Style with Strength
Its slimline
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 im pact damage.
Case / Stand
X
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
T
Two K2s can be linked via Allen & Heath’s X:LINK protocol,
giving twice as m uch 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.
