T.C. Electronic's digital, analog, and effects mastery puts it all together for you in a compact desktop FireWire interface.
Anyone familiar with the T.C. Electronics' Konnekt line of interfaces knows they offer high-quality recording features. This addition to the family, the Desktop Konnect 6, continues that trend but is in a smaller footprint size FireWire audio interface allowing you to focus more on your performance than worrying about messing with complicated technology. It gives you all the features you'll need, like an advanced Monitor control, IMPACT mic pre with excellent I/O options, and the top-notch M40 Studio Reverb to instantly record instruments and vocals into your Mac or PC.
Monitor Control
The volume control on the Konnekt 6 Interface is the knob that you'll use all the time. Therefore, it is great that it sits right where you want it: always within reach. With a volume control independent from the computer - between the computer and the active speakers - you can always turn down the volume, no matter what your computer does.
High resolution meter
The high resolution gives you precise information about levels. With clear level indication, you can always monitor the level of the input signal and know if you're near clipping. You can also choose to use the meter for mastering purposes.
Reverb for tracking
For monitoring convenience, the reverb is available as part of your monitor mix. You can control the reverb level directly from the top panel of Desktop Konnekt 6,and you can set reverb parameters using the control panel on the computer.
Direct monitor mix
Use the direct monitor knob to control the direct monitor level directly from the top panel of Desktop Konnekt 6. Together with the DIM switch and the MONO switch you have all the monitor functions you need at hand.
Scenes
With Scene select you can easily access three independent scenes or "setups". The three default presets are for Microphone and guitar, two guitars/basses, and stereo line signal.
Control panel
The control panel gives you full control over your monitor mix, including the M40 Studio Reverb.
IMPACT and I/O
When it comes to quality of the I/O section, Desktop Konnekt 6 has no compromises and matches its big brothers in the Konnekt range.
IMPACT mic pre
T.C. Electronics is renowned for its mic preamps, notably ranking among the finest mic preamps on the market. Desktop Konnekt 6 comes with a high-caliber IMPACT preamp which makes recording a vocal or instrument pure joy.
Hi-Z guitar/line inputs
Equipped with the same instrument inputs used in T.C.'s high-end guitar processors, Desktop Konnekt 6 offers studio-quality guitar recordings. These two high-impedance inputs will surely match the quality of your guitar, maintaining the tone and sound on the recording.
Headphones
The headphone output has its own powerful amplifier and a separate converter, which makes you able to assign separate mix signal independent from what you hear in your monitor speakers.
Balanced outputs
The two balanced outputs match any powered or non-powered speaker monitors.
M40 Studio Reverb
Built-in to this unit is the M40 Studio Reverb, a simple to use, great sounding reverb that is powered by AlgoFlex - a new high definition T.C. technology that enables hardware quality and predictability to be ported to native software.
Hall, Room, and Plate
M40 Studio Reverb features three main reverb algorithms. The Hall algorithm emulates a large hall with a broad and warm reverb. Room emulates a small and well-furnished room with an intimate ambience. Going back in time, the Plate reverb algorithm emulates the large metallic plates which were used to create reverbs before digital signal processing was commonplace.
Part of monitor signal path
It is available for tracking to increase the recording comfort without tying the effect to the final take, operated by the control panel and the reverb knob on the top panel of Desktop Konnekt 6.
VST and Audio Units
Beside being part of the monitor mix, the M40 Studio Reverb is also available as a natively running VST/AU plug-in, allowing you to use Konnekt 6 as part of your recording session in your PC or Mac.

Amazing clear and full tone for mics and guitars. You'll need a 9-pin to 6-pin firewire cable for new imacs. Great interface for Propellerhead Record. Great sound at 96 KHz. the reverb sounds beautiful but it can't be used in Record because Record does not accept VST plugins. But Record has some great reverbs too.

I bought this for a way to record tracks in Logic studio with my Keyboard with the audio format instead of only MIDI.
Really livens up my piano samples from my Nord, If I lost it I would buy another to replace it.

Need a reliable, high quality way of getting a stereo, instrument or mic signal into your computer? This is the best that you can do for the money. Now, to be fair, what you don't get is a lot of inputs or midi. All the units I've used in this range that did have those things had driver issues, though (including the other TC products). The Konnect6 is solid, though. Install the software, plug it in and go. That's it. Nothing fancy. And it sounds beautiful. Very, very clean. The added bonus is the reverb. I don't use it for monitoring (though you can), but I do love the VST plug-in that comes with this unit. It's a very unobtrusive, soft and natural sounding reverb, as TC is known for. Believe it or not, they're right about the big knob -- it is useful. In fact, the controls in general are useful, contrary to most other units. The box itself looks nice, but feels a little light... so don't drop it from a second story window and you'll be fine. Really a great unit.

As a first time recorder....

...This product is amazing. I've been playing guitar for a few years now, but never had the motivation to write my own music until I could record it easily, on my own. This gives you a practically studio quality, matched (and bundled) with a powerful audio workstation that has far more features than I need or know how to use.
I use a sennheiser e835 mic with the Impact preamp on the konnekt 6, and (from an amateur musician's standpoint) it's all I need. The guitar inputs work great on my acoustic and electric guitar.
My only complaint at the moment is that it does not have 3 channels (which it is fully capable of doing so).
