Full Description

Flexible Audio Interface

Experience every facet of your sound, whether you're playing virtual instruments or recording audio. If you're already a user of Maschine or Komplete Instruments and Effects, you're armed with an array of sounds in the highest possible audio fidelity. Komplete Audio 6 provides you with the hardware to match. With included software such as Komplete Elements, Traktor LE 2 and Cubase LE 6, you're ready to produce complete tracks and songs in any style, right from the word go. Designed to be flexible, Komplete Audio 6 has plenty of options for connecting mics, guitars, MIDI instruments or outboard gear. With 4 balanced analog inputs and 4 balanced analog outputs to match, plus MIDI and digital stereo I/Os, Komplete never sounded so good.

Exceptional Audio Quality & Performance

Taking the award-winning sound quality of the Audio Kontrol 1 to a new level, Komplete Audio 6 boasts a streamlined circuit design, hand-picked components and a distinct analog volume knob on top of the unit. Completely USB-powered, Komplete Audio 6 also has a headphone output with independent level control and source switch. New chips, new audio drivers and new circuitry ensure that latency is low, and the direct monitoring option provides 100 percent latency-free monitoring for recording guitars, vocals, or other live sources. 48V phantom power enables you to use condenser mics and active DI boxes, whilst 15 status LEDs provide visual feedback for all signals and indicate clipping.
