Klang:technologies announces the launch of its new Klang:1 and Klang:1pro ultra-compact professional immersive in-ear monitor mixing. These pocket-sized units are the smallest Klang processors ever created, providing a single immersive mix from 64 input channels and an affordable entry point into immersive monitoring.
“Our new Klang:1 and Klang:1pro bring immersive in-ear mixing down to a totally new size and cost category, opening the Klang world to considerably more engineers and artists by lowering the entry price barrier,” says Klang CEO Dr. Roman Scharrer. “Despite their highly-portable design and amazing value, they are every bit a pro-grade product that delivers the full Klang mixing experience with the same low latency and breathtaking immersive clarity.”
Measuring 1.2" H x 4.25" W x 4.85" D (30 x 108 x 123 mm) and weighing 0.77 pounds (0.35 kg), the new Klang devices offer plug-and-play operation for comprehensive control and monitoring via phone, tablet, or PC, as well as native worksurface integration with Digico Quantum and SD-Range consoles . Featuring the same 0.25ms latency and powered by the same FPGA family as the company’s flagship Klang:konductor, Klang:1 and Klang:1pro are powered and configured via USB-C connections, with no additional power supply needed.
“Designed with real-world workflows in mind, Klang:1 and Klang:1pro make it easy to bring immersive in-ear monitoring into any production,” the announcement states. “Engineers can deploy immersive mixing exactly where it delivers the most impact, starting with individual musicians and expanding as needed, without changing tools or workflows. This approach allows productions of any size to integrate Klang seamlessly, whether for a single artist or an entire band.”
The two models are nearly identical, with one distinction: Klang:1 features dual MADI I/O, while Klang:1pro adds a second MADI input to enable full 64-channel MADI I/O at 96 kHz, plus redundant 64×64 Dante with single-channel routing, offering a more affordable Dante and MADI converter in its class.
Available for preorder through Sweetwater, Klang:1 features a US list price of $995, with KLANG:1pro available for $1,645. For full details, please visit Klang.com.
