New from TC Electronic: Konnekt 8 Audio Interface
TC Electronic announces that its audio interface Konnekt 8 is now shipping. The audio interface provides recording and performing musicians with the highest possible sound quality from input to the recording application.
Konnekt 8 features 2 IMPACTTM mic preamps, which are switchable to
dedicated Hi-Z guitar inputs or balanced line inputs, 2 analog
controlled balanced outputs, 2 AUX line in to monitor external devices,
2 coaxial S/PDIF (stereo) I/O, sample accurate MIDI and FireWire
connectivity. The state-of-the art design allows the unit to be used as
a stand-alone mixer with the front panel light ring providing easy
access, instant control and visual feedback of important mix parameters.
Konnekt 8 includes Cubase LE to allow users to start recording right out
of the box. Konnekt 8 retails for EUR 320 ex. VAT.
Konnekt 8 has a number of innovative features that transcend the
conventional way of thinking about audio interfaces. TC NEAR� (Network
Expandable Audio Recording) makes it possible to stack up to four
Konnekts together to obtain a massive amount of I/O. Not only can
multiple devices be connected to the computer, but two musicians each
with a networked Konnekt 8 can direct monitor each other in real time.
Users working with active monitors will appreciate the analog volume
control that ensures an extremely low noise floor. Other monitoring
options include two headphone outputs, one with a speaker muting
function that mutes the speaker automatically when the headphone jack is
plugged in.
The Konnekt 8 audio interface is based on the new DICE II digital
interface chip from TC Applied Technologies. DICE II provides a very
stable clock rate, crucial to digital sound quality and it ensures
digital signal integrity using patent-pending Jitter Elimination
Technology (JET�). Konnekt 8 also includes low latency drivers for Mac.
OS X (including the new Intel-based Macs), Windows XP and all audio
applications that support WDM, ASIO and Core Audio drivers.
