What an incredible week at InfoComm! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, tested out our hardware, asked questions, and shared ideas with us. We always enjoy connecting with the AV community!

Here's a quick recap of what we showed:

✨ Custom Control Surfaces ✨
Build the controller you need using our XBE Series controls. Choose your layout with keys, T-bars, jog & shuttles, motorized faders, joysticks, QWERTY modules, and more. If you're interested in a custom controller, contact us—we'd love to discuss your project!

✨ New XBE Controls ✨
We showed off our new XBE-4 Motorized Faders, XBE Joystick, and XBE QWERTY module. The motorized faders are available for purchase now on our website, with the joystick and QWERTY coming soon. (All are available for custom control surface projects)

✨ XKE-40 RGB ✨
The XKE-40 now features full RGB backlighting with individual key color and brightness control! It's also available in rack-mount and Upper Tier desktop versions.

✨ Central Control ✨
We had Central Control powering our live demos at InfoComm. Our hardware integrates directly with , and our Production Controller combines a built-in single-board computer with Central Control preinstalled for a complete all-in-one show control solution. An exciting partnership with more X-keys/Central Control products in the works 👀

✨ Prototype Preview: XK Image ✨
We also gave attendees a first look at the XK Image—our next-generation controller combining a touchscreen with tactile mechanical buttons and Central Control software running it. If you'd like to be among the first to hear updates, send us a message and we'll add you to our interest list and keep you informed as development progresses!

Thanks again to everyone who stopped by—we loved showing you what we've been working on, and we can't wait to share what's next!

X-keys spotted in the Stranger Things audio mixing set-up 👀

A behind-the-scenes look at Glen Glenn Film Sounds in Hollywood shows that even in the middle of a massive mixing set-up, sometimes you just need a few easy buttons - in this case a couple of XBE-24s

Check out the full video on YouTube that takes you more in depth on how the shows iconic sounds were made!
