A Latching Layers system lets you assign controls to multiple layers, so a single physical control can be given up to 3 functions.

As a quick visual reminder, when toggling through layers all switches assigned to a particular layer will illuminate in the appropriate colour

CONSTRUCTION
Its slim line 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

X:LINK
Two or more K2s can be linked via our X:LINK protocol, expanding the control capability. X:LINK uses a standard RJ45 connector and distributes power and data, allowing connection to X:LINK compatible devices, including Xone:DB4 and DB2, to expand MIDI data without using additional USB ports
