TC KONNECTLIVE Details
- the interface for live performance
To call Konnekt Live an intriguing interface for live performers is merely scratching the surface. Whereas most audio interfaces in the live laptop performance scene are designed for recording purposes TC Electronic’s interface raises the bar and offers clear-cut playback advantages to live laptop performers.
Imagine a master compressor, a Finalizer that puts you in full control of your output. Add to that Konnekt Live’s extensive output routing that enhances the audio passing through via its optimized analog output section. Bundled with Ableton Live software and a suite of built-in DSP effects, you won’t find a more versatile interface for your live performance.
Typically, real-time, high quality output processing puts heavy demands on your CPU. Not so with Konnekt Live. Since all DSP processing takes place inside Konnekt Live, all you have to worry about is being creative – your computer is left with plenty of headroom for other tasks.
Konnekt Live – studio quality output, road-sturdy control and unsurpassed DSP effects for the digital artist.
Studio Quality Sound
At its most basic, the sound quality of Konnekt Live takes your performance to the next level. Whether you run pre-recorded tracks, effects, plug-ins or live inputs through it, Konnekt Live easily outperforms other audio interfaces, compact mixers or budget rack units on the scene. You can think of this interface as a high quality yet compact mixer that integrates perfectly with balanced or unbalanced systems, big PA rigs and active speaker systems alike.
DSP Effects Inside
Konnekt Live houses a suite of advanced effects, including DSP, under its hood that were designed with your toughest performance requirements in mind. The effects quality so far only known from recording studios is now within reach for your live setup.
Fabrik C Live
3-band master compressor built on latest dynamics processing algorithms – the perfect Finalizer for any venue. Its unique MINT (Meta Intuitive Navigation Technology) user interface allows you to respond intuitively to what you hear, taking the bore right out of tweaking tons of parameters and settings.
Fabrik R Live
Choose between 9 classic reverb algorithms for breathtaking effects and vocal reverb on loops, pre-recorded tracks, live vocals, instruments or keyboards.
ResFilter
Lo-cut/hi-cut filter that offers you ultra fat filtering effects. Throw in resonance, 6, 12 and 24 dB slopes for even more stunning sounds. Its inter-communication-bus facilitates controlling and tweaking multiple plug-ins and parameters from one plug-in, cross-fading between two plug-ins etc.
Sturdy design
Its road-ready casing is designed for the rigors of live performing and life on the road. It fits right under your laptop and its heavy rubber frame serves as a solid grip on tilted or slippery surfaces allowing this baby to take a serious amount of gravitational punishment before it gives in to the laws of physics.
Versatility
If you crave that old school touch, stay tuned: Konnekt Live comes with a turntable cable and an onboard RIAA plug-in. The selection of RIAA filters gives you studio quality vinyl ripping to mix in with your own music or mash-ups. Konnekt Live’s MIDI I/O allows you to plug an external MIDI controller right into the loop without a USB MIDI interface. Assign the front panel light ring as a MIDI controller for tweaking optional parameters if you like to loop in a more tangible grip of things.
All features of Konnekt 24D are also true for Konnekt Live.
TC FX Inside
Konnekt 24D comes with professional and innovative high-quality TC effects. Inside the audio interface you’ll find the Fabrik C which is a channel strip par excellence, and Fabrik R which includes four new TC reverb algorithms.
Anybody familiar with TC, knows that our hardware products boast a superior and award winning sound quality. The effects you get with Konnekt 24D are no exception! Once again we are happy to present you with “the sound of TC”. In fact, what you get is the capability and the sound quality of two full-blown 19” rack unit effect processors – built directly into the Konnekt 24D.
In MINT™ condition
The Fabrik C and Fabrik R plug-ins are known from the PowerCore platform. They are both based on MINT™ – Meta Intuitive Navigation Technology – a completely new approach to internal audio processing.
