Allen & Heath Unveils Xone:K1

Allen & Heath has unveiled the Xone:K1 as an extension of the MIDI controller range of its elite Xone DJ line, joining the Xone:K2 controller.

The K1 allows users to define and customise an individual workflow and mixing experience, and works with all leading DJ software. The Xone:K1 is configurable to allow access for setting levels, triggering hot cues, adding effects and instant looping.
Featuring six endless rotary encoders with push switch, 12 analogue pots, four linear faders and 30 backlit performance switches with three-colour illumination, the Xone:K1 allows comprehensive mapping to leading DJ and production software, such as Traktor Pro, Ableton, Virtual DJ and MixVibes, offering a total of 52 assignable hardware controls, more than any controller of its type.



Xone:K1 can be mixed 'n matched with other Xone:K series controllers and daisy-chained using Allen & Heath's proprietary X:LINK protocol without the need to carry a separate USB hub. X:LINK also enables DJs to expand their set-up by connecting directly to Allen & Heath's Xone 23C, DB2 and DB4 mixers.
"Xone:K1 is a valuable and key addition to the Xone family, providing vast control of popular software programs, slotting into multiple DJ hardware set ups across the range with simple plug 'n play connection, and constructed to withstand life with the travelling DJ," comments Xone product specialist, Greg Ibbotson.
It will be available from August 2014 and is set to retail at £159.
