xone:K2 has 52 physical controls – including 12 analogue
and 6 endless rotary encoders with push switch, 4 linear
faders, and 30 backlit performance switches - providing up
to 171 MIDI control commands across 3 layers. What each
control does is entirely up to you - with a little thought you
can create a completely customised layout that perfectly
fits the way you want to work. We also provide some
sample maps and information on how to set up your own.
Latching Layers
By assigning controls to multiple layers you can give a single
physical control up to 3 functions. You can configure all,
some or none of K2’s controls to be linked to the latching
layers system. As a quick visual reminder, when toggling
through layers all switches assigned to a particular layer will
illuminate in the appropriate colour.
Audio Interface
Xone:K2 has a high quality internal, four channel (2 stereo)
soundcard.
Style with Strength
Its slimline chassis, soft touch controls and minimal looks
set K2 apart from the pack. There’s plenty of substance
too – Xone:K2 is built to Allen & Heath’s renowned touring
grade audio and build quality standards, including the use of
steel nuts on all rotary controls to protect the circuitry
from impact damage.
Case / Stand
Xone:K2 comes packed in a robust black padded case as
standard. As well as keeping it safe on the road, the case
doubles as a stand, bringing the K2 up to the same height
as most pro DJ mixers.
X:LINK
Two K2s can be linked via Allen & Heath’s X:LINK protocol,
giving twice as much control capability. X:LINK uses a
standard RJ45 connector and distributes power and data,
which means two K2s can be connected to your software
using only one USB port. X:LINK also allows connection to
Xone:DB4 and Xone:DB2 mixers.