The design and programming philosophy gives you instant gratification and ensures that you won’t waste time tweaking a bunch of parameters – to get professional results, simply move the MINT™ icons. You could say that it lets your ears back into audio production. Because that’s what it’s all about, listening, not tweaking.
On top of that we’re sure you’ll be amazed about the superior processing and sound quality that these MINT™ based effects have to offer. To learn more about MINT™ and Fabrik C and Fabrik R, please go here.
Internal and external integration
One of the great things about the Konnekt 24D is that it comes with effects that are ready to use. You can monitor the effects directly through the Konnekt 24D and you can even do real-time processing while you record.
From the control panel you can even choose to record the dry signal, the processed signal from the Fabrik C or the processed signal from Fabrik R – or even all of them at the same time!
The really cool thing about this is not just that you can record everything at the same time, but also that the effects channels will automatically show in your host application, like e.g Cubase, as individual audio channels.
No pain, all the gain
On top of this, you’ve got to remember that normally when you use so-called internal effects, you’ll most likely put some strain on your computer’s CPU. When you use the effects that are built into the Konnekt 24D, it will have zero, yes zero!, impact on your computer’s DSP. That’s because the effects are processed inside the Konnekt 24D and in effect what you get is two full-blown hardware effects units.
Stand-alone access to the effects
As with any other rack unit effects processor, you want to have easy access to important parameters, directly from the front panel. No problem, the Konnekt 24D sports an ingenious light ring knob that gives you fast and easy access to a selected set of features. What that means is that you can access the effects and more importantly use them, when your computer is turned off. That way you don’t have to deal with the hassle of powering up your entire setup, if you just want a bit of reverb when you’re rehearsing. Turn on the Konnekt 24D, and you’re ready to go.
2 state-of-the-art combo inputs
The Konnekt 24D comes with two state-of-the-art combo inputs that gives you a choice between analog Hi-Z inputs for guitar and bass, and phantom powered microphone inputs. This powerful combo is based on top notch TC audio conversion technology that ensures that you have the very best audio conversion and input route available for your recordings. Each individual variety is described in depth below
The outstanding microphone inputs are integrated with the innovative IMPACT™ preamps. IMPACT™ stands for Integrated Mic PreAmp Circuit Technology, which gives you some of the very best microphone preamps there is.
The IMPACT™ preamps ensure that your recording is crystal clear and free of that unwanted noise that often occurs when a microphone signal goes from the analog to the digital domain. Choose any standard or professional microphone and connect with or without phantom power.
Directly visible on the front panel you have light indicators that give you important information about the level of the incoming signal. Don’t wait until playback to discover that your signal hits the roof but monitor the meters directly from the front panel.
Hi-Z guitar optimized inputs
If you want to retain the sonic quality of your guitar it is required that you use a high impedance input when you plug a passive guitar or bass into an audio interface.
For that reason we’ve designed a dedicated analog circuit for the Hi-Z inputs. It gives you a true high impedance input that secures the original sonic quality and spectrum of the instrument. The benefit for you is that you can plug your guitar directly into the Konnekt 24D without any loss of your instruments intended and original qualities.
TC converters – the legacy continues
At TC Electronic we have a long legacy behind us when it comes to audio conversion technology. Through the years several professional and bench-mark TC products have hit the market like the TC2290, the Finalizer, System 6000 and the AIR System – all them with outstanding A/D and D/A audio converters.
The Konnekt 24D comes with top notch A/D and D/A converters that are perfectly molded to fit the mic preamps. In fact, we’ve made sure that all components and the entire signal path architecture are of excellent quality. That means that you are ensured the highest quality possible, as there are no second grade components to distort the superior TC converter technology…you could say that it’s TC quality through and through.
With the carefully designed anti-aliasing filters that surround the A/D and D/A converters, all signal mirrors, or aliases, are eradicated. That means that only the audio signal that is intended to pass through, actually comes through. The benefit of this is that you will get an absolutely clean recording without any of the unwanted artifacts that can be highly disturbing and annoying.
