Description
Radial Engineering Key-Largo is a unique and powerful device thatcombines a multi-channel keyboard mixer with the performance attributesof real-time footswitch control.
Designed for stage use, the compact design features three dual 1/4″analog inputs for standard performance keyboards along with a USBinterface to connect a laptop for use with software instruments. Eachstereo input is equipped with an individual level control for quickonstage adjustments along with an effects loop to interface an externaleffects processor. The effects loop can then be turned on or off usingthe built-in footswitch to activate, say, an echo or reverb whendesired. The effects bus is stereo but may be summed to mono when usingguitar-style pedals. To add even more fun to the performance, a built-insustain footswitch lets you connect Key-Largo to your master keyboardor digital piano using a standard guitar cable, eliminating the need tobring a separate sustain footswitch to the gig.
As with all Radial products, Key-Largo is built tough and soundsgreat. It features solid 14-gauge steel construction with steel-shaftedpotentiometers and switches to handle the abuse of being on the road.Inside, a switch-mode power supply elevates the rail voltage to 24 voltsfor extra headroom to handle the most dynamic digital keyboards andfattest analog synths without fear of overload or distortion. Separatemonitor outputs allow the artist to adjust the level on stage while theXLR main outputs provide a balanced connection to the PA system. Themain outputs are transformer isolated to eliminate hum and buzz causedby ground loops and all outputs are equipped with ground lift switchesto further abate noise.
With both USB and 5-pin MIDI connectivity, Key-Largo easilyintegrates with all types of keyboard setups. High quality 24-bit/192kHzconverters allow playback of the best sample libraries and softwareinstruments and also provide the ability to record over USB withexcellent audio quality.
