6 CONFIGURATION OF MAIN SYSTEM
•
KLANG:app 2 can tweak all settings. The touch display on KLANG:fabrik is for status feedback only (slow response). Enter
Admin mode (press and hold CONFIG button) to tweak the settings. Navigate to CONFIG menu.
AUDIO ROUTING
The audio routing of the KLANG:fabrik / KLANG:vier. Click on
ROUTING
tab. This routing screen uses blocks.
Each block contains 8 consecutive channels
of audio. The audio
source
is shown on the
left
. The audio
sink
is
shown in the
top
line. The white square with an arrow in it, shows that a particular source is connected to a sink.
KLANG:fabrik routing options:
•
Optical 1–4 sources are coming from the optical input connectors of KLANG:fabrik. Each has
8 channels
of audio in
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sampling rate with 24 bits precision.
•
Dante 1–4 sources are in total 32 audio channels. Dante 1 contains channel 1–8, Dante 2 channel 9–16, etc.
•
Firstly, we connect
incoming audio streams
inside KLANG:fabrik to the audio processor called
DSP
(top line).
DSP1 represents input channels 1-8 e.g. as seen in the remote software KLANG:app .
DSP2 represents channels 9-16 and so on. In the normal configuration KLANG:fabrik uses 16 input channels
(hence, DSP1 and DSP2) only.
•
In order to route the channels 1-8 of Dante to the channels 1-8 of the
3D in ear monitoring system
we push
the arrow to appear in the cell 9 from left to right and the cell 5 from top to bottom. Dante channels 9-16, hence Dante
2 to DSP2 for the input channels 9-16.
•
The
users’ 3D audio mixes
can then be routed to different sinks. Here we choose users 1-4 to appear on
the analog outputs called users 1-4 be routing DSP1 (left legend) to DA1 (Digital to analog conversion)(top legend).
Additionally the outputs for the users 1-4 are mirrored to the optical out 1 (Opt 1, top legend) and Dante output
channels 1-8 of the Dante module (Dan 1, top legend).
•
This setup could be used e.g. to stream 16 channels of audio recordings with the Dante Virtual Soundcard to
KLANG:fabrik.
•
Let’s assume we want to change the routing to connect different audio channels, e.g. an analog to digital
converter to route live channels e.g. 8 channels of drums. Click on the cell Optical 1 (left) and DSP1 (top).
•
To disconnect a sink from a source, just click on the name of the sink in the top legend. This means no audio
is routed to this sink.
•
KLANG:vier routing options:
•
Routing in KLANG:vier is simpler with less options. The input to the DSP can be chosen from optical and Dante. Also mixed
configurations (Matching sample rates and sync required) are possible. The outputs of the DSP‘s 3D in-ear engine User 1–4
are in a fixed connection with Headphone outs 1–4 and the analog line level outputs of the SUB-D break-out. The outputs
of all 5 users are also available on Dante.
