TC Electronic Konnekt Live User Manual page 11

Both RIAA 1964 and RIAA 1987 formats are supported.
Select between the two RIAA formats via the mixer page.
RIAA filter 1964
The RIAA filter 1964 gently enhances the low-end
frequencies with 6 dB per descending octave. The high
end frequencies are attenuated also with 6 dB per octave.
Around 1 kHz the level is left untouched.
RIAA filter 1987
The RIAA 1987 is a variation of the original 1964 filter.
In this type a soft cut in the low-end frequencies has
been added to reduce rumble and acoustic feedback.
Depending on you specific application you may prefer one
or the other.
RIAA filters are not available at 192 kHz.
3 Pad/Inst selectors
The PAD/INSTRUMENT selector can attenuate the
input sensitivity by 20 dB. If you cannot attenuate the
signal sufficiently using the GAIN/TRIM knob you
should use the -20 dB position. This is typical when
connecting line-level instruments.
Use PAD (out-position) when a turntable is connected via
RIAA converter cables.
4 Input LEDs
Three input level indicators. -30 dB, -10 dB and 0 dB.
First adjust the Gain Trim so the 0 dB LED is only lit

at absolute peaks. Then reduce the Gain Trim slightly
so the 0 dB LED is never lit.
5 Gain/Trim
Use this control to set the appropriate input level.
(see previous paragraph).
6 Phantom Power +48V
The XLR part of the Combo XLR/Jack connections
features +48V phantom power when this switch is
pressed. Phantom power is used to power line-drivers
and condenser microphones.
There are three main types of microphones
Condenser microphone - phantom power required
except for some models that use proprietary power
supplies or built-in batteries. Please check the
microphone's manufacturer specifications for details.
Electrodynamic microphone - phantom power is not
required but does no harm to the microphone.
Ribbon microphones - phantom power could damage
the microphone. Search advice and documentation
from the manufacturer of the microphone!
Only the condenser type requires phantom power.
It is however no problem combining a condenser
microphone in e.g. ch. 1, with a standard
electrodynamic microphones (such as e.g. a Shure
SM57) in ch. 2. Nor is it any problem to activate
phantom power and use a condenser microphone to
one of the inputs and connect a guitar using a 1/4
jack to the other input, as phantom power only
concerns the XLR connections.
7 Line In - ch 1/2 on rear panel
This switch alternates between using the front panel
inputs or rear panel inputs for channels 1/2.
Rear panel inputs are line inputs.
