Radial Key-Largo Keyboard Mixer with Balanced DI Outs

Key-Largo

The Key-Largo is a keyboard mixer with the performance attributes of a real-time footswitch controller! Designed for stage use, the compact design features three sets of ¼” analog inputs for standard keyboards, along with a USB interface to connect a laptop when using a soft-synth. Each stereo input is equipped with a level control and an effects loop to activate an echo or reverb when soloing. A built-in momentary sustain footswitch lets you connect the Key-Largo to your master keyboard, eliminating the need to bring a separate sustain footswitch to the gig! Outputs are provided over ¼” connectors for powered speakers on stage, as well as transformer-isolated XLR outputs to feed the PA. With both USB and MIDI connectivity, the Key-Largo easily integrates with all types of keyboard setups. High-quality 24bit/192kHz converters allow playback of the best sample libraries and soft-synths, and also provide the ability to record over USB with excellent audio quality. This means the Key-Largo can also be used as a robust recording interface, ideal for recording tracks when on the road or capturing your live performance.
