Behringer has shared the first photo of a proper Klark Teknik Anima prototype, and it's even closer to an XDJ-AZ than we thought. Four channels, a tilted screen, big jog wheels with screens in them, two separate effects engines and extensive mic channels, all aimed at $400. Here's a control-by-control look at what the photo tells us, what it doesn't, and the one thing our AI mock-up got wrong.