Specially designed headroom ensures the quality of the recordings by treating very hot signal levels equal to lower signal levels. Often A/D and D/A converters have problems with very hot signal levels, but with the converters used in Konnekt 24D, we’re able to handle hot signals.
The newly TC developed DICE II chip is based on JET™, Jitter Elimination Technology. For a converter to work at its best, it needs a super stable clock, and that is exactly what the JET™ technology gives you. Of course JET™ will take care of business no matter if you use the Konnekt in internal clock mode or as a slaved device.
Last but not least, you need an extremely stable supply of power if you want your recording to be of the very best quality. Converters are very delicate and will respond to any fluctuations in the power supply. For that reason we’ve built in a super stable internal power supply that also provides the phantom power for the mic preamps.
Analog volume control – integration with powered monitor speakers
The analog volume control gives you perfect control of your active speakers. The volume knob on the Konnekt 24D is a pure analog volume control, which is closely integrated with the analog circuit design, and it makes sure that you get the very best listening conditions with virtually no unwanted noise.
In most audio interfaces the volume control is digital and that means that volume control lies before the digital to analog converters. That in turn has an effect on the amount of noise you get on the output, and that amount will always be at a maximum. If you on the other hand can control the volume after the digital to analog converters, you get the very best circumstances for bringing down any device-noise that might be present.
The Konnekt 24D gives you exactly that, an analog volume control that has little or no noise when you play at low levels. Another great advantage is that by controlling the volume in the analog domain, you preserve the dynamic range of the signal, also known as the “signal to noise ratio”. That gives you the freedom to play at any level you want, with virtually any speaker setup, and with the most optimal performance.
DICE II powered
The Konnekt 24D makes use of the newly TC developed DICE II digital interface chip. The DICE II chip provides a very stable digital clock that ensures jitter free digital signal flow, all the way through the device. That means that you get the very best sound quality as having a stable digital clock is crucial if you want to maintain the highest quality possible.
With the integrated JET™ technology the DICE II chip is able to align all digital signals from external digital sources with extreme perfection. The great benefit of this is that all supported digital formats will be automatically aligned and thereby you get maximal digital quality trough and trough.
Thanks to the DICE II and the JET™ technology, the FireWire connections are used to their full potential. Not only does the DICE II ensure ultra stable audio streaming, it also gives you the potential of streaming a great number of simultaneous audio channels, without any loss of quality, and with an extremely accurate timing. And don’t forget that all of this can be done in a massive 192 kHz, 24-bit resolution.
Front panel control
The light ring is a very simple interface that gives you access to a wealth of possibilities, especially when you are using the Konnekt 24D in stand alone mode. It gives you easy access, instant control and visual feedback on important parameters directly from the front panel.
If you don’t want to turn on your computer, but still want to use the TC effects in the Konnekt 24D, you can access them directly from the front panel by using the light ring. What that in reality gives you is the possibility to e.g. plug your guitar directly into the Konnekt 24D, and control dedicated parameters like the reverb return level or the reverb decay time of the Fabrik R reverb. In fact what you have in this example is a guitar preamp and a rack mount quality reverb, totally independent of your computer.
The light ring also gives you complete control of the internal routing of the Konnekt 24D or e.g. the volume or pan status of the selected input. So in a way you have basic mixer functionality right at your fingertips, all thanks to the dedicated light ring control.
Intelligent stand-alone mode
Are you looking for an audio interface with that extra something – like stand-alone functionality, or with the crucial DSP you need to turn your mix into a masterpiece? Konnekt 24D can be used as a basic stand-alone mixer and it even gives you full access to the built in TC effects when you’ve got your computer turned off. Use the reverbs and channel strip inside Konnekt 24D in stand–alone mode and recall settings and routings directly from the front panel.
You can even select DSP programs including their internal routing, directly from the front panel. If you’ve e.g. set up the Fabrik C channel strip, tweaked a few parameters and made a special routing, you can save your settings and assign it to a front panel knob for easy and instant recall. This is great when you’re working in stand-alone mode and don’t want to turn on your computer – simply power up your Konnekt, press the assigned knob on the front panel, and you’re up and running.
