Introduction - TC Electronic Konnekt 24D User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Konnekt 24D / Konnekt 8
Konnekt 24D is a groundbreaking audio interface that integrates TC's world famous effects in a state-of-the-art design. It is
designed for recording and performing musicians who want the highest possible sound quality from input, through built-in
real-time effects, to the recording application.
Two combo inputs on the front panel combine outstanding mic pre-amp quality with true Hi-Z guitar optimized inputs. The
light ring gives you easy access, instant control and visual feedback on important parameters directly from the front panel.
You can stack up to four Konnekts together using TC NEAR™ – Network Expandable Audio Recording – to obtain a
massive amount of I/O and effects channels. If you are working with active monitors, you'll be delighted with the analog
volume control that ensures a wide dynamic range. Dual headphone outputs are convenient when you're two in studio and
one of the headphone outputs comes with an auto speaker muting function. If you don't need all the I/O or the DSP
effects, choose Konnekt 8, which is a non-DSP version of Konnekt 24D with less I/O.
The Fabrik C channel strip and Fabrik R reverb known from TC's PowerCore platform are built into the Konnekt 24D and
they work even when the unit is used in stand-alone mode.
Konnekt 24D also includes Assimilator Konnekt which is an extremely powerful equalization tool that "learns" the
frequency curve of one piece of audio so it can be applied to another audio file - Ideal for analyzing and copying EQ
curves of individual instruments, voices or reference mixes. It truly shines when applied to align the frequency response of
different tracks recorded at different times compiled to appear on the same album.
One manual for both Konnekt 24D and Konnekt 8
This manual covers both Konnekt 24D and Konnekt 8. Konnekt 8 has the exact same high quality as Konnekt 24D but
with less I/O options and no effects processing (Fabrik C, Fabrik R and Assimilator). Features that are omitted in Konnekt
8 are generally marked with "Konnekt 24D only". We urge you to look at the product compare chart on page 5.
The screenshots in the manual derive from Konnekt 24D.
