Allen and Heath Chroma Caps
Hey all!!
As we all know by now the new Chroma Caps have finally hit! The new encoders and 90o rotated super knobs look great! As many of us I’m sure are excited for, is outfitting our K2’s!
My question is, will the K2 still fit in its supplied case with the super knobs on it? or no?
TIA!
Have I missed the announcement for the new Chroma Caps??
There are encoder caps now, nothing else new.
I was intrigued by the 90 degree comment more than anything as im waiting for an option to fit on my DJM.
super knobs are a little taller than normal, take this into account
Wrong. There are also new super knobs where the inner stem is turned 90 degrees so the work on Allen and Heath & Pioneer gear now. That way homies like kooper can use them on his DJM.
and on our trusty 600 
600..? what? haha
Djm600!
Oh. Duh. >.<
do the encoders fit on a@h gear as when you go into the store an select the k2 the encoders aren’t listed as available ?
They’re too wide and hit the next knob over.
The 90 degree knobs available in the store have been around for a while. The encoders are the new release.
So would they fit the Allen & Heath XONE:4D ?
i think it will be a very tight squeeze if it does! The knobs already push against the foam of the lid when closed… Depends how much taller they are I guess.
Are they really that much wider?? Looking at pics of the encoder knobs and the 90 degree knobs and yes, they are slightly wider, but it seems like there would be more than enough of a gap in between them… Really would like to do the encoders and knobs in matching colours!!
Edit: Dammit they only do the 90 degree super knows in 3 different colours… wanted a different color for each channel 
Just ordered a load of 90 degree knobs… Will let you know if it fits in the case with them on after they arrive!
Thanks homie!
Chroma Caps have just arrived, and I can confirm that they fit ok in the case!! (Apologies for blurry pics, taken on my Nexus 4…)
They do sit quite high on the stems, and the encoder ones sit even higher, but they end up all being about the same height.
Case closed. Slight bulge at top end of case where knobs are, but as you’ll see from the second pic the knobs push into the foam, but not enough to depress the encoders down when closed.
They also fit on some of the knobs on my MC6000!! Although some of the knobs are rotated 90 degrees. As these are 90 degree knobs, I hope the normal knobs will fit on the other ones!! Anyone know which way the 90 degree knobs are rotated from the normal ones?? (Both the gain and the HI EQ stems that don’t have chroma caps on in this pic are at - infinity)
Encoder knob fits on the central encoder as well, but covers up the blue light ring surrounding it.
