KLANG has announced the launch of the KLANG:quelle XDM, a 1RU XLR breakout box that delivers 32-bit digital-to-analogue audio conversions from Dante or MADI inputs for professional setups. Designed to expand and enhance audio systems with what the brand calls unparalleled flexibility, the :quelle XDM delivers 16 channels of output with user-configurable options for analogue XLR or digital AES3 formats—all in a compact, rack-mountable unit.
Whether as an addition to a KLANG immersive processor or as a standalone tool in any pro-audio environment, the :quelle XDM reportedly offers effortless integration and unmatched adaptability.
At its core, the :quelle XDM bridges digital and analogue worlds with precision.
The unit features two Neutrik etherCON halo network ports for Dante connectivity, with built-in LED rings indicating network activity. The first port also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for streamlined setup. A high-resolution display and intuitive rotary control knob make it easy to configure settings like audio routing and XLR output type directly from the front panel.
Sixteen Neutrik XLR outputs allow for dynamic routing. Stereo pairs can be configured to deliver either two mono analogue line-level signals or a stereo digital AES3 signal through the same XLR connector. A blue halo light on the first XLR output of each pair provides an instant visual indicator of the selected output type.
The brand says the :quelle XDM integrates effortlessly with existing KLANG systems, adding analogue or AES3 mix output capabilities for in-ear transmitters to immersive audio processors. For non-KLANG users, it reportedly serves as a powerful, brand-agnostic breakout box, enabling full control over inputs and outputs in any MADI or Dante-based audio setup.
"Our vision is to combine simplicity with cutting-edge technology,” explained
CTO, Benedikt Krechel said, “KLANG:quelle XDM embodies this vision, offering unparalleled flexibility and seamless integration into any Dante or MADI-based audio setup. It works elegantly when operating as a standalone unit, or while expanding an existing KLANG immersive mixing system."
Visitors to ISE 2025 can experience the KLANG:quelle XDM at Booth #7F300. Shipping is scheduled to begin in Q2 2025.