The intelligent stand-alone mode is just one of the many features that make the Konnekt 24D a complete and actually quite unique solution – You get total integration with DAWs, as well as serious stand-alone functionality and superior effects processing that you can use anywhere and without a computer.
The control panel
From your computer you can operate the control panel which gives you easy access to the full feature set of the Konnekt 24D. The control panel has been designed for intuitive and speedy control, without leaving any important tweaking possibilities out.
We’ve integrated a very cool auto input sensing system that detects what inputs you’re currently using. As soon as you connect a device, microphone, guitar, or something else to the analog inputs, the input automatically shows on the control panel. If nothing is connected to an input, the channel won’t be shown in the control panel. That leaves you with a complete and to the point picture of what you’ve got connected at the present moment.
If you connect a second Konnekt to your setup, the auto detection kicks in, and the extra Konnekt pops up. If you disconnect the second Konnekt, it simply disappears from the control panel again. Pretty simple, yet very good for keeping things to the point and great for maintaining an overview of your entire setup.
From the main mix window you can control e.g. your monitor mix signal, your effects channels, your e.g. guitar input signal and the like. Control over gain, pan, the mix of each channel, as well as the send amount to the effect channels are pretty straightforward. In short, there’s no hanky panky, you’ve got everything you need, and you’ve got the full overview of your entire setup. Pretty cool!
Real-time monitoring – with effects
With the real-time monitoring capabilities of Konnekt 24D, you have all the possibilities to create the perfect monitoring setup, which is quite a big deal in a recording situation. Imagine that you have to send what you’re playing through the computer before you can hear it. Most likely you’ll get quite a bit of latency.
The Konnekt 24D let’s you monitor yourself directly through the device itself. "But hey, what about the effects, it would be cool to have just a squeeze of reverb on the monitoring signal" No problem, the inbuilt effects will process the signal with no latency as they are perfectly integrated into the real-time monitoring environment.
Remember, that you can do this completely without the computer turned on. If you want, you can even control the effects from the front panel of the Konnekt 24D, which is pretty nice to have when you want to work in stand-alone mode.
Dual headphone output – when you're two in the studio
Dual headphone outputs are great for when you’re two in the studio. What that means is that if you’re doing a recording, and your friend wants to listen in on what you’re laying down, he can simply plug in to the extra headphone output.
Auto speaker muting
This feature automatically mutes your monitor speakers when you don't need them. It works like this: The outputs to the speakers are automatically muted when you plug your headphone jack in to the upper headphone output. You don’t need to go through a tedious setup procedure or worry about if you’ve switched the feature on or off, it simply works automatically.
This auto muting feature is an integral part of the analog circuit design of the Konnekt 24D, which in turn is closely connected and integrated with the analog volume control. The analog volume control is your guarantee of maximal signal to noise ratio, even when you’re using your headphones.
State-of-the-art headphone amplification
We’ve built a state-of-the-art headphone amplification feature in to the headphone outputs, which gives you enough power to plug any kind of headphone set. One great benefit from this is that you don’t have to worry about what kind of headphones you’re using, the Konnekt 24D will take care of business.
Another great advantage of the high level headphone amplification feature is that it will ensure that you always have enough level in your headphones. Having enough level is important if you want to get the full benefit of the noise to ratio signal maximum that the analog volume control and the analog circuit design has to offer.
Cubase LE included
Cubase LE is included with the Konnekt 24D. In essence that gives you a complete recording solution right out of the box. Cubase is a serious host application for audio recording that integrates nicely with Konnekt 24D.
FireWire and DICE II
The Konnekt 24D is a 1394 FireWire based audio interface and one great advantage about this, is that it’s extremely easy to connect more Konnekt 24Ds to your setup, thereby enhancing the number of I/Os and effect channels in your system. But not only is it easy to connect to your computer, the future proof network design also enables direct monitoring between devices.
