1 WELCOME TO THE KLANG:FAMILY !
We would like to thank you for choosing KLANG:fabrik / KLANG:vier. We are convinced that you will have the same positive
sound experience we have by using the KLANG system in your professional daily work – live on stage, in the studio, in the
rehearsal room.
! PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND ENTIRELY. INPROPER USE MIGHT RESULT IN SERIOUS RISKS, DAMAGES OR
PROBLEMS IN COMBINATION WITH ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT.
This manual guide is designed to assist you in setting up your KLANG:fabrik / KLANG:vier as a professional headphone mo-
nitoring system.
If you experience any problems in setting up the system please contact us at support@KLANG.com
! PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE:
• KLANG:fabrik or KLANG:vier.
• Mixing Desk – Dante enabled or compatible with ADAT, or Analog to Dante/ADAT converters or Computer (Windows or
Mac OS X) with a multi track playback software including Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS)
• WiFi Router or network access.
• 2 network cables with RJ45 connectors (no Neutrik EtherCon cables required) – one for Dante running to the computer,
one for Control going to the WiFi router.
• KLANG:fabrik only: Headphone amplifier, e.g. KLANG:quelle and cables with female XLR connecting KLANG:fabrik to
your headphone amp or direct connecting cables for high impedance headphones to the KLANG:fabrik or wireless audio
transmitters.
• Pair of headphones.
Smartphone or Tablet running KLANG:app 2 (can be used to demonstrate orientation tracking, if no KLANG:vektor is
present). A computer can also work as a remote control interface. KLANG:app 2 is available for free at www.KLANG.com
! MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRMWARE REVISION NUMBER IS COMPATIBLE WITH THIS DOCUMENTATION.

2 INTEGRATING KLANG:fabrik / KLANG:vier INTO EXISTING SETUP
The KLANG:fabrik / KLANG:vier can be connected directly to an FOH mixing desk or a monitor desk as well as studio mixing
consoles. The 3D In-Ear Monitoring system is commonly inserted into an existing setup between mixing desk and headphone amp or wireless in-ear transmitters.
With Dante and optical audio compatible with ADAT most digital mixing desks can be connected directly. For mixing consoles with MADI several converters to Dante and ADAT are available. For consoles using only AVB an ADAT and AVB to MADI
converter can be used. For all other mixing consoles analog outputs can be connected to an Analog to Dante or Analog to
ADAT converter.

3 CONNECTION OVERVIEW & TECH SPECS
KLANG:fabrik / KLANG:vier
ANALOG INPUTS (Optional | KLANG:fabrik only)
• KLANG Zero-Latency Inputs. 2 balanced XLR (NEUTRIK® connectors) audio line level inputs. Additional analog mixing
to all 16 analog output channels without any AD/DA conversion. (No meter information available). Only stereo mixing for
these inputs. Frequency range 10Hz to 30kHz ±0.1dB.
ANALOG OUTPUTS (KLANG:fabrik)
• Analog line level monitoring outputs. 16 balanced XLR (NEUTRIK® connectors) analog line level outputs with flat
frequency response starting from 5 Hz. Upper roll-o frequency depending on sampling rate. (16Hz-20kHz ±0.1 dB).
Nominal output level +4 dBu, max. +22 dBu. Output impedance 75 Ω.

HEADPHONE OUTS & ANALOG OUTPUTS (KLANG:vier)
• 4 stereo headphone outputs at the front side (suitable for in-ears and standard headphones). Gain switch for highly sensi-
tive in-ears (-12 dB), normal headphones (0 dB), low output headphones (+12 dB)
• Analog line level outputs in SUB-D breakout at the rear side with flat frequency response starting from 5 Hz. Upper roll-
o frequency depending on sampling rate. (16Hz-20kHz ±0.1 dB). Nominal output level +4 dBu, max. +22 dBu.
Output impedance 75 Ω. Output level depending on gain switch at the front. Pin layout is not standard format.
• D-Sub pin out: 01|4L-, 02|GND, 03|4R-, 04|3L-,05|GND, 06|3R-,07|2L-, 08|GND, 09|2R-, 10|1L-, 1|GND,12|1R-, 13|n.c.,
14|4L+, 15|4R+, 16|GND, 17|3L+, 18|3R+, 19|GND, 20|2L+, 21|2R+, 22|GND, 23|1L+, 24|1R+, 25|GND.
DANTE | CONTROL
• 3 (KLANG:fabrik) high class network interfaces with locking NEUTRIK® EhterCon connectors. 3 dierent configurations
(Dante redundant, 3 equal ports, separate control and Dante) can be chosen in Dante Controller software.
• 2 (KLANG:vier) high class network interfaces with locking NEUTRIK® EhterCon connectors. 2 dierent configurations: 2
equal network ports (switch attached control), separate control and Dante ports (switch detached control) can be chosen
in Dante Controller software.
• Dante module with 64 input and 64 output channels (Routing and configuration over Dante Controller software).
Currently the firmware only allows routing of 32 (Channel 1 to Channel 32) input and output channels of the
Dante Stream inside KLANG:fabrik and 24 input channels in KLANG:vier
• KLANG:vier uses a fixed routing scheme. Hence, user output 1–5 are always routed to the Dante module.
WORD CLOCK
• 2 BNC connectors for input and output (KLANG:fabrik) and 1 BNC connector for output (KLANG:vier). Input with swit-
chable termination (75 Ω). Output clock is always connected to internal DSP processing clock. Prefer using professional
clock cabling with word clock output connected to e.g. optional AD converters over clock recovery from optical audio
inputs.
OPTICAL AUDIO
• 4 input and 4 output (KLANG:fabrik) and 3 input (KLANG:vier) optical audio compatible with ADAT. Each optical audio in-
terface can handle 8 channels at 44.1 / 48 kHz with 24 bit precision. Optical audio connectors are non-locking.
