The XONE K2 is a slimline MIDI controller with an internal 4 channel soundcard suitable for use with most DJ software. Installation is simple and mapping to your desired package can be as complex as you want to make it. With many MIDI layers per button and 3 different colours for easy recognition, customizations can be made to improve the way YOU play.
The soundcard has ultimate flexibility so you can use the K2 with just a pair of headphones, headphones and a mix system or just a separate mixer. USB ports on the unit mean you can link multiple XONE-K2 controllers via daisy chain rather than take up the ports on your computer.
All units come shipped with a padded case which can be used as a stand that heightens the controller to the level of most DJ mixers.
Further info on the Allen & Heath XONE:K2 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.
