KLANG gives IEM mixes a boost

Significantly increasing its input channel count from 24 to 64 channels for all 12 binaural mixes, the :vokal+ software upgrade for KLANG:technologies’ :vokal immersive in-ear monitor (IEM) mixing setup forms part of KLANG’s updated KOS 5.6 operating system. It brings the same root-intensity EQs found in KLANG’s :vokal system to DiGiCo console worksurfaces via the DMI-KLANG card and is the result of a redesign and optimisation of the FPGA immersive audio core. The company says the launch of KOS 5.6 and the :vokal+ software upgrade delivers the same input channel count on both systems with the original mix count of each product.

With the increased channel count on :vokal+, KOS 5.6 also introduces Group Spill on its :kontroller to provide users with easy access to all channels in a group through :kontroller’s channel banks. To make this easier for the user, KOS 5.6 also introduces several Quick Setup Wizards, such as the Setup and IP Wizards. Housed in a compact 1U chassis, the KLANG:vokal (and :vokal+) allows up to 12 musicians to pick up to 24 mono or stereo channels out of 64 Dante and MADI inputs. Based on KLANG’s ultra-low latency FPGA core, KLANG:vokal offers 12 mixes of 24 mono or stereo inputs at 48kHz and 96kHz.

KLANG KOS 5.6 is available as a free update for all KLANG immersive processors from the company’s website.
