Electronic Digital Konnekt x32
Digital patchbay, format converter and FireWire audio interface
Digital Konnekt x32 is every studio’s missing link, integrating
digital equipment with computer-based recording setups. Digital Konnekt
x32 is the utility product fitting the needs of project studios and other
digital setups in need of a "Swiss army knife" in digital
signal handling. It features FireWire connection to and from your DAW
and it allows efficient routing and conversion between multiple digital
formats and sample rates, as well as providing extra features such as
analog outputs, scene recall, convenient monitoring and front panel lock.
All the Tools - One Toolbox
Up until now, the pro audio market has only
seen single function units such as format and sample rate converters,
patchbay's and audio interfaces offering digital signal handling. Never
before have these essential functions been incorporated in a single platform
linking your entire fleet of digital devices to your DAW.
Make your favorite hardware the heart of your DAW
With Digital Konnekt
and the new Integrator plug-in, you can now utilize your trusted and
favorite digital hardware tools within your DAW system!
Featuring TC's plug-in streaming technology, the Integrator plug-in
(VST and AU) facilitates seamless integration of all external units with
your recording setup; once connected, adding the unique sound of your
Reverb4000 (or any other digital external hardware unit) is just a mouse
click away. And with the built-in latency roundtrip measuring feature
and your DAW's latency compensation, your projects will not suffer from
latency introduced by the external hardware.
Digital Patchbay
Tired of re-wiring over and over again? With Konnekt
Digital x32 you connect your digital hardware once, make the wiring that
fits your setup requirements and you’re good to go. All subsequent
routing takes place from the front panel of Digital Konnekt x32.
Format converter
Digital Konnekt x32 provides efficient format conversion
between units using ADAT, SPDIF, TOS and AES/EBU digital formats. Any
input format can be converted into either of the listed formats and aligned
to any sample rate ranging from 44.1 to 96 kHz.
Audio interface
Two FireWire connections enable you to use Konnekt Digital
x32 as an audio interface connected to a computer. It streams 16 channels
of audio to and from the computer, and is compatible with other TC Electronic
audio interfaces.
Integrator plug-in
Digital Konnekt x32’s Integrator plug-in makes
integration of external hardware into your DAW environment seamless.
It offers a "plug-in" audio routing representation of your
external hardware, e.g. Reverb4000, Finalizer, System6000, etc. Since
Integrator operates like a normal VST/AU plug-in it can be inserted on
any track, as a send effect or on the master output of your host application.
Unique digital matrix style UI for direct selection of signals
Since
all functions are assigned individual front panel buttons without underlying
sub menus, Digital Konnekt x32 gives an instant overview of routing and
offers intuitive and direct monitoring and operation.
8 channels of sample rate conversion on board for optimal digital
adaption
In a digital setup without a sample rate converter it is imperative that
all units run by the same sample rate. Increasingly more project studios
prefer to run their host application at 96 kHz, a sample rate which lots
of digital hardware doesn’t support. Also, using devices that does
not receive a digital signal - keyboards, synthesizers, cd/dvd players
etc., is a challenge without sample rate converters. With Digital Konnekt
x32 this is no problem. Its sample rate converters allow you to align
units running at different sample rates ranging from 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz.
Analog outs (phone and balanced line) for monitoring
Analog stereo outs
allow you to connect a set of monitor speakers. This is perfect when
you use it as an audio interface, and together with the phones out, it
easily lets you monitor each of the inputs individually.
Scene recall enabling instant recall of full setups
The Scene recall
function allows you to store up to 4 snapshots of all active routings
and settings.
JET™ technology ensures rock solid digital
signal handling
The
TC developed DICE II chip, running Digital Konnekt x32’s super
stable clock, is based on JET™, Jitter Elimination Technology.
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 maximum digital quality
through and through.
Integrator plug-in
The Integrator plug-in (VST and AU) makes integration of external hardware
into your DAW environment seamless. It offers a "plug-in" audio
routing representation of your external hardware, e.g. Reverb4000, Finalizer,
System6000, etc.
VST and AU
Since Integrator operates like a normal VST/AU plug-in it
can be inserted on any track, as a send effect or on the master output
of your host application.
Multiple devices
Integrator works with up to four Konnekt audio interfaces
at a time, so if you have more interfaces, simply select the one that
the external hardware is attached to.
Easy routing
To setup the routing of Integrator is as simple as possible.
You only have to select the first audio channel: Integrator will then
figure out how to route the rest. So, if you for instance have connected
your external hardware to the S/PDIF 7+8, simply select S/PDIF 7.
Calibration
With the calibrate feature you can measure the latency of the entire signal
chain from plug-in input to plug-in output, including the latency of
the plug-in, the audio driver, the D/A and A/D converters and the latency
of the external hardware you use. You can see the total roundtrip latency,
and the host application will automatically compensate for this latency.
Integrator has sample accurate latency measurement.
Test signal
Integrator is able to generate a test signal to verify that
your external hardware is routed correctly. The auto test signal mode
will cycle between channels.
Meters
Integrator features nice and clear send and return meter sections,
and with the level controls you can control the send level and the return
level individually.
Included with all Konnekt audio interfaces
From TC Near Konnekt software
version 1.30, the Integrator plug-in is included with all Konnekt interfaces.
