Desktop Konnekt 6 - the shortest distance between your music and capturing it
FireWire Audio Interface | Monitor Control

Desktop Konnekt 6 offers the same high quality recording features as the other interfaces of the Konnekt product family, 
but in a desktop design that allows you to focus on performance rather than technology. 

Once you get started recording, you’ll immediately treasure the benefits of Desktop Konnekt 6. Packed into this interface 
are features such as an ergonomic volume knob for total control of input and monitoring levels, high resolution meters 
for visual level read out, a studio reverb that will warm up your headphone mix while you’re recording, and a high quality 
IMPACT™ preamp for top-notch sound quality.

Desktop Konnekt 6’s unique design not only makes it fit perfectly onto your desktop for easy operation, it will also make 

you want to leave it right next to your laptop – just for its great looks.

Hands-on Design

Operational simplicity just doesn’t come any easier. The intuitive design of Desktop Konnekt 6’s user interface means no 
tedious manual reading before you’re up and running. 

Big Control

Desktop Konnekt 6’s volume control is always within reach when you need it. If you have ever accidentally blasted a 
non-muted signal from your host application through a pair of active speakers, you’ll soon learn to appreciate this knob as 
your (or your neighbors’) savior.

IMPACT™ - Integrated Mic PreAmp Circuit Technology

TC is renowned for its mic preamps, notably ranking among the finest mic preamps on the market. Desktop Konnekt 6 
comes with an IMPACT™ preamp, making the recording of a vocal or instrument pure joy. Also equipped with the same 
instrument inputs used in TC’s high-end guitar processors, Desktop Konnekt 6 offers studio quality recordings regardless 
of the source.

High Resolution Meter

Desktop Konnekt 6’s high resolution meter puts critical information right where you need it. The three modes allow you to 
use the meter for input, output, or mastering purposes.

M40 Studio Reverb

Included with the Desktop Konnekt 6 is the M40 Studio Reverb – a simple to use, great sounding reverb that is powered 

by AlgoFlex™, a new high definition TC technology that enables hardware quality and predictability to be ported to native 
software. It is available for tracking to increase the recording comfort without tying the effect to the final take, operated by 
the control panel and the reverb knob on the front panel of Desktop Konnekt 6. 
The M40 Studio Reverb is also available as a natively running VST/AU plug-in, allowing you to use it as part of your session 
in your PC or Mac.