So in reality you and a friend can sit and practice, listen to each other, and add the inbuilt effects, simply by connecting your devices together via FireWire. Of course this demands serious and professional audio distribution, steadfast clock precision and superior stability. To take care of business we’ve put the TC developed DICE II chip inside. The DICE II chip uses the unique and groundbreaking JET ™ technology, which ensures the highest level of audio performance.
With the future proof network design that the TC NEAR™ network gives you, you can upgrade your system now and in the future. One of the first things you might consider when you buy an audio interface is: how many I/Os do I need?
Often you’ll have a hard time answering that, because maybe you only need e.g. 8 I/Os now, but maybe you’ll at some point wish you spent more money and bought the one with 16 I/Os. On the other hand you might go for the one with 16 I/Os only to discover six months down the road that you’ve never used more then 6 I/Os at the same time, and that’s a waste of money.
What Konnekt offers you is a way out of this conundrum. With the future proof network design, you can add more I/Os to your system without having to get rid of your old audio interface. Just add Konnekts as you need the additional I/Os, and choose between the Konnekt 24D and the base version without any DSP, the Konnekt 8.
One really cool feature with the NEAR™ technology is that direct monitoring between connected devices is possible. If you’re connected to another Konnekt 24D that your friend is playing through, then you can monitor his signal directly and even add the included Fabrik R and Fabrik C effects.
Get konnekt’ed to the TC NEAR network
With the introduction of a genuine TC audio interface, we are pointing the way into the future of audio production. As more and more things become connected and network based, we’ve seen the need for dedicated hardware that aren’t obsolete or even anachronisms the moment they hit the market. For that reason we’ve invented the TC NEAR™ network – Network Expandable Audio Recording.
With the TC NEAR™ network you are able to stack several e.g. Konnekt 24Ds. What this gives you is the freedom to expand your setup and amount of I/O’s easily and with total integration intact. Konnekt 24D gives you an entire audio production package that virtually has no limits – Get Konnekt’ed to the future.
Bus-powered via FireWire
If you’re constantly on the move, and enjoy recording when and where you feel like it, you probably don’t want to be dragging an external power supply along in your suitcase. Simply connect your Konnekt to your laptop via FireWire, and let the bus-power light up your music. In other words, it only takes one cable to get audio, MIDI and power to your Konnekt.
24-bit/192kHz operation
We think that it’s paramount that you have access to ultimate recording quality that will make your audio shine. The Konnekt 24D gives you a massive 192kHz 24-bit sample rate, which is in perfect alignment with today’s and tomorrow’s ever increasing demand for high quality audio.
But Konnekt 24D is not just an audio interface that points well into the future in terms of high resolution audio, it also gives you superior stability, a perfectly aligned digital signal flow, no artifacts and no digital jitter…and this is all due to the TC developed DICE II digital interface chip.
TM™ – Technological Masterpieces
At TC Electronic we have a highly innovative and creative R&D department that insists on pushing the limit. As a result, we’re constantly inventing new technologies that point well into the future. With the introduction of the Konnekt family we are happy to introduce you to these technological masterpieces:

TC is renowned for its mic preamps. Today we offer you a refinement of one of the finest mic preamps on the market. Konnekt comes with IMPACT™ preamps, giving you the very best possibilities to make a mic recording that almost emanates pure gold.
TC NEAR™ – Network Expandable Audio Recording
Networking is the future, and we believe you should be connected to the future. With the TC NEAR™ network you are able to connect several Konnekts together. What this gives you is the freedom to expand your setup and amount of I/Os easily and with total integration intact. Another splendid benefit of the TC NEAR™ network is the direct monitoring capabilities it has to offer.
Konnekt24D also features a chromatic tuner.
The guitar tuner will show up in two incarnations:
1) The light ring can be set to act as a tuner, showing if the note is in tune and if not, how much it differs
