Messe: New TC interface...

Man, and I just bought a FireBox, too. This is the Konnekt 24D, a new interface from TC. Aside from the rather ostentatious use of the letter “K” this seems to be a pretty sweet box. It has the Fabrik C channel strip and Fabrik R ’verb poured in DSP right in the box, and you can use ’em standalone which is kind of nifty. 2 line ins, 2 mic pres, 4 line outs, plus ADAT ports.

Another nice feature is that you can network up to three together for extra I/O. I can’t find how many Fabrik C instances you can run per unit, but I’m guessing the answer is “one,” which is kind of a bitch. I imagine they feel you’ll use it on the input. I’m not too hip on printing my DSP dynamics and E.Q. as most of the fun of having a DAW is having a non-volatile workspace.

Anyways, this looks pretty sweet. 470 Eu for the Konnekt 24D, and 320 Eu for the Konnekt 8, which is obviously less I/O and no DSP on-board.
